Is Joe Biden President?
During his rather uneven "60 Minutes" interview with Scott Pelley last weekend, Biden firmly and clearly announced that the United States would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion.
This was a dramatic shift from America's traditional policy of "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan, in which our response to Chinese saber-rattling over the island nation was essentially "fool around and find out."
Within hours, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and other spokesmen were loudly proclaiming US policy had not changed at all.
Bottom Line
Either Biden is president, or he is not. If he's president, then policy should come from him, and it's the job of subordinates to make that policy work. If Biden is, instead, a dotard whose pronouncements on foreign affairs should be ignored in favor of the presumably more measured statements of unelected White House apparatchiks, then the office of president is effectively vacant.
