Crowd: *chants fix the mic*

Trump: Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage? I get so mad, I'm up here seething. I'm working my ass off with this stupid mic.

Let’s talk about why having adults in the room matters, shall we?

In the fall of 2022, you might remember Russia accusing Ukraine of preparing to use a dirty bomb against Russian troops.

This was designed as a false flag pretext to Russia using tactical nuclear weapons.

Intelligence estimates had odds at a coin flip - 50/50 - that Russia would use low-yield nuclear weapons to keep Ukraine from retaking Kherson or threatening Crimea.

So, what did the Biden administration do?

They prevented World War 3.

SecDef Austin told Russian Defense Minister Shoigu that we knew exactly what Russia was planning, and that the consequences to crossing THAT Rubicon would be unlike anything Russia had seen.

Jake Sullivan convinced Ukraine to call the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in to inspect Ukraine nuclear facilities and publicly shoot down rumors that they were building a dirty bomb.

Then, members of the administration reached out to literally everyone: China, Israel, Turkey, India, etc. and urged them to reach out to their Russian counterparts to reiterate the point: Russia would be a complete pariah on the world stage if they followed through with this plan.

Biden got President Xi of China on the phone personally, convincing Xi to publicly address the nuclear issue and to tell Putin not to go there.

Was Putin actually going to nuke Ukraine? Obviously, it didn’t happen—and it’s hard to prove a negative—but Western intelligence agencies certainly thought it was possible.

I say all of this to remind you that experience matters. Competence matters.

Trump wants to replace career civil servants with Trump loyalists if he wins. This kind of whole of government approach to any crisis would be impossible to execute in that situation.

Vote accordingly.
