Antony Blinken’s time as Secretary of State will be remembered for its glaring inadequacies. This isn’t hyperbole—it’s fact. Under his watch, America fumbled the ball in confronting adversaries like China and Iran.
Blinken’s “strategic patience” with China? More like strategic avoidance. Beijing doubled down on its aggressive moves in the South China Sea, expanded its surveillance operations (remember the spy balloons?), and continued its crackdown on Hong Kong, all while the U.S. issued hollow statements. Tough talk, zero action.
Iran wasn’t any better. Instead of holding Tehran accountable for its nuclear ambitions and regional terrorism, Blinken played nice.
The administration’s weak-kneed approach to reviving the nuclear deal emboldened Iran. Missile tests increased, proxies flourished, and American influence in the Middle East waned. It’s like he read the foreign policy playbook upside down.
Now, he is ending his “legacy” with a pathetic display.
From Breitbart:
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been getting mocked for reportedly holding therapy cry sessions for White House employees upset over President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris…Rep. Darell Issa (R-CA), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, openly mocked the sessions and called it “unacceptable” for the State Department to tolerate this.
Therapy Over Strategy
While the world burned, Blinken found time to host therapy sessions. Yes, you read that right—therapy for State Department employees upset about Donald Trump’s election victory over Kamala Harris.
According to reports, these “managing stress during change” sessions were taxpayer-funded group hugs for bureaucrats who couldn’t handle democracy’s twists and turns.
Emails from the State Department invited employees to discuss their feelings about the election results and learn “effective stress management techniques.”
Congressman Darrell Issa didn’t mince words, calling the sessions “unacceptable.” His argument? If government officials can’t implement the policies of a lawfully elected president, maybe they should find another line of work.
What’s even more disturbing is that these therapy sessions highlight a deeper issue within the Biden-Harris administration. Instead of focusing on America’s needs, the State Department indulged in partisan meltdowns.
Imagine hosting webinars on “coping mechanisms” while Iran funds more terrorists and China laughs all the way to the South Pacific. Priorities, right?
A Closer Look at the Fallout
These therapy sessions weren’t just tone-deaf—they were emblematic of a dysfunctional State Department under Blinken. Taxpayer dollars weren’t just spent on PowerPoint slides about “navigating uncertainty.”
They funded a culture that cared more about feelings than foreign policy. Rep. Issa put it bluntly: If foreign service officers can’t follow through on the American people’s mandate, they should pack their bags.
This tone-deafness extends beyond therapy sessions. The broader failure lies in the administration’s inability to deliver real results for Americans. Global respect for the U.S. diminished.
Allies questioned our resolve. Adversaries exploited our weaknesses. You can’t make this stuff up.
Key Takeaways
- Antony Blinken’s tenure was marked by failures with China, Iran, and global diplomacy.
- Blinken held State Department “cry” therapy sessions over Trump’s election.
- America deserves leadership that prioritizes action over excuses.
