The title of this article is harsher on Biden then the majority article. After the harsh title the writer does a complete 180 and the very first sentence assures the reader that all though there might have been a few mistakes, there are also “many things the Biden administration has done right in managing the crisis Russia provoked over Ukraine”. However the writer must regains some favor with the radical left by bashing Trump in the last few sentences. It’s never been more apparent how much the world needs a strong leader of the free world.

Some parts of this article attempt to separate some of the Biden administration from the rest of the Democratic Party and advisors that are not “like-minded”. The article hints that surrounding himself with like-minded advisors has lead to a sort of “arrogance”. Are my eyes deceiving me or does he actually compare Biden to a Authoritarian figure? Please do not allow the Democrats and radical left leaning media to jump off the sinking ship. These individuals have helped prop up an old, frail, weak and cognitive mess as president. They bashed and have continued to bash Trump and anyone who even slightly diverted away from the radical socialistic Democratic party, we cannot allow them to walk it back now.

When individuals are so consumed with domestic policies and can’t see anything other than race and gender with in America it’s no wonder they lake the knowledge or the ability to even discuss possible successful foreign policies. This article does have the guts to point out that “debacle” that was Afghanistan.

Unfortunately Biden has shown every card in his hand and basically pointed out cards that he is not going to play. Even though the article attempts to cover for little Joey and blame the dangers the world Russia and China, Biden must accept some blame. If Biden is invulnerable to blame THEN it’s a very odd coincidence that from 2016 – 2020 we didn’t really have these issues. It’s an even BIGGER coincidence that a similar situation happened in 2014 with Crimea.

Direct Quotes:

There are many things the Biden administration has done right in managing the crisis Russia provoked over Ukraine.

Despite these successes, Russia still looks poised to invade Ukraine. Mr. Putin is still threatening to use military force, whereas President Biden is sending the message that the United States is afraid of confronting Russia militarily. Even if the United States is unwilling to fight alongside Ukrainians, it’s a big bargaining advantage for Russia if it’s telegraphing willingness to go to war and we’re ultimately reassuring it that it doesn’t need to worry about us.

The insular nature of his decision-making, including his reliance on like-minded advisers, lacks rigorous thinking and fuels a kind of arrogance that can lead to unforced errors. His casual

suggestion last month that “a minor incursion” by Russia might not draw a tough response required mopping up by the administration. It also drew a bitter rebuke from Ukraine’s president. Most egregiously, Mr. Biden let Russia know it need not fear the prospect of U.S. troops fighting to defend the sovereignty of Ukraine and postwar order, saying publicly that “there is not going to be any American forces moving into Ukraine.”

And after the humiliating debacle of abandoning Afghanistan, any threat of war made by Mr. Biden would be literally unbelievable

U.S. forces if it invades Ukraine, and we have effectively conceded to Russia a sphere of influence to prey on countries beyond NATO’s boundary.

And we might also have to deal with an even stronger Russia-and-China alliance to thwart American interests around the world. These are all unwelcome developments, which is especially why Mr. Biden needs to bring the public along to support them.

The world is growing more dangerous for American interests. That’s not Mr. Biden’s fault — it’s Vladimir Putin’s and Xi Jinping of China’s fault. They are the ones threatening their neighbors. But Mr. Biden isn’t adequately explaining to Americans what’s happening, why we should care or what we should do about it.

They have largely been mistakes of the president’s own making: loudly proclaiming to “put human

rights back at the center of our foreign policy” without actually doing so, linking “foreign policy for the middle class” with trade protectionism, failing to establish an effective international economic policy that helps reduce reliance on China and, most awfully, the decisions about Afghanistan.

My belief is that Mr. Biden’s troubles stem from arrogance that he’s right — has always been right — on issues where his recommended policies were not adopted when he was a senator or the vice president, specifically when it came to decisions over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The lack of many new perspectives within the administration not only leaves the president bereft of rigor in internal policy debates; it also means the administration isn’t prepared for inevitable criticism. This was seen when the State Department

Spokes man was clearly annoyed when a journalist pressed him for more information about its assertions about a Russian false flag operation and when the White House press secretary accused a senator of “parroting Russian talking points.” A better president would appreciate that policies are robust only when you win the political argument, not when you organize your administration to avoid them.

Authoritarian states are brittle because their leaders surround themselves with people who won’t or can’t challenge mistakes. Free societies can be slow to adopt policies but more durable in the conduct of them even when they’re costly because leaders have to win the political argument and gain support.

We should be grateful President Biden is in office during this crisis rather than President Trump, with his erratic belligerence and admiration for authoritarians that characterized his policies.
