Joe Biden’s latest gaffe—referring to Angola, a sovereign nation, as a “city”—isn’t just another harmless slip-up. It’s a neon sign screaming to the world that the leader of the free world is not mentally fit to lead.
For a man who once chaired the African Subcommittee in the Senate, this wasn’t just a geographical misstep; it’s emblematic of a broader problem: the United States is being led by someone whose cognitive sharpness has become a punchline.
As a former Navy SEAL, I’ve operated in high-stakes environments where every decision matters. Leadership requires clarity of thought, sharp judgment, and the ability to inspire confidence—not just in your team but in those who look to you for security and guidance.
What we have now is the political equivalent of a hungover captain asleep at the wheel of an aircraft carrier, with the ship drifting toward Iranian waters.
This isn’t just about embarrassing gaffes. Biden’s perceived mental decline has emboldened adversaries and even allies. Nations like South Korea have grown bold in their actions, calculating that the current U.S. administration is too distracted, disorganized, or disinterested to respond decisively.
When the Oval Office resembles a nursing home rec room more than the nerve center of global leadership, the sharks in the water start circling.
Biden and his staff, complicit in the deception of the American public, have brought us to the twilight of American credibility. Imagine the meeting rooms in Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran, where strategists are replaying Biden’s greatest hits and laughing like college frat boys. “Angola, the city?” they might say, toasting with vodka or baijiu. “Next, he’ll probably think NATO is a new streaming service for war documentaries.”
But the most dangerous part of this whole fiasco isn’t just Biden’s mental state—it’s the sheer gall of career politicians like him, who’ve made a life out of lying to the public for personal gain. Remember when Biden swore up and down he’d never pardon his son? Fast forward to today, and you’d have to be living under a rock to miss the circus that is the Hunter Biden saga. Promises made on the campaign trail are as reliable as a sandcastle in a hurricane, and the Democrats wonder why they lost in a landslide. America has had enough of politics as usual.

Then there’s Biden’s staff—Washington’s twisted version of House of Cards—rushing through reckless decisions in places like the Middle East and Ukraine, trying to cram four years of foreign policy into the time it takes to pack their moving boxes. From greenlighting escalatory measures in Ukraine to quietly pushing questionable deals with Iran, this administration seems more focused on leaving a messy legacy than on ensuring stability.
It’s a dangerous game to play, especially when they know Trump will soon retake office. The rush to secure last-minute “wins” looks less like governance and more like sabotage, locking the next administration into crises that could have been avoided.
These frantic moves aren’t just undemocratic; they’re a ticking time bomb for global stability, made worse by an administration more interested in scoring political points than preserving peace.
We’re at a critical moment in history where leadership matters more than ever. The stakes couldn’t be higher, but what we have instead is a man who probably thinks DEFCON is a video game and the nuclear football is a Nerf toy.
America deserves better.
