On “Sunday Night in America,” former National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe and host Trey Gowdy reflected on another year of ineffective foreign policy by the Biden administration.
In August, Ratcliffe called the aftermath of the Afghanistan pullout “Christmas in August” for America’s rivals. His viewpoint remained unchanged after nearly a year.
“It did not take Nostradamus to predict that our opponents in Afghanistan would see not only a withdrawal but also a shocking surrender and defeat. Our adversaries observing this clearly understood that this was a new administration “Ratcliffe added.

Ratcliffe also attacked the White House’s response to China as a growing threat, despite China’s persistent aggressiveness towards Taiwan and its involvement in the coronavirus pandemic.
“Therefore, you receive the impression from President Xi that not only in the United States in decline, but we also perceive weakness in America and are inclined to concede to their demands.
I believe this is the reason why not only their activities but also their aggression in the Pacific and around the world, are intensifying “he remarked.

“What concerns me the most about the previous 18 months is that we have a national security team and infrastructure that lost in Afghanistan, was too sluggish and indecisive to deter Putin and Ukraine, is being bullied by China, and is attempting to provide a blank check to a terrorist regime in Iran,” he said.
“They were able to accomplish this in under 18 months. We have 30 months left with this team in charge of national security and national security posture “He warned.
