In just two months in office, Joe Biden has made a mess of American foreign policy. Relations with China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Mexico, Israel, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Saudi Arabia have deteriorated greatly since President Trump left office. First, Biden opens his big mouth and says dumb things and second all the countries of the world see Biden as weak and senile. Our adversaries do not fear Biden and our friends don't trust his leadership, or the lack thereof.
China, Russia, North Korea and Iran have basically told Biden to go to hell in so many words. Talks with them have completely broken down. Israel, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Central American countries have no faith in Biden's leadership. It is amazing that so much damage can be done is so short a period of time
President Nixon used to say the world needs to believe that the President of the United States is just crazy enough to push the nuclear button for it never to be required. What the world today sees is a weak President with dementia who can't even find the nuclear button. It is actually very scary because it may cause one of our enemies to miscalculate and do something stupid like China attacking Taiwan, or Russia attacking all of Ukraine to take it back.
Biden's position on Iran will force Israel and Sunni Arab countries to attack Iran and soon to take out their nuclear capabilities. Israel can never allow Iran to get nuclear weapons with the missiles to deliver them. This could turn into a nuclear confrontation because Israel that has nuclear weapons would use them to take out hardened sites in Iran. Then, all hell will break loose in the Middle East. Israel will prevail; but it will be bloody.
Foreign policy is not bean bags. It is serious life or death stuff. Joe Biden is in way over his head. It is impossible to manage foreign policy between naps. We could be in for some very rough times ahead and more wars. Where are you President Trump?
