More about the Republican national security people for @JoeBiden:
Richard Armitage - Directed US aid to former USSR at crucial time & ignored early warnings that his strategy would help the re-named KGB turn Russia into a gangster-state.

2) Chester Crocker - As assistant secretary of state for African affairs, Crocker was the #1 Republican barrier to helping Angolan anti-Communist resistance leader Jonas Savimbi defeat the Cuban- and Soviet-backed Angolan regime and recover sovereignty from Moscow.
3) James Glassman - Begged conservative Republicans (and future MAGA people) to help him become Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, promising to correct legacy problems at State Dept. Once the Senate confirmed him, he ignored them and stabbed them in the back.
4) Chuck Hagel - RINO as a US senator who often sided with the opposition Democrats, including @JoeBiden, on key issues. Chaired Obama's Intelligence Oversight Board/President's Intelligence Advisory Board and as Obama's Secretary of Defense. No shocker that he's again with Joe.
5) I don't see a single person on this "Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden" list who was ever a strong critic of the Chinese Communist Party. A few made some insipid, toothless comments about human rights. Many were outright allies the CCP or its interests.
6) The very title of the group - "Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden" - seems to have double meaning.
They are former national security officials who served as Republicans. Are they also "former Republicans"? defendingdemocracytogether.org/national-secur…
