Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz stopped by Tuesday night’s edition of The Balance to speak with host Eric Bolling about Joe Biden’s disastrous foreign policy moves; “he’s sleepwalking us into World War III,” Gaetz says.
“The $115 billion we sent Ukraine is not enough. Now they’re talking about giving Ukraine Israel-like security status, so that we have to pay to be the block captain of Ukraine forever,” Gaetz said.
“I think one can reasonably ask the question: Has NATO expansion made us safer? I mean, has it really?” Gaetz continued. “Are we safer today than we were before NATO expanded into the Baltics and put us now on the brink of war? I mean … [Rep.] Seth Moulton [D-Mass.] and [Rep.] Steny Hoyer [D-Md.] have already said, ‘We are at war with Russia.’ That’s not exactly what we signed up for, with Sleepy Joe as the president of the United States.”
“Why would you pick Ukraine? Why not extend NATO to Russia and make it an anti-China alliance?” he said. “Are we really thinking that we’re more afraid of the broke-down tanks from Russia than the fact that China is building a secret military base on the island of Cuba, 90 miles away from the United States?
“If we had to pick Russia or Ukraine for NATO, one could reasonably make the argument that Russia probably provides more benefit long term.
“President Trump’s foreign policy was unpredictable and effective. Joe Biden’s foreign policy is paint by numbers,” Gaetz continued. “I don’t quite know yet what the ‘Biden Doctrine’ is, but I get the sense that it probably has a half-life at this point, because he’s sleepwalking us into World War III the way a dementia patient would sleepwalk into a late-night Waffle House.”
