Jake Sullivan&#8217;s admission \u2064of only getting two hours of\u200d sleep a night during the Afghanistan crisis\u200c is concerning, as it suggests that \u2063he may not have been in the best\u200c state of mind to \u200cmake crucial decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Sullivan&#8217;s\u2064 recent boast about the Middle East region being quieter than it has been in two decades is not only inaccurate\u200b but also insensitive. Just days after his \u2064statement, Hamas terrorists, funded by the Biden administration, launched an attack on Israel, resulting in the deaths of \u200cinnocent civilians, including\u200d Americans.

His inability to prevent Russia&#8217;s\u2062 invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and the recent invasion in 2022 further raises questions about his effectiveness in maintaining global stability.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Sullivan is described as a workaholic, consistently operating on minimal sleep, raises concerns about the impact of sleep \u200ddeprivation on \u200chis decision-making abilities.
