Earlier in his career, Biden appeared to grasp that America has dangerous and determined enemies who cannot be appeased. What changed his mind?
News bulletin: There is no Santa Claus, no Tooth Fairy and no “international community” committed to Western values.
Were Biden to replicate his 2021 Iraq model, the Taliban would not be able to boast that they’ve defeated the mighty United States.
Men of ice cream, men of unjust deserts.
Unless Biden responds forcefully to the latest, expect more.
Fixing everything at the United Nations that’s dysfunctional should be a priority for the Biden administration. It’s not.
Germany after World War I provides a distant mirror.
Accommodation and engagement are no solution.
If CRT becomes the new orthodoxy at West Point, in federal bureaucracies and corporate America, increased racial division, animosity and conflict will inevitably result.
The president believes that his Russian counterpart is eager to “make progress on shared goals” and avoid “a new Cold War.” C’mon, man, that’s malarkey!
But President Biden has not revised his policies in response.
There’s not much time left to mitigate the consequences.
