Reminder: Biden will bring back the foreign policy experts who're guided our country for decades

“Billions for tribute, not a penny for defense”

John Kerry: “There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world. I want to make that very clear to all of you.”

Now there are three [Sudan signed a treaty with Israel this week] And there is no agreement with the Palestinians. Instead, they are becoming increasingly isolated as countries who used to financially support them grow increasingly frustrated with their intractable violence and inability to provide for their citizens.

None of these agreements would be possible without the blessing of Saudi Arabia, even though that nation has not announced anything yet [but has already opened its airspace to Israel]. Listening to an interview with Jared Kushner, who led a team in negotiating these agreements, it sounds like our own experts’ resistance was more challenging than discussions with leaders in the region.

It makes you wonder just how entrenched in one way of thinking our establishment and bureaucracy are. They go to the same schools, work for the same think tanks, and join the same professional associations. They assure you they know what is best, but not much ever really seems to change.

It took an outsider in Donald Trump to shatter some of the old assumptions, especially when it comes to foreign policy. A business career is about results. Successful business leaders cannot let problems persist, or they cost money. And to be clear, persistent foreign policy issues can be terribly costly, especially when it involves our military.

It should make you wonder if failure to solve problems among our entrenched political class comes from an inability or a lack of desire. Persistent problems require “experts” who make a living by fixing nothing. A great gig if you can get it. These same “experts” warned that every foreign policy move Trump made was going to start a war or backfire.

Their doomsday predictions never came true. Whether it was tariffs on China, pressuring our NATO allies to pay up, renegotiating trade deals, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, or killing General Soleimani, President Trump implemented his own strategy and won. Nothing has blown up, and there have been no new conflicts. No wonder they hate him.

And then there’s also the new economic treaty brokered by the White House between Kosovo and Serbia, and both countries agreeing to move their embassies to Jerusalem. The best Hillary and Biden could do over there was to dodge imaginary missiles and call out to Jon Kerry, busy on a swift boat in the Mekong Delta, for help.

Trump is also the first president since Reagan to not start a war; no wonder the Swamp is pissed.
