Opinion: Biden’s endless missteps have led to utter chaos around the world
NY Post ^ | April 14, 2023 | By Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 04/15/2023 4:20:20 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Why is French President Emmanuel Macron cozying up to China while trashing his oldest ally, the United States?

Why is there suddenly talk of discarding the dollar as the global currency?

Why are Japan and India shrugging that they cannot follow the United States’ lead in boycotting Russian oil?

Why is the president of Brazil traveling to China to pursue what he calls a “beautiful relationship”?

Why is Israel suddenly facing attacks from its enemies in all directions?

What happened to Turkey? Why is it threatening fellow NATO member Greece? Is it still a NATO ally, a mere neutral or a de facto enemy?

Why are there suddenly nonstop Chinese threats toward Taiwan?

Why did Saudi Arabia conclude a new pact with Iran, its former archenemy?

Why was Egypt secretly planning to send rockets to Russia to be used in Ukraine, according to leaked Pentagon papers?

Since when did the Russians talk nonstop about the potential use of a tactical nuclear weapon?

Let us answer by listing 10 ways by which America lost all deterrence:

1) Biden abruptly pulled all US troops from Afghanistan. He left behind to the Taliban hundreds of Americans and thousands of pro-American Afghans.

2) The Biden administration allowed a Chinese high-altitude spy balloon to traverse the continental United States, spying on key American military installations.

3) In March 2021, at an Anchorage, Alaska, mini-summit, Chinese diplomats unleashed a relentless barrage at their stunned and mostly silent American counterparts.

4) In June 2021, in response to Russian cyber-attacks against the United States, Biden meekly asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to at least make off-limits certain critical American infrastructure.

5) When asked what he would do if Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden replied that the reaction would depend on whether the Russians conducted a “minor incursion.”

Exactly. FJB and his crime family have not only screwed up the U.S., they have screwed up the whole world. They all need to be locked up for what they’ve done.

This is all Obama’s handiwork. Biden is just the front man placed there to take the heat.

If I recall correctly - - “elections have consequences”. Obama, the guy most likely running this rogue administration.

It’s NOT chaos..

The world is moving toward ‘smart and capable’ China and away from ‘pervert, stupid, and silly.

An example? Secretary of the Army wants electric tanks.

China is brokering deals and peace treaties around the world.

We promote based on sexual kink, color and NEPO - ‘powerful daddy’...

I wonder how many votes Biden's incompetence on the world stage will cost the Democrats in 2024. Probably not many.

For an incredible number of American voters, access to abortion is what motivates them most. To hell with freedom, prosperity, and security.

When obama was president, Rush asked the question, “If obama was intentionally trying to destroy this country, what would he be doing differently?”. This admin is doing the same things that the obama admin was doing, but this time more severely and obama gets to hide behind the scenes while Biden takes the blame.

Both the Russians and the Chinese will start working now to get Biden re-elected. Why wouldn’t they?

It was already pretty screwed up. FJB and his puppeteers have merely knocked the props out from under it.

The world is moving toward ‘smart and capable’ China and away from ‘pervert, stupid, and silly corrupt America.

An example? Secretary of the US Army wants electric tanks - and China controls electric batteries AND there aren’t any ‘charging stations’ in most war zones.

The FBI (working like the KGB) hunts down political enemies... That’s ‘reaction corruption’ based on weak incompetent paranoid leaders. The world can see this...

China is brokering deals and peace treaties around the world.

We promote government officials based on sexual kink, color and NEPO - ‘(powerful daddy’...) China promotes based on intellect, hard work, discipline and ruthlessness...

Yeah, China’s winning because they’re not stupid.

Joe Biden screwed up, yeah,but we assisted him when we failed to hit the streets when he and his purely evil minions blatantly and artlessly and desperately stole an election in plain sight. Failure has consequences.

...Secretary of the US Army wants electric tanks...

Even better, why not wind powered tanks -- with sails? Just like the old sailing ships. What could be more earth-friendly than that? This will strike utter fear in the hearts of our foes.

I cannot remember who said this or when, all I can remember about the following is that when I heard or read it, I instinctively knew it was true. It was a very long time ago:

Evil runs amok around the world when America is weak.

It's absolutely true and has been for as far back as I can remember.

Wish I could remember where I heard/read it. Don't think it was Rush Limbaugh, and unsure where. I somehow think it was during the Reagan Administration and yet again, unsure.

Hey, 81,000,000 voters can’t be wrong!

Most voted for president in history!

He’s the one we were waiting for! Lets go!

World leaders aren’t blind.

They can see Biden’s been compromised - that he’s intentionally destroying and selling out the country. If we can see it - they can see it.

The secretary of the Army wants electric tanks.. Think about that insanity....

China controls the battery market and there’s never going be a battle field that allows for 3 hour charging stations.
