The latest narratives surrounding U.S. foreign policy under the current administration are increasingly alarming, especially as they plunge the nation back into a realm of insecurity and instability. The recent discussions suggest that the Biden administration’s approach, characterized by weakness and indecision, has left allies vulnerable and adversaries emboldened. In stark contrast, the previous administration’s policy of “peace through strength” resulted in a notable absence of major conflicts and provided a framework for proactive international relations.
What the media often overlooks is that the former president did not simply avoid wars; he actively cultivated peace among nations traditionally at odds. During his tenure, Israel normalized relations with several Arab nations thanks to initiatives like the Abraham Accords. These agreements were not just ceremonial—they were pivotal in shifting longstanding geopolitical dynamics in the region. In just four years, the world witnessed relative peace among countries that had previously been hostile to one another, demonstrating how strong diplomatic relationships can lay the groundwork for stability.
Moreover, the handling of Iran is a testament to the previous administration’s effective international strategy. By instituting tough sanctions and keeping the Iranian regime financially cornered, the former president ensured Iran was unable to fund terrorism or pursue aggressive military ventures. Rather than being a simple “isolationist,” he proactively safeguarded U.S. interests and those of allies. Under the current administration, however, the sanctions have been loosened, and billions poured back into Iran’s coffers. This directly correlates to the increased aggression we’ve witnessed from Iranian-backed groups, putting both regional and global security at risk.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has further illustrated the implications of weak leadership on the world stage. The assertion that Russia would have invaded Ukraine under the previous administration is not supported by the facts. With favorable oil prices and a solid understanding of the geopolitical landscape, it is unlikely that Putin would have taken such a drastic step when faced with a strong adversary. Instead, prior negotiations and strategic posturing deterred aggression, fostering a sense of security rather than creating an environment ripe for conflict.
As tensions rise in places like Israel, where citizens are facing unprecedented threats, the ability to maintain strong alliances becomes crucial. Organizations like the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews are stepping up to provide much-needed support to those affected by violence. Their work is a reminder that, despite the geopolitical chaos, there is still hope through unity and mutual assistance among allies. In an era where it seems the current administration is struggling to connect with allies, it becomes increasingly important to remember the lessons of peace through strength.
Americans cannot overlook the stark contrast between the previous administration’s foreign policy and the current one. The results speak for themselves—zero major wars, strong alliances, and conditions promoting peace. While the legacy media may prefer sensational stories over substance, it is essential to remind ourselves of the value of a leader who prioritizes strength, diplomacy, and proactive measures on the world stage.
