Hey everybody and welcome back to Cash's Corner.

So Cash, I think we need to go back to talking a little bit about some important national security issues that, you know,

basically are kind of not being talked about much now because of Omicron, because of, you know,

a lot of things that are taking, I guess, the forefront in the news cycle. So, you know,

we've talked about this before. We've talked about the, you know, withdrawal from

Afghanistan, the Taliban taking over. Now we've been hearing about the Taliban's intent to put,

what was it, 2000 suicide bombers at the, you know, Afghani embassy in Washington, D.C. in response

to a contingent of 2000 soldiers.

We also have the Iran talks, which have been ongoing.

Iran doesn't seem to have been holding fast to the terms of the deal, so to speak.

Let's jump into this.

What are things looking like in the race?

Yeah, I think generally speaking, I'm glad we're back on foreign policy. It's probably more of my bread and butter than the norm.

But, you know, a year into the Biden administration, basically we're almost exactly a year.

And you have to look back and evaluate.

Has America gotten stronger, gotten weaker? And it's diplomatic in relationships with Russia, China, Iran, Afghanistan, the Taliban, and things like that.

Those are the big relationships that you monitor and spend time and energy in.

At least we did when I was in the administration under President Trump. And I think

unfortunately the answer for us is that across the board, from a national security perspective,

our relationships with those countries are weaker. They are taking more advantage of us as

Americans, generally speaking. And when we do engage in these quote-unquote diplomatic

negotiations or talks or what have you, it's almost just theater. And there's no substance
