Flying North Korean Mig-29 floggers into the demilitarized zone [DMZ] between North and South Korea, 38-year-old North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un wanted to get Washington’s attention. Kim responded to Operation Vigilant Storm, constituting joint air force drills with some 240 South Korean and U.S. F-35 fighter jets. Gone are the days when former 76-year-old President Donald Trump was in charge where he made every effort to get along with Pyongyng. U.S. media and Democrats accused Trump of placating tyrannical dictators, accusing the U.S. president of his own fascist tendencies. Only today, on the verge of a Red Wave in the Nov. 8 Midterm elections, can the U.S. public appreciate everything Trump did to maintain world peace. How the Democrat-controlled press threatened U.S. national security by claiming Trump only appeased dictators is anyone’s guess?
Biden administrations have spent nearly two year in office destroying U.S.-Russia and U.S.-Chinese relations, currently involved in a dangerous proxy war against the Russian Federation. Never before has any U.S. president been so reckless with U.S. adversaries. When 59-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 45-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met at a get-to-know-you summit with China in Anchorage, Alaska March 18, 2021, they accused Beijing of genocide. Only a day before, 79-year-old President Joe Biden called 70-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin a “soulless killer.” Trump’s once peaceful foreign policy was morphed in less thatn two years into the most aggressive foreign policy in U.S. history. Biden deviated from established State Department norms, telling Taiwan Sept. 18 he would defend the U.S.-friendly island-nation with U.S. troops.
China has been so antagonized by Biden gaffes, 69-year-old Chinese President Xi Jinping accused the White House of violating the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, where former President Jimmy Carter ended the 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty. China has been flying fighter and sending warships into the Taiwan Strait, violating the Defense Identification Zone. Trump was tough but respectful relations with Russia, China and North Korea, going out of his way to develop the closest ties with North Korea in U.S. history. Biden now faces Kim firing off practically daily ballistic missiles into the Yellow Sea shared by North and South Korea and the Sea of Japan, where authorities ordered its citizens into shelters from Kim’s latest ballistic missile tests. Operation Vigilant Storm has once against put North Korea on a war footing with the U.S., South Korea and Japan.
So, what has the Biden White House accomplished in less than two years. War for the first time against the Russian Federation, where Biden supplies unlimited cash-and-lethal-weapons to Ukraine to fight a bloody proxy war with the Russia Federation. Biden let the world know March 26, only a moth after the Feb. 24 Ukraine War began, that he intended to get rid of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Pentagon and State Department officials did everything to walk back Biden’s gaffes, only hear 69-year-old Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin say April 26 in Ramstein, Germany that the aim of the U.S. war in Ukraine was to degrade the Russian military to the point it could no longer wage war. Biden’s proxy war with Ukraine has put the European Continent into danger of WW III and nuclear war, all because he’s backing Ukraine’s border dispute with the Russian Federation.
Kim presents new problems for the Biden White House, who’s response to Pyongyang yesterday was to threaten to annihilate Kim’s regime. What happened to the goodwill and peaceful approach to U.S. foreign policy under Trump? Judging by the U.S. press backing of the White House foreign policy, it looks like they’re pushing the U.S. to WW III and nuclear war. South Korean said it scrambled some 80 North Korean flights over the DMZ yesterday, in the most dangerous air force exercises in recent history. Instead of backing down off Vigilant Storm’s provocative military drills, the U.S. and South Korea continue the drills in the face of rapidly deteriorating relations with Pyongyang. Lauching more ICBMs and intermediate range ballistic missiles, Kim lets the U.S. and South Korea know it’s moves ahead with its nuke program, threatening both countries with possible nuclear war.
Biden has created conditions in Ukraine, China and now North Korea where the prospects of nuclear war have never been higher. Instead of turning back the doomsday clock with Russia, China and North Korea, Biden has brought the otherwise peaceful world to the brink. How far is Biden going to play this dangerous game of chicken with the world’s most dangerous nuclear-armed states? U.S. diplomacy requires the White House to get along for foreign adversaries, not push the world to the brink. Instead of working to end the Ukraine War with Russia, Biden has escalated the conflict continuing to give Kiev a black check with cash-and-weapons. Unlike Russia and China, North Korea is an unknown quantity with little to lose with its nuclear threats against the U.S. and Pacific Rim. Biden’s belligerent diplomacy has put the U.S. into the most dangerous spot in U.S. history.
