Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Monday on MSNBC’s “All In” that President Joe Biden has been playing such a “strong hand” during the Russian invasion of Ukraine it has caused China to “step back.”
Hayes said, “How do you see the developments today, Jake Sullivan, seven-hour meeting, the U.S. being quite vocal about his concerns about China, and China aligning with Russia. How do you assess this?”
Murphy said, “I think a lot of people scratch their heads a bit in the early days of this conflict, in the weeks leading up to it, asking why President Biden was not acting unilaterally without Europe. The reason for that is, first, he just believes that it would be the strongest response to Russia these economic sanctions together. But because President Biden has been around long enough to know that the Chinese didn’t listen to you if you are speaking only for your own country, but they listened too is multilateral consequences.”
He added, “So we can take a strong position with China right now, because if they do decide to get some military deal with the Russians to resupply what they have lost on the battlefield, it is now not the United States that’s going to hand consequences to China, it’s the United States and an unprecedented array of allies that have been put in place by the president. So you are right, these are tough words to China, but this president, President Biden is playing a pretty strong hand right now. I think that that has cause of the Chinese to step back and do an assessment of whether this is in their best interest to stay allied with Russia on this increasingly disastrous invasion.

It takes incredible courage, poise, and testicular fortitude to look at a world in crisis, with wars breaking out, economies unravelling, markets dislocating, and the real prospect of famines and nuclear war looming, and facing it all, taking it all in, and then heroically having a pudding pop, mightily calling a lid for the rest of the week, and heading to bed.
By taking an Americentric view, the big picture is obscurred
There is a great force composed of perhaps ten nations that have or are providing naval and other forces to oppose a China takeover of Taiwan. The US Navy is heavily involved.
In brief........ it is not up to Biden
hahahahaha.
They’ve all become Baghdad Bob apple bobbers.
A stand up comic he is.
They may have stepped back, but it was only because Biden dumped in his pants....
ROTFLMAO!!!
Bingo
Alternative Universe. I’m sure Biden bribed them somehow. Probably green lit takeover of Taiwan
“Dem Sen. Murphy: Biden’s ‘Strong Hand’ Is Causing China to ‘Step Back’”
Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
A “strong hand” by an administration that abandoned billions in military equipment in the Afghanistan rout? An administration with a Secretary of Defense who’s so terrified of COVID that he wears one of those ridiculous plastic face shields?
Sure, until the first Russian nuke drops……
That sounds right, if the alternative explanation that he is in bed with them and beholden to them doesn’t hold water (I think it does)
I am very amused by news stories that assert the ridiculous idea that Brandon knows what he’s doing or even that he is cognizant to any degree.We see his mind failing when he’s in public; imagine how he is in private.
This is the biggest wag the dog operation ever.
Biden has some strong FARTS-—but NEVER a strong hand.
His grasp of illicit $$$$$ continues.
LIEberals are DELUSIONAL!
Typical delusional Democrat...Biden has done sh*t to make things better...he has been dragged, kicking and screaming into ANY action by other nations.
WHAT A MAROON!
