Morning Glory: Weak, wrong, infirm—and afraid

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

"You have to have a victory," former President Trump told me last week about Israel’s war with Hamas, "and it’s taking a long time."

"Israel knows what they’re doing," Trump added. "To listen to these people [like President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken], what they’ve done is not only Afghanistan, but I actually happen to think Afghanistan was the lowest point in the history of our country."

"I don’t think there’s ever been a more embarrassing moment in the history of our country than what happened in Afghanistan," Trump continued. "Between losing $85 billion dollars’ worth of equipment, 13 great soldiers, who I know the families and the parents of every one of them, 13, unbelievable. And by the way, nobody talks about this, 38 soldiers who were decimated with the arms and the legs and the face. 38. Nobody mentions them. And leaving hundreds of people behind. We don’t even know what number, but we have a lot of people that are probably going to turn out to be hostages at a certain moment."

"No, no, this was the worst, most embarrassing moment in history," Trump concluded. "And if that didn’t happen, I don’t believe that Russia would have gone into Ukraine. I even think it had an impact on October 7th."

I believe Trump is correct on all three counts. Had he won in 2020 we would not have had the debacle in Afghanistan, Putin’s second invasion of Ukraine (the first occurred while President Obama was in office) and Iran would indeed have been broke and a very different sort of menace, the sort that doesn’t have the money to buy Hezbollah and Hamas their arsenals and train their terrorists.
