Screw-ups in leaked docs are just the latest of Joe’s blunders abroad
Biden-era disasters refuse to end.
The latest: a horrific leak of classified documents that’s undermined Ukraine’s defense against Russia, damaged relations with allies, exposed intelligence sources and further eroded trust.
Meanwhile, the docs expose (some of) the damage President Joe Biden’s already done to America’s standing in the world.
And the Bidenites have no clue how such sensitive documents could’ve become public, or what more might surface.
“We don’t know who’s behind this” or “what the motive is,” conceded National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. Is that worrisome? “You’re darn right it is.”
Meanwhile,the prez is busy trying to repair the damage . . . oh, wait, no: He’s gallivanted off with Hunter and the rest of the family to Ireland.
Where he’s dodging the press.
He plainly doesn’t want to discuss what the docs seem to reveal.
Like info on the preparation of Ukrainian brigades in advance of an expected offensive, and on tanks, artillery, equipment and supply lines. And word that the war-torn nation’s air defenses will be exhausted by next month.
This, when Biden (even as that intel was presented to him) was publicly telling President Volodymyr Zelensky, “We have every confidence that you’re going to continue to prevail.”
The docs claim that Egypt, an ally that receives billions in US aid, planned to produce and ship up to 40,000 rockets to Russia, The Washington Post reported. They paint Israel’s Mossad as playing politics, and also insult South Korea’s leaders. (Each allied government denies the relevant “revelations.”)
What country now will trust Washington — on policy or on keeping secrets?
All this also (again) calls into question the competence of the US intelligence community, not just in failing to prevent the leaks, but in sharing such radioactive (and in many cases dubious) info so freely.
All this follows a string of monumental Biden screw-ups abroad — from the disastrously botched bugout in Afghanistan to his failure to immediately disable the Chinese spy balloon to his pathetic reliance on sanctions threats (rather than immediate military aid to Kyiv) to deter Russia’s invasion.
Biden’s domestic debacles (the border crisis, still-spiraling inflation, etc.) have weakened America at home, but his disasters on the world stage add up to genuine catastrophe.
