A prominent member of Parliament speaks in the House of Commons, deplores our “shameful” exit from Afghanistan. He suggests that Britain join with European and Asian partners, form a group to deal with world crises WITHOUT America.

Yes, Brits and Europeans disliked Trump’s style. But when pressed, they prefer Trump’s mean Tweets to Biden’s bumbling carelessness. Perhaps there is a lesson here. Perhaps substance really does trump style.

To leftists, this is a welcome development. They want to weaken America till it cannot intervene on the world stage. But to most Americans, this is intolerable. Our nation has lost respect to the point that our friends believe they need to face crises without us. What our enemies believe we will discover soon enough.
