Biden's Anticipated Foreign Policy

[Steve R.]

Should Biden prevail as the next President, what would a Biden foreign policy look-like? I had been planning to make a post along those lines, but the cartoonist (Hunter) below beat me to it. Missing from that cartoon is a reference to Iran. I expect that Biden will be proposing "reconciliation" with Iran, but will be conveniently silent concerning Iran's continued nuclear weapons development program.

He'd happily kiss Russia good-bye too if China decided it wants parts of Siberia back. Obama just turned away when Russia took Crimea from Ukraine.

Taiwan and Israel will get the "cold shoulder" from a Biden administration. Hong Kong, a special case as a former colony, will also get an equivalent "cold shoulder" as China continues to "absorb" Hong Kong.

Under Obama, the US "endorsed" the anti-Americanism and anti-Semitic overtures of the UN. Hillary Clinton's name is being floated as a possible ambassador to the UN. I would expect that she would not push-back when the UN proposes anti-American and anti-Semitic policies.

Biden secretary of state pick Blinken opposed terrorist label for Iran's Revolutionary Guard

The significance of the story, is not in the headline; but its implications.

The Guardian on Monday reported that the U.K., France and Germany have met to discuss a joint approach with the incoming administration on reviving the troubled deal.

Logan Act violation. Actually, I have no trouble with those working on behalf of Biden, should he assume office, in talking with other foreign leaders. But this also points to the Democrats using the Logan Act to persecute Michael Flynn. The Democrats have no shame when it comes to political persecution of the opposition. Additionally, John Kerry while a private citizen met with Iranian leaders to discuss US foreign policy while Trump was President.

Biden has pledged to reenter the Iran nuclear deal

That deal does and will allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. It should be noted, that Trump by pulling-out of this highly flawed private agreement between Obama and Iran, that Iran would be free (today) to develop a nuclear weapon anyway. It would seem that reentering the Iran private nuclear deal would simply be an exercise in appeasement.

Antony Blinken, President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for secretary of state, opposed designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) a foreign terrorist organization out of fears it would lead to blowback -- a potential sign of the softer stance a Biden administration is expected to take toward Iran.

I would appear, based on past performance, that terms such as "radical Islam" will once again be aggressively suppressed from the lexicon. Radical Islamist will be viewed as misunderstood and oppressed persons in need of assistance and understanding. The fact that they are "attacking" the US will be interpreted as "mostly peaceful protest". Anyone disputing that mantra will be declared a hateful Islamophobe.

To look at how they will treat terrorism-to-gain-attention in general, only need to look at how they've treated domestic terrorists all summer long.
Total appeasement. I'm not sure the proper policy is zero appeasement ever, but still ...

 

[Steve R.]

Another troubling headline (not the headline but the implications): U.S. intel officer's visit shatters another Taiwan taboo
Will Biden, should he assume office, sell-out Taiwan to appease China for all of Trumps "evils"?
That well may happen.
That reminds me, the US has unfortunately been quite silent on demanding that China withdraw from Tibet.

My apologies in advance. Biden campaigned on a policy of restoring US normalcy, rationality, and US integrity on the world stage after Trump's alleged chaotic America First policies. Well, it seems that Biden, this past week, has created a flurry of foreign policy gaffes that belay any claim that Biden even knows what he is doing on the world stage.

As a preliminary to my main point, Biden called Putin a "killer", thereby aggravating Russian. Russia reacts angrily after Biden calls Putin a 'killer'. Whether you consider Putin to be a "killer" or not, is not the point. Biden has made an "unforced error" that is resulting in increased international tension. Recently, the fake friend of the US, Turkey's President, Tayyip Erdogan came out in support of Putin. Choosing sides: Turkey joins Russia in condemning Biden's 'killer' comment. Another negative point against the US. Also recall that Biden's cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline aggravated Justin Trudeau. It also appears that Biden's immigration policies were not received well by the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Now it is still early in the Biden Administration, but he was previously the vice-President and was also a US Senator, so there is little excuse for creating these little aggrivating incidents leading to increased international tension.

My main point revolves the recent China/US meeting in Anchorage, AK. US and China spar at outset of first meeting in Alaska. That meeting did not go well. China uses Black Lives Matter to embarrass Biden Administration. The Chinese just publicly exposed, on the international stage, the deep hypocrisy of the Democratic mantra, supported by Biden, that the US is a racist, corrupt, country, under the control of White Supremacists. Please note, this is not a defense of China, what it represents is that the Chinese are regurgitating the vile Democratic racist mantra back at us. Biden is not restoring US normalcy, rationality, and US integrity to the world stage. Consequently, you may see other world leaders such as North Korea's, Kim Jong-un and Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who may themselves start spewing the Democrat's vile racist mantra at the US. The Democrats may well have been successful in the US for creating the "cancel culture" and spreading hate, but they should have thought of the consequence that would create on the world stage. For all of Biden's years as one of our supposed top "leaders" Biden appears blindly driving down a road that will lead to increased international tensions.

Tucker: Beijing using Black Lives Matter as a weapon against us

This has been a bad week for uncle joe.

 

[Steve R.]

The US cannot sell itself as a morally superior country when the Democrats, including Biden, vilify the US as a toxic morally corrupt reprehensible country. The Chinese will be "eating our lunch" on the international stage. The Chinese will not be afraid to condemn the US based on the vile narratives of left wing organizations such as the racist Black Lives Matter. The Chineese may soon be publishing propaganda of poor children in abysmal living conditions being thrown into "cages" on the US border. The left wing media didn't wast any time in making fake very public accusations to inflame racial discord through: Judy Chu blames Trump for rising anti-Asian hate after Atlanta shooting. The response by Tucker Carlson to this false inflammatory reporting: Tucker: Democrats are using Atlanta massacre to inflame racial tension. This continued self-destruction in the US will make a mockery of Biden's campaign assertions that he will be restoring US honor on the international stage. The world is watching.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken tries to lecture China on human rights.

Blinken opened his remarks by saying Beijing needed to return to a rules-based system, lambasting China for violating international norms through their crackdown on Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang, cyber attacks against the U.S. and “economic coercion.”

China’s Yang Jiechi replied with.

"China is firmly opposed to U.S. interference in China's internal affairs. We have expressed our staunch opposition to such interference, and we will take firm actions in response of human rights. We hope that the United States will do better on human rights,” he said, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. “China has made steady progress in human rights."

You can't falsely claim that America has systemic racism problems in order to keep your party in power, then be surprised when they quote your own wokeness, The left doesn't get it.

The "left" seem totally oblivious to: 1) That their inflamatory false smearing and accusations can somehow come back to haunt them later, and 2) that there is a video record were their hypocrisy can be publicly exposed. Unfortunately, given this moment in time, the malignant hysteria of "cancel culture" ( the newly re-imagined McCarthyism and "Red Scare") rules supreme and the gullible public is in la-la land.

For now, who knows how long we will be able to see opposing views.

This past week has been horrendous week towards the Biden administration on a variety of issues. Here I focus on foreign affairs. Once again, another different perspective has emerged concerning how China has effectively tossed the claims of "systemic racism" promulgated by the Biden administration back into face of the Biden administration. By adopting the false narrative of pervasive systemic racism by the woke left to tear down American culture, the Biden administration has lost any ethical integrity on the world stage. It is incomprehensible that Biden had the chutzpah to assert that the Trump administration's foreign policy was out of touch with world norms and that he would restore US honor on the world stage. Instead of restoring US honor, Biden has opened up the US to accusations by China, maybe others in the near future, to being the ones out of touch with world norms and should be condemned. The Biden adminstration is "reaping what they sowed".

I was pretty impressed by Putin's response. It was like a scene out of some antebellum movie where the insulted man hits the offender in the face with his gloves and challenges him to pistols at dawn. Putin doesn't need a pistol. He just needs to get Biden to show up and Biden wouldn't last 5 minutes. We'd do better if he sent his "second", President Harris as he sometimes calls her. She might make it 6 minutes

Biden's unnecessary adversarial "killer" accusation and Putin's rationale response reminded me of one of my anti-Biden sub-themes. Biden is a bully, therefore as a supposed world leader Biden is dangerous. Biden may well misjudge any interactions, especially considering Biden's apparent cognitive challenges.

Putin is a tough guy (Type A male), he won't take any guff from Biden (who mistakenly believes he is a Type A male). Assuming that Putin (or any other world leader) won't back down, Biden may use military force. We've already had five years of the Democrats projecting Russia as the evil bogyman. The Democrats, someday, may be "forced' to act against Russia, the bogyman, to detract from some, as yet unspecified, domestic crises in the US.

 

[Pat Hartman]

Yep. That's the scary part. Trump had the situation well in hand. It takes one to know one, so to speak. Biden is completely clueless. He thinks he actually got elected Oh, no wait, he thinks Kamala got elected

Only an idiot calls out someone with nukes pointed at him.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Biden spends 90 million on hotel rooms after he dismantles Trump's immigration policies.

 

[Pat Hartman]

He's also giving illegals direct payments in the "covid" bill. How they determine who to give the payments to is beyond me. Then there's the cash payments to incarcerated criminals.

 

[FrankRuperto]

... and you all thought Biden was an appeasing little lamb when it comes to foreign and domestic policy. There's going to be zero-tolerance with domestic terrorists. That's a broad category. Next uprising by any of you Trumpers is going to go really bad for you.
