“Can we, as the Biden administration promises, from over the horizon deal with a terrorist threat to the U.S. homeland from inside Afghanistan?” That is the question that once uttered by Christopher Wallace of Fox News started a chain reaction that sent a video from Former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo viral across the nation. Pompeo held nothing back, lashing out immediately at the Biden-Harris regime and telling Fox’s resident RINO what things would look like if he were still Secretary of State under President Donald J. Trump. Pompeo vowed Afghanistan would learn the lesson that Qassem Soleimani learned.
If I were still the Secretary of State with a Commander in Chief like President Trump, the Taliban would have understood that there were real costs to pay if there were plots against America. Qasem Soleimani learned that lesson, and the Taliban would have learned it as well. pic.twitter.com/fgVn3QmjS9

Pompeo Lines Up Biden With Carter and Obama, Destroys All Three
According to the Fox News transcript of the interview, Pompeo was precise and made a few key points:
- Biden has shown weakness.
- “Iranian rockets landed in Israel. We’ve handed the pipeline back to the Russians”
- The Biden admin “allowed the Chinese to castigate our senior leadership in Anchorage”
- Until now when the Taliban have been allowed to “run free and wild all around Afghanistan.”
As a result, the Taliban and Al Qaeda have become emboldened by an American regime that will not impede them.
“Well, Chris, this is one of the most important questions, it depends on a couple of things. The first is the context for American security policy. So think about what’s happening. The Taliban are aggressive and they are fearless because we have an administration that has refused to adopt a deterrence model, the one that President Trump and I had, right?”
“We’ve had Iranian rockets landed in Israel. We’ve handed the pipeline back to the Russians, right? We’ve allowed the Chinese to castigate our senior leadership in Anchorage and now we’re letting the Taliban to run free and wild all around Afghanistan.
They have to understand that there’s an administration with a backbone and a seriousness to execute on the things that matter and protect and defend America.
So this gets to the larger challenge, what — what will the Taliban believe that the Americans are prepared to do if they begin to play footsie with al Qaeda or let ISIS begin to grow in Afghanistan?
If it’s like the Carter administration and the Obama administration and now what appears to be the first seven months of the Biden demonstration, the Taliban will feel free to do this. I can assure you.
Were I still the secretary of state or the commander in chief like President Trump, the Taliban would have understood that there were real costs to pay if there were plots against the United States of America from that place. Qassem Soleimani learned that lesson, and the Taliban would have learned it as well.”
Pompeo referenced President Trump’s decidedly more aggressive tactics in the middle east, such as the drone strike that killed Iranian Terrorist-General of the Quds Force Qassem Soleimani in January 2020 and the deployment of a MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) against Taliban forces in Northern Afghanistan in 2017 which set the tone for his administration’s Afghanistan policy. The Biden-Harris regime has done the opposite and unraveled in mere months the four years of good progress under Trump and Pompeo’s management.
