Warning China about providing material support to Russia for its Ukraine War, 80-year-old President Joe Biden and 60-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken pushed the two communist nuclear-armed superpower in a closer alliance. Russia and China always showed common ground because of their Marxist-Leninist roots but, more recent, Biden has pushed the two countries into a strategic and military alliance. Since taking office Jan. 20, 2021, Biden has alienated Russia and China, now part of bloody proxy war, paying Ukraine billions to fight the Kremlin in Ukraine. Biden and his national security team alienated Russia and China, but, more recently, find themselves with little clout with Russia and China, now joined in a strategic and military alliance. China agrees with Russia that the U.S. continues to infringe on Russian national security in Eastern Europe.
Threatening China with unspecified sanctions with they materially support Russia in Ukraine drew a strong rebuke from senior Chinese Diplomat Wang Yi, telling Washington to mind its own business. Yi said China will not allow the U.S. to dictate what it does with any ally, especially the Russian Federation. Where Biden and Blinken think they can threaten China is anyone’s guess. Speaking in Moscow today with talks with Wang Yi, 70-year-old President Vladimr Putin hailed his relationship with Beijing. Putin said he expects to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Kremlin sometime soon. Now out of the loop, the White House can only express sour grapes why they no longer have clout with Moscow and Beijing. It certainly doesn’t help U.S. foreign policy when the White House funds a blood proxy war against the Kremlin. Ending the Ukraine War should be Biden’s highest priority.
Speaking in Moscow today, Putin praised the importance of global relations between Beijing and Moscow. “In this context, cooperation between Republic of China and the Russian Federation on the global arena is particularly important for stabilizing the international situation,” Putin said in a veiled slap to the White House. Biden and his national security team has burnt most bridges between Russia and China, leaving the U.S. isolated like never before. Biden touts his relations with the European allies but the U.S. has always had strong ties to Europe. Where the U.S. benefited in the past was enjoying decades of cooperative relations with Russia and China, that is, until Biden took office, Calling Putin a “soulless killer” March 18, 2021, Biden started on the wrong foot.. Now Biden finds himself locking horns with the Kremlin under the fake narrative that Ukraine defends democracy on the European Continent.
Biden and Zelensky have tried to sell the European Union on the idea that Ukraine seeks to defend democracy on the European Continent. How anyone believes that war-torn, bankrupt Ukraine defends European democracy is anyone’s guess. EU officials know that they pay dues to NATO to defend democracy from any possible adversary. Yet Biden and Zelensky continue spew rubbish about Ukraine defending Western democracies from Putin’s Ukraine War. “Ours has continued to develop dynamically and despite high turbulence in the global arena, we have shown the readiness to speak in defense of each other’s interests,” Wang said at the Kremlin today. Wang reminds the U.S. that Biden has paid a costly price alienating China, no longer trusting U.S. foreign policy. When Biden said he’d commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan, all trust was gone.
White House officials have no one to blame but themselves for the amateurish way they’ve conducted U.S. foreign policy. No one told Biden or his national security team to trash decades-old relations with Russia and China. Whatever China does to support in Moscow ally is entirely China’s business. Brussels must also decide for itself whether a reckless White House foreign policy is something it wants to follow. Whether admitted to or not, former President Donald Trump maintained health relations with China and Russia, despite obvious differences. Trump said recently that if he were president the Ukraine War would have never happened. Trump would not have unilaterally armed Ukraine, no matter what the reason. His relations with Putin would have prevented the Ukraine War.
Instead of applauding all the rubbish at Biden’s partisan State of the Union speech, bipartisan members of Congress must concede, no matter how much they despise Putin, the mess Biden has made of U.S. national security. Without healthy relations with Russia and China, the U .S. has far less clout in global foreign policy. Wang is 100% right that Russia and China work globally to deal with turbulent foreign policy. Isolated more than ever except with the EU, Biden put the U.S. on a dangerous limb. Ending the Ukraine War is the only way Biden can begin to slowly mend fences with Russia and China. As it stands now, Russia and China has strengthened their alliance to defend against U.S. encroachment in Eastern Europe and the Pacific Rim. Judging by Wang’s close ties to Moscow, the two communist nuclear superpowers would defend each other’s interests against U.S. intervention.
