We all knew it was coming, because three months after Biden stumbled into the Oval Office, Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, as Sen. Tom Cotton noted just before the invasion, "Sent tens of thousands of soldiers, tanks, and munitions to the Ukrainian border." In response, Biden proposed a presidential summit in Geneva, which, says Cotton, elevated "Russia in the eyes of the world" and "Allowed the image-obsessed Putin to strut on the international stage and pretend that Russia was once again an equal to the United States." Apparently, the hotline between Washington and Moscow was soon thereafter cut.
Putin recently said he hadn't spoken to Biden in two years, according to Richard Grenell, acting director of national intelligence for the Trump administration Meanwhile, innocent Ukrainians and young Russian men who "Ain't got no quarrel with them" Ukrainians are being slaughtered for no reason, and support for continued U.S. aid - now topping $113 billion - to Ukraine has cratered.
After Iran launched an unprecedented direct attack on Israel over the weekend, Biden said U.S. support was "Ironclad," only to say the very next day that Israel shouldn't retaliate.
"The strategy of the Biden administration has failed miserably. Biden is sleepwalking the U.S. into another catastrophic war in the Middle East," Fawaz Gerges, professor of International Relations and Middle Eastern Politics at the London School of Economics told NBC News.
"His overarching goal of preventing the war in Gaza from escalating into neighboring countries has failed. Biden has failed to influence Netanyahu's decisions either in Gaza or toward Iran." And when thinking about terrorism and the Middle East, never forget that Biden, according to Obama, "Weighed in against the raid" that killed Osama bin Laden.
In another region overheating during the Biden watch, Chinese President Xi Jinping, surely emboldened by events in Israel and Ukraine, is saying he wants to reunite Taiwan with mainland China, which in any language means unless Taipei surrenders, Beijing will use force to put the "Family" back together.
Biden has pledged to defend Taiwan if there were a Chinese invasion, but given his wavering support for Israel, his obvious mental impairment, the falloff in military equipment sales to Taiwan under his administration, the delays in deliveries of equipment sold during the Trump years, and his record of appeasement, it appears that Taiwan is on its own against Beijing as long as Biden is in the White House.
