The chickens are coming home to roost in Syria as the Biden administration's foreign policy disasters continue to haunt America's national security. At least 120 ISIS terrorists escaped from prisons controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Monday, with only 80 recaptured so far – leaving 40 dangerous jihadists on the loose.
The Kurdish-led SDF, once heavily backed by the United States under previous administrations, is now pointing fingers at failed peace talks with Syria's transitional government for the prison break. But here's the real question: How did we get to the point where America's supposed allies can't even keep the world's most dangerous terrorists behind bars?
This latest security failure exposes the complete mess that years of nation-building and endless foreign entanglements have created in the Middle East. While American taxpayers funded these Kurdish forces for years, they're now proving incapable of handling basic security responsibilities when it matters most.
Trump Administration Inherits Another Mess
President Trump, who has consistently advocated for bringing American troops home and ending endless wars, now faces yet another crisis created by decades of failed foreign policy. The timing couldn't be worse – ISIS terrorists roaming free just as the new administration works to secure America's own borders and prioritize national security.
The SDF's excuse about "breakdown in peace talks" rings hollow when you consider their primary job was supposed to be keeping these monsters locked up. Instead, we're seeing the same pattern that's played out across the Middle East: American-backed groups that fold under pressure when the going gets tough.
"This is exactly why President Trump has been right about ending endless wars and focusing on America First," said one national security expert. "We can't rely on foreign proxies to handle threats that could eventually reach American soil."
With 40 ISIS fighters still unaccounted for, this prison break represents a clear and present danger not just to regional stability, but potentially to American interests worldwide. These aren't petty criminals – they're hardened terrorists with nothing left to lose.
The question now is whether the Trump administration will have to clean up yet another foreign policy disaster, or if our so-called Kurdish allies will step up and do the job they were supposedly equipped to handle. Either way, this latest crisis proves once again that America's security is best served by strong borders and putting American interests first.
