LOS ANGELES.–President Joe Biden, 81, has driven 71-year-old President Vladimir Putin to re-up old communist alliances not seen since the height of the Cold War, all because Biden decided to join Ukraine’s war against the Kremlin. Putin said yesterday he considers arming North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un after Biden decided to arm Ukraine with lethal weapons to battle the Kremlin. Biden’s foreign policy has badly damaged U.S. national security, turning a cooperative partner in Russia into a mortal enemy, all because Biden tries to help Ukraine drive the Russian Federation out of Ukraine. Biden’s Ukraine proxy war has divided the world along certain ideological lines not seen since the Cold War. Before Ukraine, under former President Donald Trump, Russia had become a strong cooperative partner with the U.S. standing up to Islamic terrorism around the globe.
Biden’s foreign policy, backed by his 62-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 47-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, has antagonized Russia and China from Day 1, after hosting a get-to-know-you summit with Beijing in Anchorage, Alaska March 18, 2021. Blinken and Sullivan accused China of genocide against Muslim Uyghurs and human rights violations in Hong Kong, driving Beijing to reconsider its relations to the U.S. Things have only gotten worse with the U.S. Indo-China strategy of building a NATO-like coalition to undermine China’s growing power in the Pacific Rim. Putin mentioned yesterday that Biden’s foreign policy encroaches on Eastern Europe and Asia, where he attempts to undermine China’s power by turning Asian nations against Beijing. Signing a new mutual defense pact with North Korea rattled the White House.
White House officials take no responsibility for turning U.S. diplomacy on its head, ending decades of diplomacy, détente and arms control with Russia, but, equally important, pragmatic, cooperative relations with Communist China. American big business is way ahead of the administration in knowing how to get along with Beijing. Biden’s belligerent foreign policy has pushed Russia, China and North Korea into a tight security bond, trying to confront Biden’s attempts to get Putin to end his “special military operation” in Ukraine. But Putin no longer sees the Ukraine War as one between Moscow and Kiev, he sees the war as an existential struggle with the West, busy attempting to break the Russian military and topple his Kremlin government. Biden’s Defense Secretary admitted in 2022 Ramstein, Germany, that the purpose of the Ukraine War was to break the Russian military.
Biden belligerent foreign policy contrasts sharply from Trump, who did everything possible to defuse tense situations around the globe, whether it the Middle East, Asia, Africa or Eastern Europe. Trump’s attempts to get along with U.S. adversaries was met by the U.S. press as inappropriate relationships, accusing Trump of making secret deals to advance his own personal business interests. Trump turned North Korea’s Kim Jong-un’s treats of nuclear war with his unchecked atomic weapons program into a possible cooperative partner. Trump was the first and only American president to visit North Korea in a friendship gesture to defuse tensions between the two countries. Trump had plans to help improve economic development in North Korea in exchange for arms control. Under Biden the exact opposite has happened, with North Korea threatening South Korea daily.
Democrats and the U.S. press joined together to discredit Trump’s foreign policy, accusing him of inappropriate relations, not creating breakthroughs in America’s relations with past communist enemies. No what does the U.S. press say about Biden’s proxy war against the Kremlin in Ukraine, driving worst relations with Moscow than any crisis in the Cold War. Every U.S. president since the end of WW II tried to develop cooperative, pragmatic relations with the Kremlin until Biden. Biden has unilaterally ended generations of diplomacy, détente and arms control, all because he backs Ukraine’s war against Russia. “It is incredibly concerning,” said State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller, referring to the possibility of Putin arming North Korea. Miller acts like that Biden’s proxy war in Ukraine against the Kremlin has no bearing on U.S. foreign policy and national security.
White House officials act like they’re shocked, even horrified by the prospects of Moscow arming Pyongyang. “It would destabilize the Korean Peninsula, of course and potentially . . . depend on the type of weapons they proved might violate U.N. Security Council Resolutions that Russia itself has supported,” Miller said. Well, what good are Security Council Resolutions if the U.S. is in a state of war with the Russian Federation? Biden’s proxy war against the Kremlin has upended decades of cooperative, pragmatic relations, now expressing astonishment at what has happened in Biden’s first four years in office. “Obviously, it’s something we’ve taken seriously,” said National Defense Spokesman John Kirby. Kirby knows that Biden’s foreign policy has undermined the post-WW II order, where the U.S. and Russia made every effort to work together for global cooperation and world peace.
