President Biden's poor debate performance will embolden U.S. adversaries now, well before the election. You can be assured that Russia will continue and escalate its land grabs in Ukraine, Transnistria and the Republic of Georgia. That China will continue and escalate its aggression against Taiwan and the countries bordering the South China Sea. That Iran and its proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis) will continue and escalate their threats against Israel, the other countries of the Levant and Persian Gulf, as well as international shipping in the Mediterranean, Red and Arabian Seas.

Our adversaries are emboldened because they know the response from our current president will be too little and too late to effectively oppose and reverse their aggressions. The Democratic Party needs a better candidate.
