A report from abroad: Knowledgeable British and Europeans not only do not think America is back, they think it has gone mad.
After three weeks in Europe and extensive discussions with dozens of well-informed and highly placed individuals from most of the principal Western European countries, including leading members of the British government, I have the unpleasant duty of reporting complete incomprehension and incredulity at what Joe Biden and his collaborators encapsulate in the peppy but misleading phrase, “We’re back.”
As one eminent elected British government official put it, “They are not back in any conventional sense of that word. We have worked closely with the Americans for many decades and we have never seen such a shambles of incompetent administration, diplomatic incoherence, and complete military ineptitude as we have seen in these nine months. We were startled by Trump, but he clearly knew what he was doing, whatever we or anyone else thought about it. This is just a disintegration of the authority of a great nation for no apparent reason.”
From the European perspective, American leadership of the West has produced excellent results and very few unpleasant surprises since the United States stepped into that role under Franklin D. Roosevelt in World War II. At that time, the entire future of Western civilization rested essentially upon the shoulders of just two men, Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, and it was the epochal good fortune of all of us that they were more than equal to their great task. The level of acuity and success of the subsequent administrations, as the competence of government of any nation must, has fluctuated. But the emphasis was on continuity, and the containment policy elaborated in the Truman Administration was generally followed through to the great bloodless victory of the West...

Those excellent results must have included the high council of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Helmut Schmidt in the 1980s that America’s manufacturing base would be crated up & shipped to off China. The influential people were not adversely affected by the distress of blue collar America, they were just fine with it. But how curious that we are just the very people most diametrically opposed to the Clown World Insane Asylum Escapees now in charge in Washington D.C
Interesting article, but Europe doesn’t have much room to talk.
Decent article but for the gullibility exhibited my Mr. Black in the above sentence.
1. The Chinese spent many years inadvertently concocting a bioweapon (with the help of Fauci)
2. The release was inadvertently timed to coincide with a US election in which the Chinese had a very big stake.
3. The Chinese then inadvertently spread it over the world by sending 1000s of passenger planes from Wuhan
4. The Chinese inadvertently bought up all of the PPE before the pandemic and raised the costs to the world.
Mr. Black inadvertently showed his naivete by buying the Chinese propaganda line.
Beat me to it.
The WuFlu is Chicom biowarfare facilitated by Fauci. Instead of punishing China and Fauci, the West punishes its own people.
Sad.
Not to worry, the dix is in.
Maranatha
‘dix’ should be ‘fix’.
My fat fingers.
Yes, they've been busy for the past decades destroying their own societies with the mass importation of millions of near-savage muslim migrants.
FROM THE ARTICLE: As one eminent elected British government official put it, “They are not back in any conventional sense of that word. We have worked closely with the Americans for many decades and we have never seen such a shambles of incompetent administration, diplomatic incoherence, and complete military ineptitude as we have seen in these nine months.

Communist UK and EU don’t like communist DC. I don’t care about the opinion of those globalist jerks who cut Trump off at the knees all they could. If they approve of a President, he sucks.
They even hated Reagan. Name a single republican president in lining memory they liked.
So WHY did/do so many Euroweenies support US Liberals ... including Joe?
Various well-informed British and Europeans told me that they found a variety of utterances by Joe Biden and his spokespeople grievously inappropriate or absurd. Most upsetting were Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ po-faced assurance that “the border is closed” while on the other half of the split-screen people were simultaneously wading or walking into the country illegally; climate czar John Kerry importuning the Chinese government to decelerate their pell-mell commissioning of new coal-fired power plants; Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s fatuous lamentation about the “lack of diversity” in the new Taliban government in Afghanistan; and White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s assertion that the administration “welcomed the competition” of Russia’s hypersonic nuclear-tipped missiles. The Internet assures a very widespread transmission of such howlers and the next time Biden or Blinken lay the egg about America being “back” and trusted, the Washington Post should dedicate its entire front page to Pinocchio.
That's what she said.
Maybe if they hadn't sneered and disdained our leaders, especially Eisenhower (who saved their bacon) and Reagan (who, with their equally scorned Thatcher, shooed the Soviets away from them), they wouldn't have found Trump so incomprehensible, undermined him through espionage and subterfuge at the highest levels, mocked him in public as well as in private, and materially aided the Soros machine's installation of Biden. Their claim to being "flummoxed" is just a huge CYA. "Who, little ol' meee?"
a shambles of
incompetent administration,
diplomatic incoherence,
and complete military ineptitude
