Biden needs to learn from Carter about standing up to our adversaries
Fox News
It's hard not to see parallels between Presidents Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter. Both had a similar attitude to national defense and faced many similar adversaries. But Carter learned.
Feeling the pressure, Carter committed to grow the defense budget and announced the Carter Doctrine, which made clear the United States would use military force, if necessary, to defend its national interests in the Persian Gulf. Roger Zakheim is director of the Ronald Reagan Institute and a former general counsel on the House Armed Services Committee. He is a commissioner on the National Defense Strategy Commission.
A strong advocate of détente, Carter believed that concerns over Soviet expansionism in the Third World and its military buildup were overstated. He proposed flat and declining defense budgets and rejected the outgoing Ford administration's plans to build a 600-ship navy.
