The Only Way Back To Deterrence Is Firing Biden’s Entire National Security Team

It's important to stress that Biden had bad instincts on national security when he was a younger man.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wrote that Biden "Has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." Now that Biden appears to be suffering from mental decline, he is making national security decisions that are irrational and dangerous.

If Biden Can't Be Replaced Now, Replace His Yes-Men In a perfect world, Biden would immediately resign, be impeached, or be removed from office under the 25th Amendment for this unprecedented incompetence and dereliction of duty.

Since removing Biden from office is not possible right now, other action must be taken: replacing his top national security advisers with experts who have the experience, principles, and gravitas to reverse the damage Biden is doing to our national security and will stand up to future unsound and dangerous decisions by this president.

Biden should make CIA Director William Burns - his only competent cabinet-level national security official - national security advisor or secretary of state.

Is there a chance Biden would ever make such moves? There might be, because replacing his national security team would be seen as taking bold and decisive action in response to outrage over his Afghanistan policy and questions about his leadership.

Democrats almost certainly will not agree to remove him, so their Republican colleagues must pressure them to pursue the next best option: surrounding Biden with highly qualified and principled national security experts who will not tolerate more irrational national security decisions.
