                            AN ANXIOUS WORLD

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the State of the Union 
last night was a disconnect from the reality of Biden failures. The 
Wall Street Journal is correct. He missed the moment.
  The paper went further to describe what Biden did not say: More 
defense spending to meet the threats from autocrats? No. A new 
appreciation of the contribution of fossil fuels to American and 
European security? Not a word. A note that government spending 
contributed to the highest inflation rate in 40 years? Nope.
  I personally was disappointed that there was no mention of leaving 
Americans behind in Afghanistan, 13 patriots murdered in Kabul. And now 
Afghanistan is a safe haven for terrorists who can come across the open 
border to attack American families.
  An anxious world is looking for American leadership in a dangerous 
new era. I hope the President will change course for peace through 
strength.
  In conclusion, God bless Ukraine. God save Ukraine. Long live 
President Volodymyr Zelensky.
