When America is weak and inconsistent, the world is more dangerous. Our nation’s politicians and business elites have made years of stupid decisions that have weakened this country to such a degree that we are paralyzed when a madman with nuclear weapons is on a rampage.

In 1994, the Clinton Administration led other world leaders in convincing Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for Russia, the U.K., and the US guaranteeing the country’s security. Had Ukraine kept its nuclear weapons, it is highly likely that this war would’ve never happened in the first place. Ukraine entered into the Budapest Memorandum under the belief that they would be protected if attacked. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in February “Ukraine has received security guarantees for abandoning the world’s third nuclear capability. We don’t have that weapon. We also have no security.” Our inconsistency and unreliability as a partner have left an ally vulnerable to the whims of a lunatic.

Fast-forward to today and our leaders are still making inconsistent and stupid decisions. The Biden Administration foolishly kneecapped our ability to produce our own oil, taking us from energy independence back to dependence in the blink of an eye.
