It\u2019s heartbreaking as a citizen of this country, but as somebody who has stakes in the game, it\u2019s completely unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins explained that Biden created an international gap that Russia, China, and Iran were able to step into \u2014 which the country is seeing now.\u00a0Russia escalated its invasion of Ukraine, and China has attempted to use the Ukraine invasion to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2022\/03\/02\/carney-russia-got-canceled-and-china-got-the-benefit\/\">extend<\/a> its economic influence on both sides of the war, while\u00a0Iran might be getting another nuclear deal. In fact,\u00a0China has even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/07\/05\/ukraine-inks-infrastructure-deal-china-after-biden-snubs-zelensky-putin\/\">inked<\/a> an infrastructure deal with\u00a0Ukraine, surely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrinform.net\/rubric-polytics\/3430195-china-will-never-attack-ukraine-ambassador-assures.html\">protecting<\/a> them from any Chinese invasion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhen America leads with courage, honor, and strength, it\u2019s peace through strength. When you project power and strength, you keep all things in balance \u2026 It\u2019s that simple,\u201d\u00a0Collins said, hitting Biden. He further said that Biden \u201chas been on his heels, kowtowing down to the Taliban in Afghanistan, asking them for permission to get our people out. And you see that happen on the world stage still,\u201d which led the\u00a0Special Forces veteran to say, \u201cWe don\u2019t need U.S. troops on the ground\u201d in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look back to where our founding fathers started this country, it\u2019s a republic, government of the people, by the people and for the people, ultimately, you know, we the people have to be involved in what we\u2019re doing,\u201d he explained as part of the reason he decided to run. \u201cWhen I stood back, and I watched what was going on. I just wasn\u2019t happy, [not] satisfied with where many of our politicians are taking us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t solve problems by printing more money, you can\u2019t continue to alienate our brave men and women in law enforcement, and you can\u2019t abandon our border, all very simple concepts. And it really came down to the fact that I believe that we have a voice,\u201d he said about the current state of politics in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the United States of America, we\u2019re the leaders of the free world, the world remembers who we are, it\u2019s kind of we, the people of the United States stand up and remind our elected officials who we are as a nation, that we want our border secure, that we want to balance our budgets, that we don\u2019t accept more taxes,\u201d Collins continued. \u201cAnd in the end, this is our country. We make the decisions. We elect the people who administer those. And if you\u2019re not going to make the right decisions, you will get voted out of power by the American people. And that\u2019s what we have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quickly going into the midterm elections, he said, \u201cIf you can solve a problem, you have an inherent responsibility to solve that problem.\u201d He also noted, \u201cI believe that we can solve this, I believe that our team can flip this seat and I believe that ultimately, this nation, this concept, unlike any other government in the annals of history is worth fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><em>Breitbart News Daily broadcasts live on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News.
