If President Biden had any decency, he’d limit his United Nations speech Tuesday to two words: I’m sorry.
Kamala Harris should echo that.
Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates once warned (all too rightly) that Biden had been “wrong on nearly every major foreign-policy and national-security issue over the past four decades.”
Over the past four years, Joe and Kam have continued that pattern, leaving the world facing its most perilous threats in decades.
Start with the disastrous bugout from Afghanistan, executed in blatant defiance of every military adviser and the plan left in place by the Trump team.

That bugout enabled the Taliban to triumphantly retake control of the country, humiliating America and seizing billions in weaponry our forces left behind — erasing all the progress made in 20 years of fighting.
Worse, it sent the message that Washington can’t be trusted as an ally, that aggressors could get away with almost anything.
And Harris brags that she was the “last person in the room,” backing Biden made when he made that fatal decision.
It was downhill from there:
Russia seized the opportunity to launch a fresh invasion of Ukraine as Biden signaled that, as a “minor incursion,” would be OK; our president then slow-walked aid and tied Kyiv’s hands on the use of US weapons.
Iran ramped up its drive for nukes as Harris-Biden sucked up to the regime, ending key Trump-era sanctions that had strangled the Iranian economy and sending billions to Islamic Republic outright.
Its cashflow restored, Tehran upped its funding of terror groups, and helped Hamas plan and launch the Oct. 7 massacre, triggering the Gaza war.
Iran also boosted the Houthis, who’ve now shut down the Red Sea to Western shipping.
And Hezbollah, which has fired nearly 9,000 rockets and drones at Israel since Oct. 7 and is now threatening an all-out war.
China, meanwhile, has grown increasingly aggressive, harassing neighbors like the Philippines and Taiwan, militarizing islands in the South China Sea and aiming to control shipping lanes.
Beijing has also reasserted its intention to reclaim Taiwan soon — by force, if necessary.
To make up for their self-destructive war on US oil, and thinking dictator Nicholas Maduro would allow a fair election, Harris and Biden lifted oil sanctions on Venezuela — only to see Maduro steal this year’s election.
Biden and Border Czar Harris let in millions of barely vetted migrants, overwhelming cities and creating new crime and terror threats.
One of the scariest developments: the alignment of Iran, China, Russia and North Korea against the West — even as Team Harris-Biden has shrunk the US military and focused it more on pronouns, less on fighting enemies.
Now the world’s on the brink of an all-out war in the Middle East that could well rope in America.
And another if Russia defeats Ukraine and then looks to expand its hegemony further.
And still another when China makes a play for Taiwan.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f – – k things up,” President Barack Obama reportedly warned years ago.
Sadly, America’s voters did just that in 2020, and now the entire free world is paying the price.
