Biden Administration Intentionally Weakening Military: Retired General

Authored by Beth Brelje via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

When the United States acts, the world is always watching, and one of the loudest messages since President Joe Biden took office came from how the United States handled its withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

What message did that send globally to other government leaders who may see America as an adversary? That was a question asked by Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, during a panel discussion Thursday about America’s role on the world stage at the Pray Vote Stand Summit in Atlanta hosted by FRC Action, the legislative affiliate of Family Research Council.

I think that will go down in history as the worst foreign policy failure in U.S. history. Every decision that was made was wrong,” said Lt. General (Ret.) William Boykin, executive vice president at Family Research Council. “What did that say to the rest of the world? It said that we have weak leadership. And you have to ask yourself, why did Vladimir Putin refrain from attacking Ukraine during the Trump administration? And then he went in with barrels blazing, under the Biden administration, and I will tell you, I think a lot of that goes back to the weakness that people—both our adversaries and our friends—recognized in the Biden administration.”

Other countries recognize that the Biden administration is weak and indecisive on many issues, he said, not just how the U.S. military left Afghanistan.

Boykin mentioned Biden’s approach to the Paris climate change treaty and his efforts to get the United States back into the Iran nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

What’s the value to the United States? And what’s the value to our allies, to put Iran on a pathway to nuclear warheads,” Boykin said. “I think we’re going to continue to see the consequences of not only the pullout of Afghanistan, but stupid decisions that have been made by the administration, one of which is … our president shut down our pipeline, and then turned around and went to the Saudis.”

Boykin said there were several Saudi nationals flying the planes on 9/11 and that Saudi Arabia has been a major sponsor of terrorism. Despite this, Biden went to Saudi Arabia and to Russia to ask for oil after shutting down America’s oil production, Boykin said.

“Does that make sense to anybody? It’s the most foolish thing,” he said. “They see that kind of decision making, and they see us as being weak, and they see this as a time when they can take advantage of us.”

Weakening Military

Boykin believes weakness is more than an international perception, and he gave examples of how Biden is intentionally weakening the military, including kicking out servicemembers who refused to get the COVID-19 shot and teaching critical race theory and inclusion tolerance instead of teaching how to be in a constant state of readiness for war.

“All of these things that have nothing to do with the mission and everything to do with the agenda of the administration—you are doing them an injustice and ultimately you’re going to pay the price for that,” Boykin said.

“At the same time, they’re turning around and writing to old generals like me, saying, ‘We need help recruiting because we just can’t recruit enough people.’ Well let me explain to you how this thing of mathematics works. You get rid of all of them, and then those who are watching from the outside say, ‘I don’t want a part of that.’ And those on the inside, many of them leave on their own.”

Many in leadership at the Pentagon got their start under President Barack Obama, Boykin said.

“If they’re compromised—if they lack focus, the question we need to ask as a nation is, who’s mentoring the next generation of leaders? Who’s bringing up the warrior leaders for the future? The answer is nobody,” he said. “And that’s the hardest thing to fix in terms of restoring the Navy and the Army and Air Force and the Marine Corps.”

China Is Watching

Perkins directed the conversation to China and asked panelist Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” how China likely views the Biden administration’s moves.

We don’t have to speculate. The Communist Party propaganda was very clear,” Chang said.

The day that Kabul fell to the Taliban in Afghanistan, Chang said, Chinese newspapers declared that China would invade Taiwan at some point, and that when this happens, the island will fall within hours and the United States will not come to help.

When did Ft Dix move? It used to be in the Pine Barrens, now it’s near Trenton?

Definite Mandela effect.

Actually, it’s between the Pine Barrens and Trenton.
The Pine Barrens got it’s name because it’s a fucking sandpit where little else grows but pine trees and scrubby-ass sticker vines. Basic training for recruits shut down years ago and if you look closely, the picture is a National Guard unit from Massivtooshitts.

Putin went into to Ukraine to root out the Nazis that Obama installed, who were shelling innocent civilians in eastern Ukraine since Obama installed them. So, what is it that would be right about coming against Putin for removing Globalist BRITISH/VATICAN Banker-installed Nazis from Ukraine? It would be far better for Putin to nuke the seat of this satanic New World Order. The city built on a satanic pentagram, the city of London and the Vatican. The city built on a satanic pentagram ALWAYS belonged to the British Territorial and Papal Municipal Govts., that have masqueraded as our Republic since the Civil War they created. No, The U.S. Military does not serve the American People. Since the Civil War, which it treasonously waged against the American People FOR the bankers, it has been serving the bankers. Those who lead the U.S. Military need to be EXECUTED right beside Clinton, Bush, Obama and satan’s little habitation, Joe Biden. They are weakened because they do not serve God or the People. They do not serve the American people at all, nor God above, therefore they will be annihilated.

US military weakened since losing Korean war (early 50’s), hasn’t won a war since. Generals are pro globalist leftists.

I get tired of hearing this. To win a war, a war must be waged. Including Korea, we have yet to be at war. Sending the military to fuck shit up is not a war. There are no winners.

… root out the Nazis that Obama installed…
…Globalist BRITISH/VATICAN Banker-installed Nazis from Ukraine…
… the seat of this satanic New World Order… the city of London and the Vatican…

Beyond dumb.

… serving the bankers…

You’re in the ballpark here.

… They do not serve the American people at all, nor God above…

this general is a fucking idiot and he is the perfect example of why the military has been destroyed from within. he complains about firing soldiers who refuse the suicide shot when the real problem is that any of the EUA serum was given in the first place. anyone who has taken it has 2 years to live – in some cases maybe up to 5. But embalmers are reporting that 85% of corpses have blood clotting – and not blood clots – protein clots – a totally different animal. this general should be executed for stupidity. journal of vaccine theory, practice, and research reported that 94% of recipients of the bioweapon have blood pathologies and deformities. these people are walking zombies.
