As a democracy, America offers its citizens a chance to change direction in both domestic and foreign policies with the election of a president or a Congress. Since 9/11, national security choices have become crucial to Americans as the country has been involved in wars overseas and terrorism has spread widely. Trump defeated ISIS, contained Iran, and brokered Middle East peace deals. The Obama administration brokered the Iran deal and partnered with the extremist Ikhwan. Do Americans want to return to the foreign policy of Obama via a Biden presidency? That’s the choice. “I have interviewed Professor Walid Phares for more than a decade on the most critical national security and foreign policy issues facing America as well as on his role as an advisor to President Donald Trump and many other U.S. national leaders. Dr. Phares’s books and expertise have often been predictive of world affairs. In his new book The Choice, he helps Americans understand the deep foreign policy differences between the candidates and what the election means for the future.” —Raymond Arroyo, Fox News Contributor, New York Times bestselling author
The author did a good job of laying out the vast differences in foreign policy between Trump and Obama. They are very different and it’s obvious to see now that Obama coddled up with the wrong people (Iran and The Muslim Brotherhood). Trump’s policy on China and the Middle East are producing tangible results and Biden would be wise to consider them before proceeding down the Obama path.
The biggest issue the author focused on was the Iran deal. This was good in that it helped me better understand the deal and why it was supported by Obama and the Europeans ($money$). He then used this issue as the main reason for the cause of the resistance (Russia Collusion hoax, impeachment, etc...) put in front of Trump over the past four years. I disagree. The resistance was put in place because Trump was an outsider to Washington and they were not going to let him achieve any success, for this would call into question their very pathetic existence. One day a brave journalist will write just how disgusting the resistance was and how dangerous such uncheckable power can be.
