02:20 America’s Middle Eastern Drawdown (23 minutes)

Former U.S. President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy plunged the region into chaos: Iranian proxies rapidly gained territory and funding; strong leaders were deposed and nations descended into mob rule and civil war; America’s allies were abandoned. One Saudi official recently admitted his frustration about working with Mr. Obama, saying he “would promise something and then do the opposite.”

The Trump presidency is really just making matters worse with its cut-and-run strategy. The U.S. is pulling out of Syria and handing over control of the war-stricken state to Iran and Russia. There are also plans to negotiate a peace agreement with the Taliban—yes, the Taliban—in Afghanistan. After years of fighting, the best solution America can muster is a compromise with a terrorist organization that is sure to violate its end of the deal once America leaves. This is not how victory is defined.

I wonder what they would think of this new course offered at the educational institution bearing their names. In this segment, I talk about the Bible’s definition of true masculinity.
