As fate would have it, the 79th anniversary of the formal Japanese surrender in World War II came on the same day that Joe Biden all but encouraged Hamas to keep fighting and holding hostages in Gaza.
The contrast suggests that had Biden been president back then instead of Harry Truman, America would have lost the Second World War.
Truman boldly led the free world to total victory, while Biden is an appeaser from head to toe.
He is a modern incarnation of Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister so desperate for peace that he convinced himself Adolf Hitler wanted the same thing.
Although Biden fancies himself a student of history, he has failed to learn its most important lesson about dealing with tyrants and terrorists.
The signature moment of his terrible tenure, the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, helped spark wars in Europe and the Mideast and heightened tensions in Asia.
Our adversaries see him as a soft touch, and who can say they are wrong?
