UK Parliament Holds Joe Biden in Contempt and the Details Are Disturbing

The embarrassment on the world stage continues under Joe Biden. Following the total collapse of Afghanistan and while in the midst of an ongoing, dangerously chaotic evacuation, the UK Parliament has voted to hold the President of the United States in contempt. That came after several impassioned denunciations on the floor that were covered by RedState previously.
How does it feel to be respected on the world stage again?
But while it’s a travesty that things have gotten to this point, it’s the details of what went on behind the scenes that led to this that are most disturbing. Earlier in the week, NSA Jake Sullivan shocked onlookers by announcing that Biden had not spoken to any world leaders about the pullout from Afghanistan. A dereliction of duty at that level is hard to fathom, though, it’s become commonplace for a president who continues to run to Delaware instead of, you know, being president.
Following Sullivan’s jaw-dropping admission, Biden apparently did talk to UK PM Boris Johnson. Unfortunately, it took 36 hours for the president to get around to answering the call, though.
Further, the UK military was reportedly left completely in the dark about what the US was doing as far as pulling out. Timelines were not given, no preparations were made with NATO forces (which had more personnel on the ground than we did), and when the time came, pandemonium predictably broke out. Why was there no communication?

White House Walks Back Biden’s Statement About Defending Taiwan, Says He Misspoke
By Jack Posobiec | August 19, 2021

A senior Biden administration official said Thursday that American policy on Taiwan has not changed despite Joe Biden appearing to suggest the United States would defend the island if it were attacked.
In an ABC Interview, Biden grouped Taiwan in with countries that the U.S. is committed to defending.
“They are…entities we’ve made agreements with based on not a civil war they’re having on that island or in South Korea, but on an agreement where they have a unity government that, in fact, is trying to keep bad guys from doing bad things to them,” Biden said.
“We made a sacred commitment to Article 5 that if in fact anyone were to invade or take action against our NATO allies, we would respond. Same with Japan, same with South Korea, same with – Taiwan. It’s not even comparable to talk about that.”
In case you are unfamiliar, Article 5 is an agreement which states that an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all.
As reported by Reuters, a senior Biden official said the policy has not changed, however, and Biden simply misspoke.
Indeed, the U.S. is required by law to provide Taiwan with the necessary means to defend itself, but has followed a policy of “strategic ambiguity” on whether it would intervene to protect the island if there were a Chinese attack.
Bonnie Glaser, a Taiwan expert at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, called Biden’s apparent mistake “unfortunate.”
“The U.S. had an Article 5 commitment to Taiwan from 1954 to 1979. The Biden administration isn’t considering returning to that commitment, as indicated by public statements by Kurt Campbell.”

Is Taliban Joe asleep again today?
Clean up on aisle 5!
He didn’t misspoke he plain doesn’t know what the heck he is talking about.
Biden’s definitely living in the past.
Well, I got my Covid shot yesterday.
Aside from a VERY sore arm and some fatigue
today, nothing bad has happened. (Yet?)
I mean, I have not sprouted a third eye...
but am having a hard time explaining the
tail dragging on the floor behind me!
*evil grin*
LOL, I’m glad you still have your sense of humor. And very glad you only had a little fatigue. But a very sore arm doesn’t sound like fun. But now you can stay gainfully employed. So good for you, I know your patience appreciate it.
You are so cute.
Hope you don’t have any OTHER bad effects.
Weird.
And then mid-interview he forgets what they’re talking about. When he asked what was predicted.
There’s something very strange going on. I imagine we will find out later and then it will all make sense.
“Enduring 1 week of a Biden presidency seems longer”
He can do 15 years worth of damage in just a week.
Glad to know you’re OK!
😂 😈
Glad you’re doing okay.
I keep saying, with this clown things change/get worse, by the hour, NOT the day 😩
Did you watch the Monday “speech” (aka prompter reading).
First 10 mins he was pretty strong, then faded the last 20.
Like the pharms were wearing off.
As bad as Biteme is, can you even begin to imagine the chaos if that batchit crazy Piglosi was in charge?!! GOD Help us all and have mercy on us
No, I didn’t watch, would rather stick burning toothpicks in my eyes but I have seen several clips and what you say is exactly what happened.
Harris will fight tooth and nail to keep the office if she gets in.
Speaking of Nasty, have we seen hide or hair of her since her support of Biden back on Sunday??
