Biden’s speech represents the death knell of the Trump slogan: “Make America Great Again,” and a dismissal of the concerns of American patriots.
America First policies translated to opposition to communism and Islamization — two totalitarian ideologies which constitute the red-green axis. Now both are being facilitated by the EU and Biden. Biden’s formal declaration of unity before the G7 is a day of celebration of like minds that are set toward a “Global Reset.”
Meanwhile, on another front the red-green axis was strengthened again: China and Arab states have adopted the Amman Declaration to deepen cooperation, and establish a “shared future in the new era.”
“Europe applauds Biden’s approach, stresses cooperation,” by David Rising, Associated Press, February 20, 2021:
BERLIN (AP) — Collective sighs of relief could be heard from many European capitals Saturday after U.S. President Joe Biden made clear in his first major foreign policy address since taking office that he rejected the “America First” and transactional approach of his predecessor and urged cooperation among Western allies.
At the same time, politicians and observers cautioned that some of the sources of tension from Donald Trump’s presidency remained and that the allies have serious work ahead of them, once Biden’s honeymoon is over.
“Biden gave exactly the speech that many Europeans wanted to hear – an America that pats you on the shoulders, that doesn’t criticize or demand,” wrote Germany’s influential Der Spiegel magazine after Biden on Friday became the first American president to appear at the Munich Security Conference, albeit in virtual form.
“Will it stay that way? For the moment, it was certainly the right message: It was primarily intended to patch up the injuries of the Trump years,” the magazine said in an analysis.
The annual Munich Security Conference has long been heralded as a gathering where world leaders are able to share and debate ideas in an informal setting.
Biden’s speech highlighted the condensed agenda for this year’s conference, which was held online due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In his keynote address, Biden assured other participants, including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, that the United States was “determined to reengage with Europe, to consult with you, to earn back our position of trusted leadership.”
Over the last four years, the NATO alliance was shaken by Trump’s questioning of its relevance and his suggestion that the United States might not come to the aid of members who failed to meet pledges to commit 2% of gross domestic product to defense spending.
But Biden made no mention of Washington’s opposition to the Germany-Russia joint Nord Stream 2 pipeline project and steered away from criticizing Germany and others for failing to meet NATO defense spending goals. Instead, he emphasized Washington’s commitment to Article 5 of the NATO founding treaty, which states that an attack on one alliance member is considered an attack on all.
It is now important for Germany and the rest of Europe to seize upon the renewed U.S. willingness to engage in dialogue and work hard toward resolving areas of disagreement, said Juergen Hardt, the foreign policy spokesman for Merkel’s parliamentary group.
“With his speech, Joe Biden reached out to Europe,” Hardt said….

Dementia Biden cedes to Barbaric Totalitarian Ideologies. A Traitor to all Democratic Civilisations.

Liar. Globalism and patriotism are opposed to each other. Biden said, months ago that he would put American products and jobs first but he was lying for election purposes and the gullible and disadvantaged fell for it. Beijing Bribed-en betrayed the voters, because he doesn’t work for the little people … Bribed-en works for the elites and oligarchs.
Increasingly, it is apparent that Bribed-en has no ethics but opportunism.

The tempo of jihad attacks against Americans will now increase. The jihadists will attack Americans anywhere and anytime. Be ready.

Leftists and Islamists all around the world are rejoicing and celebrating as the destruction of the last bastion of hope for the preservation of Western Civilization i.e. the USA is now being accelarated by the Leftists and Islamists living within the USA and now together with the help of Leftists and Islamists outside the USA have deceitfully taken full charge of it by massively rigging the 2020 US general election.

A real US President would put , as it is said “America First” Nevertheless the that awful man who is a vote stealing election fraud bogus president now occupying the White House in his treasonous unAmerican spirit will not look after the interest and advancement of the United States of America.
An actural genuine ,competent Chief Executive would have and be promoting national and international polices for the betterment of the USA .
Joe Biden should be impeached and the only reason that terrible socialist Biden should not be removed from Office is because evil old Joe would then be replaced in the Oval Office by that Communist, Harris.
As this is within the keeping with the idea “That it’s wise to have the lesser of the two evils.”
Nevertheless it’s also true that “The lesser of the two evils is still evil.”

The Biden and Harris are the literal personification and embodiment phenomenon known as the “Red/Green Alliance.”

reporting and media coverage of Trump (even of Melania) in Europe and Canada was just obscene. It was one aligned slander. When Trump became president, I had not been that informed about politics. But I kept thinking to myself: “That fella must be doing something right for being hated like this…” …by all the people that were hating and damaging Europe.
James Lincoln says
Yes Chrissie01.
Pres. Trump was constantly attracting flack – for being over the right targets…

Like an old, mentally deficient spinster aunt being asked for some money for a new pair of shoes by a gang-member nephew, who really will spend the dough on a new switch-blade,
“Why, here you are, hon. Anything I can do to help? What’s that? I have bad breath? Must be my old, worn-out dentures. What’s that? Okay, hon, I won’t talk any more. Just take what you need from my purse. Thanks, hon.”

And why not biden his crackhead son and his extended family already got theirs. DC has theirs but the rest of us are screwed. Government of DC, by DC, for DC, is what so many servicemen sacrificed their lives for. The catastrophic damage to the economy as a result of the wuhan virus that came out of a lab that DC funded is not yet completely apparent. If the USA were to rebound the Chinese have a plan to stop that in its tracks any time they feel the need.
Whenever you encounter biden voters never forget that they voted for the screw you presidency so it can screw you. These crazies have set in motion the destruction of America but as with democrats they always find someone else to blame. That’s what democrats in leadership do, they try to pin the blame on someone or something else for even their smallest action.
Lincoln said , “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth” and the adversary party of that time has risen from the ashes to destroy America. Lincoln was right when he said, “A house divided against itself, cannot stand.” Slavery as was practiced is gone but now all the American people have become slaves to the rest of the world. Some people, some parties and philosophies, just don’t change, ever.
James Lincoln says
tgusa,
Under Biden/Harris, we got a twofer – and no longer have:
1. “that government of the people, by the people, for the people…” (Lincoln)
2. And our house is divided…

Biden gives ‘exactly the speech that many Europeans wanted to hear,’ rejects ‘America First’ policies
…………..
Just appalling–but Biden has made it *aboundantly* clear that he rejects America and her values.
But Europeans are also gravely mistaken if they think that this means that he is apt to defend closely related European values or Europe herself–or any other part of the civilized .West.
He is more apt, as he has shown so far, to pander to Iran and the “Palestinians”.
Walter Sieruk says
President pretender Biden is a catastrophe and calamity for America and a disaster and tragedy for the American people.
