Biden sets a foreign policy trap for Trump with the looming Ukraine catastrophe.  . . ."As Democrats look ahead to 2028, a matchup perhaps with Vance, they are certainly recalling how the disastrous ending to our Afghanistan involvement marked the turning point in the American public’s perception of Biden’s competence as a president. They would love to turn the tables.

"They will say, “We did everything we could to save Ukraine.” They will trot out the list of all the weapons supplied, they will highlight all the billions provided. “Not our fault,” they will insist. “Trump owns this one. He promised peace, and brought catastrophe instead.” As the Afghanistan example makes clear, while the American people rightly disdain involvement in foreign wars, they also react angrily to any perception of national embarrassment — and they are quick to punish perceived failures.

Avoiding the Trap

"But if failure looms in Ukraine, its most notable author will be Joe Biden. Every dollar of U.S. assistance has come with paralyzing strings attached or has been released and delivered long after it could have achieved decisive results. As one example, the Danes and the Dutch were eager to donate their F-16 fighter jets (fabricated in Belgium, not the U.S.), but the Biden administration dragged its feet about allowing this to go forward.

"Furthermore, as the Trump team takes up the burden of dealing with the mess they’ve been handed in Ukraine, they would do well to point out just how behind handed Biden’s support for Ukraine has been. While the $62 billion might well have been spent on other priorities — hurricane relief comes to mind — it pales beside so much else the Biden administration has spent foolishly. By one estimate Biden has already spent some $620 billion on student debt cancellation, almost precisely ten times the military assistance sent to Ukraine. The Trump team might also point to the billions in military equipment abandoned to the Taliban" . . .

Biden Gave Iran $10 Billion in Sanctions Relief Days After Trump Won Election  

. . ."The sanctions waiver also came just days after the United Nations determined that Iran was able to give the Houthi rebels in Yemen “unprecedented” support after the Biden administration waived $6 billion in sanctions on Iran." . .  .
