OPINION:
To China, who is behind the takeover of Afghanistan, and our allies, I say this: Do not believe that the cowardly withdrawal from Afghanistan by our present leadership sums up the character of America. The wonderful work of our troops for 20 years to free a country, educate people, fix roads, build hospitals and keep people safe at the cost of their lives— that is America.
This historic failure to care for our people and those who helped us in Afghanistan is the work of a few “progressives” who would rather serve China than work for freedom. It is the same kind of problem solving that says it is OK to break immigration laws and leave citizens unprotected against COVID-19 and terrorists. It is the same kind of problem solving that is seen in thinking you can stop the killing in cities by defunding the police.
These choices do not show the true values of America. Rather, they are the values of an elitist who believes he can cheat in elections, take money from China and ignore our real problems by blaming guns, poverty and others for every one of his own failures. He will be removed; America will be great again.
