“We’re back in the game,” says Joe Biden, a president who cannot take his dog for a walk without falling over it and twisting his ankle. He will lose his footing in the first foreign-policy crisis that comes along.
A SUCCESSFUL foreign policy begins at home. So does an unsuccessful one. Older readers may recall the days when American foreign policy represented a stable, shared understanding of the national interest, but American foreign policy has now polarized into two foreign policies: two sets of irreconcilable attitudes, each treating the world as a stage for the enactment of domestic partisan differences, one leg kicking away at the other.
Since 2008, Americans have launched themselves into one of their periodic recastings of their society. After Barack Obama and Donald Trump, two varieties of hope and change, just about everyone’s nerves are frayed. Domestically, the Biden-Harris administration should recognize that it was elected as a kind of half-time breather to give the public a break from politics, that it did not win in a “blue wave,” and that the right response is to encourage a national cool-out. Will it follow this course and seek to incorporate the successes of the Trump interregnum? Certainly not: the purpose of partisan government is to erase the traces of the previous regime and prevent its revival in the next elections. Will America’s rivals encourage this pause and the continuity in foreign policy that might ensue? No way. They’re winning.
He may be the big guy here, but chances are he’ll be meeting The Big Guy later this year.
Heading should read is a failure. Because he always has been and too late to change.
I don’t feel or believe Biden and Harris were elected. This column is a waste. B L Phillips
It doesn’t matter…pelosi already laid the groundwork for 25 th amendment… or he will “step down”… kamala the commie is going to be the prez… she’s even scarier than biden. Can only pray for a miracle that somehow the corrupt and stolen election is reversed. If georgia is lost, we are totally screwed. God help us.
He already HAS been a Failure & still is !!!! 47 years + is enough > GOOD -BY !!!!
It doesn’t matter we have gotten a Clown out of the White House and returned to Reagan Bush Clinton Bush Obama back too the Deep State reality that runs this Republic and not some clueless looser fake real estate Mogul that thinks he’s on TV and Twitter and pandered to the weakest minded without a card in the game. I am really surprised people take stands and sides on their hopes and beliefs only and fall for Politicians like like Saints and Movie Stars.
