Keep America Weak.

I can think of many slogans to describe the Biden-Harris administration, but that one sums it up.

The next president will inherit a United States vastly weaker and less influential than the one Biden and Harris were bequeathed in January 2021.

Just days before the election – on Halloween, to be exact – Secretary of State Anthony Blinken heaped praise on Communist China after a meeting in Washington where top US diplomats begged China to use its influence to keep North Korea from sending troops to help Russia in the Ukraine war.

What a pathetic display of American weakness! In just four short years, how far have we fallen!

President Trump would have picked up the phone and described to Little Rocket Man the bad things that would happen to him if he made such a move.

On second thought, Trump would never have needed to call Little Rocket Man because Russia would never have invaded Ukraine on his watch. How do we know this? Because none of America’s adversaries or competitors or even the little trouble makers of the planet dared to displease the United States while Trump was president.

Even Little Cookie of France was relegated to sniggering behind his back with Justin Trudeau while he slobbered all over Trump in public.

Over the past four years, Russia and China have forged an alliance that previous US presidents never thought possible. As members of the United Nations Security Council, armed with vetoes, they have been able to prevent any action on the Ukraine war, North Korean missile launches, or Iranian nuclear weapons development.

The UN can’t even revive and reinforce the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to carry out its stated mission of demilitarizing the border between Lebanon and Israel and disarming Hezbollah. Why? Because Hezbollah is an Iranian proxy, and Russia and China are now allied with Iran.

As we look forward, a second Trump administration could find the UN increasingly a relic of bye gone times.

To be fair, the UN has been irrelevant for most of its history. The same blockage that exists today crippled the institution through most of the Cold War. The most notable exception, after the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, was the UN force authorized to oppose the Communist Chinese invasion of Korea. But that only was possible because the Soviet Union and China were then on the outs.

Another brief respite of UN relevance began in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union and lasted until the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008.  Since then, it’s back to the bad old days of the Cold war.

China is now building a new generation of nuclear attack submarines, which will incorporate Russian acoustic dampening technology, stolen from the West. The Zhang III have been called “China’s first quiet submarine.”

By 2030, China will have more submarines than we do, 76 to 66. Among that fleet will be six boomers capable of launching nuclear missiles against the American heartland from anywhere beneath the seas.

Our current fleet of 14 Ohio class SSBNs will start to be phased out in 2028. President Trump ordered construction of the first Columbia class SSNB to replace them on October 2020, but it will not come on line until 2031.

China is also expected to have doubled its nuclear weapons arsenal by 2030, to around 1500. None of those warheads are subject to any international arms limitation treaty. Just imagine China joining Russia in nuclear blackmail of America.

It’s no wonder that Putin has said openly that he would prefer dealing with Harris rather than Trump as the next US president.

Harris has shown herself to be a master of character assassination, a skill she certainly honed as Biden’s vice president. But calling Putin a murderer, or President Xi a human rights violator, does not make America strong or respected.

It will take time and money to restore America’s credibility, but that starts on January 20, 2025.

I discuss this as well as Israel’s options when it comes to Iran, and the elections more generally, in this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend. As always, you can listen live at 1 PM on 104.9 FM or 550 AM in the Jacksonville, Florida, area, or catch the podcast later.

And if you have purchased my latest book, The Iran House, I invite you to drop a review on Amazon. Everyone wants to know what you, the readers, think!

Join me in praying for our country, and that the Lord continues to extend his hedge of protection over Donald J. Trump and JD Vance.

Yours in freedom.
