when obama left office, this war was more or less over. some skirmishes had to be mopped up, but the jihadists had been thoroughly defeated. the west was triumphant.

when biden leaves office, the jihadists will be in control of three countries (afghanistan, syria, libya), which puts them in a stronger position than they've ever been in, and while i'm sure they made pinky swears to biden personally that they love america and will fight the russians for perpetuity, the shifting nature of barbarian alliances generates tremendous levels of instability and makes this outcome extremely dangerous. there is a new axis of evil developing out of those three terror states that's going to need to be eradicated.

that is biden's foreign policy legacy in the medium term: the return of islam not just as america's single greatest threat, but as a clear and present danger, and i hope the new administration realizes it and takes steps to neutralize it.
