Foreign Policy, Support for Ukraine


It’s no wonder the Commission on Presidential Debates changed the final debate topic from being about Foreign Policy in the 2020 debates – it’s Joe Biden’s weakest subject!

As Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates once said, Joe Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

It is no surprise that gross missteps in foreign policy (on top of inflation and other economic woes) has resulted in Joe Biden having the weakest first term approval ratings since Jimmy Carter.

Failed Afghanistan Withdrawal

Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal was a complete and total failure. 

As a nation, we were ready to see the end of our endless wars. We just weren’t ready to see the absolute failure of policy and execution that played out in real time in Afghanistan.

It started with the premature closing of Bagram Air Base, which created an environment of retreat in which the Taliban forces could blitz the country’s capital Kabul.

The tragic loss of our 13 service members who were protecting the evacuation operation at the Kabul airport was truly heartbreaking.

The wake of this disastrous withdrawal leaves the Taliban in control again 20 years after we went to war, and it left them untold billions in U.S. weapons, vehicles and cash.

When Republicans take over the majority after the 2022 Red Wave, I will make sure the Oversight Committee I’m on is able to get to the bottom of what we left and what threats that might pose to American interests today.

Failure to Deter Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Everyone knows this instinctively – Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if we had a strong leader in the White House like Donald Trump.

Vladimir Putin is evil. There can be no equivocation on this. I have traveled to Poland to meet with Ukrainian refugees and seen the effects of his evil firsthand.

Joe Biden should have taken preemptive measures to impose tough sanctions on Russia, so that they knew we meant business.

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 with little consequence. Then they took the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014.

Now we’re still watching the horrors unfolding in Ukraine, as there is open war raging in Europe.

I oppose sending U.S. troops into a war with Russia over Ukraine. America First – I’m more concerned with securing our own southern border, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also try to stop Putin’s expansion into Europe.

I strongly support increased crippling sanctions. I sponsored a bipartisan bill to ban Russian oil imports, and soon after Joe Biden saw both parties behind this idea, he finally banned Russian oil imports.

The sanctions simply haven’t done enough. The Russian Ruble is stronger today than it was before the Ukrainian invasion.

Weak, indecisive leaders make the world less stable, which means supply chain issues and economic challenges right here at home.
