"Um fraco rei faz fraca a forte gente" (A soft king makes a valiant people soft). Nós sabemo-lo, pelo menos, desde que Luis de Camões o escreveu. Os nossos amigos americanos descobrem-no agora e da pior maneira com Joe Biden. Um Joe Biden que tenta tapar o sol com uma peneira de mentiras e é desmentido, na praça pública, até pela normalmente silenciosa CIA!
Sobre as várias desculpas inventadas por Biden, diz Kori Schake, na insuspeita Foreign Affairs:
"None of those things are true—and Biden knows it. His cynical defense of a failed policy and its inept execution are only adding to the damage caused by this catastrophe. (...) But none of that reduces the unnecessary damage that Biden has inflicted on Afghans, on U.S. allies, on his own broader foreign policy agenda, and on American power. The Biden team made costly choices and is counting on public apathy to prevent any political blowback at home, even calculating that the horrifying images of Afghans desperate to flee the country will eventually benefit the president politically. Reputations matter in international politics, and the Biden administration has just earned a bad one."
Em síntese, após Biden, God bless América... que bem o precisa!
