Kamala Harris’ Foreign Policy Would Make The World More Unstable Than It Already Is
Kamala Harris’ newfound talking point is that Donald Trump is too “unstable” and “unhinged” to lead the United States at home and abroad. While laughable coming from the party that’s covered up Joe Biden’s mental decline for years, Harris’ remarks are even more absurd when one considers how “unstable” and “unhinged” the world has become under the Biden-Harris administration.
Case in point: the Taiwan Strait, where communist China launched a day-long military exercise on Monday simulating a blockade of the island nation. According to U.S. Naval Institute News, Taiwan’s defense ministry reported that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command “ordered 125 sorties by aircraft, helicopters and drones near the island.”
The operation followed a speech by Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te on Taiwan’s National Day last week. In his remarks, the president noted that Taiwan and China’s respective governments “are not subordinate to each other” and that the latter “has no right to represent Taiwan.”
China dispatched a record 153 military aircraft near the island on Monday and Tuesday.
While certainly alarming, the latest disturbance in the Taiwan Strait is no longer an anomaly. Rather, it’s a microcosm of the chaos enveloping the globe as a result of the Biden-Harris administration’s reckless foreign policy.
Through a combination of horrific decision-making and sheer weakness, Biden, Harris, and their merry band of nincompoops have turned U.S. foreign policy on its head. America is no longer respected or feared by its greatest adversaries, and the growing conflicts orchestrated by these powers are further proof of this.
Four Years of Chaos
While Democrats have brushed aside Biden’s ailing mental facilities for years, the image of a leaderless U.S. controlled by an unelected cabal of incompetent bureaucrats has produced its consequences. In nearly every corner of the world, America’s biggest adversaries have taken advantage of our unfortunate situation to advance their own interests.
In addition to increasing its military activity around Taiwan, China has also ramped up its aggression toward U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific since Biden and Harris took office.
The communist nation has expanded its military and coast guard operations throughout the South China Sea, attacking Filipino vessels and asserting territorial dominance over the disputed region. Beijing has also deployed military assets into Japanese waters and air space, while Chinese fishing vessels have been caught violating South Korea’s maritime territory.
A little further north, “Little Rocket Man” has called off peace talks between North and South Korea and enhanced relations with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Pyongyang has also taken the liberty of increasing ballistic missile tests and growing the regime’s nuclear arsenal, much to Seoul’s dismay.

Meanwhile, Moscow has been engaged in a years-long offensive against Ukraine. During this time, Russia has grown bilateral ties with China in an effort to usher in a new “multipolar world order” devoid of U.S. leadership.
And who could forget the Middle East, a region under relative peace during the Trump administration that is now on the cusp of a potential region-wide war between Israel and Iran?
What Does Kamala Think?
So, how, you may ask, would a President Kamala Harris approach these problems?
While noticeably “mum” on many foreign policy issues, her campaign website includes unspecific platitudes about “stand[ing] up” against aggressive powers and working with our allies toward common interests. She’s also tried to play both sides of the Iran-Israel conflict, regularly saying she supports Israel’s “ability to defend itself” while at the same time catering to Hamas-supporting leftists by dishonestly portraying the Jewish state’s offensive in Gaza.
But these positions are similar if not identical to those the Biden-Harris administration has practiced and preached for the past four years — and look where that’s gotten us.
America Can’t Afford ‘Biden 2.0’ Foreign Policy
The reality is that Harris lacks the skill and capability necessary to lead the United States. Much like her floundering boss, she’s a weak, ineffective politico whose foreign policy would be orchestrated by the same Marxist ideologues spearheading the current administration’s failed foreign policy agenda.
There’s no reason to believe the geopolitical issues breaking out now under Biden-Harris would be fixed by a Harris-Walz administration. If anything, they’d likely get exponentially worse.
A vote for Harris this November isn’t just an endorsement of higher gas and grocery prices, an open border, and sky-high mortgage rates. It’s a vote for a more dangerous global security environment that jeopardizes the lives of U.S. service members, empowers our adversaries, and places our nation and allies at needless risk.
This country can’t afford another four years of Democrat foreign policy. And that’s exactly what we’ll get with a President Kamala Harris.
