Weakness and incompetence, followed by provocation. It’s a perfect storm for America on the international front, and descriptive of the Biden administration.
America is at the point of global humiliation under Biden and his woke administration. But as midterms come around, the administration is taking risks to present itself as heroic. But managing foreign affairs just isn’t Biden’s forte, and neither is domestic affairs for that matter. As though forgetting the great Afghan debacle and Iran deal mess-up, the Biden administration decided on a Pelosi visit to Taiwan to send a message. While there:
Pelosi accepted an award from the president on behalf of Congress and declared the United States’ solidarity with Taiwan “crucial.”
China declared that her planned visit to Taiwan was a provocation even before she got there.
“Everything about this tour and the possible visit to Taiwan is purely provocative,” said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov to reporters on Tuesday, before Pelosi arrived in the self-governed island.
Now Russia is backing China over any conflict with America over Taiwan. Russia has also warned Washington “that such a provocative trip would put the United States on a collision course with Beijing.” And “Chinese leader Xi Jinping warned U.S. President Joe Biden against playing with fire over Taiwan.”
The central concern now is this question: has the Biden administration given any reason for confidence that America can effectively handle it a possible conflict with China (and now Russia) over Taiwan?
In another foreign affairs incident, al-Qaeda leader Al Zawahiri was killed, ostensibly to make Biden look useful in the war on jihad terror, conveniently as midterm elections approaches. But again, there’s little reason for confidence that the Biden administration can handle any fallout from this. The State Department is warning about retaliatory attacks on American soil coming from Afghanistan, and at a time where Biden has opened wide the Southern borders.
America is a sitting duck under the incompetent Biden.
“Russia backs China over ‘provocative’ Pelosi visit to Taiwan,” by Guy Faulconbridge, Reuters, August 1, 2022:
LONDON, Aug 2 (Reuters) – Russia backed China on Tuesday over an expected visit to Taiwan by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, warning Washington that such a provocative trip would put the United States on a collision course with Beijing.

I think that under Joe Biden, a war will start w/ China and then be handed over to the GOP as they take over, so that they can be blamed for whatever happens – good or bad

Russia and China, two vicious, totally inhuman, totalitarian regimes are bound to see things the same way. I think that,right now, these two regimes see the chance to throw their weight around against the free, democratic countries of the world, which seem somewhat weakened, although things don’t seem to have gone too well in Ukraine for Putin and his scum. China definitely seems to be seeing this time as being their chance to be the big bullying superpower in the world, which the regime there has always yearned to be, which is bad news for all decent people everywhere.
