WaPo: Biden has "long honed" foreign policy instincts

For a moment I thought this article was from the Babylon Bee, it was so absurd.

But no, The Washington Post IS trying to convince Americans that Joe Biden is a foreign policy genius of the first order. A Bismarck. A Metternich. A modern-day Churchill.

Uh, OK. Whatever you say. It’s good to know that the Russia-Saudi-Iran-China-Brazil axis against the United States was an intended result of genius foreign policy. To me, it looked like the destruction of the US dollar, the Middle East balance of power, and the inflation-fueling that comes from strangling the U.S. oil supply.

Did you see that Saudi Arabia is cutting oil production by a million barrels a day? Thanks, Joe Biden for your brilliant foreign policy decisions regarding Saudi Arabia.

Good to know this is genius in action.

Biden took office after more than 30 years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and eight more spearheading diplomatic assignments for President Barack Obama. That seasoning has led to a willingness to overrule military commanders, diplomatic experts and others, a habit that has produced notable successes and occasional missteps.

“He’s got fluency on foreign policy that gives him confidence — he knows he can win the argument,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), adding, “It allows him to act with boldness and confidence, even when a decision he’s making may be ripe for political criticism.”

This is the guy who got us out of Afghanistan so adroitly. Look how well that turned out.

Biden also handled the Chinese spy balloon so well, assuring us that it couldn’t actually gather any intelligence on the country. He has finely honed instincts so that must mean he was right about that too.

Joe Biden is so brilliant on foreign policy matters that he is perhaps the only politician in America (no, I haven’t checked, but if I am wrong the point remains) who opposed the first Gulf War, which was a necessary one, while supporting the second, which turned out to be a 20-year disaster for the country.

That takes serious foreign policy chops. The kind of chops that led him to recommend leaving Osama bin Laden hiding in Pakistan.

Long-honed instincts.

Joe Biden is, in fact, one of the worst foreign policy presidents in history. George W. Bush was awful, of course, as was Jimmy Carter. But Joe Biden is likely the president who creates the conditions that destroy the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, given his persistently horrible policies insulting Saudi Arabia.

If you think our financial system is in trouble now, wait until we no longer control the value of our currency. We are doomed, then.

Biden, of course, could be worse. He could get us into a shooting war with China–which he appears determined to do. Or even further embroil us in Ukraine by starting a shooting war with Russia, although I admit that so far he has not. Instead, he is burning all our ammunition by sending it to Ukraine without backfilling the reserves here in the US. Reserves that are vital to maintaining deterrence with China.

We are living in an alternate reality where the Establishment is determined to do everything it can to destroy this country. They defund the police, side with activists against parents, sterilize and mutilate our children, and burn the credibility of the US currency and military.

Maybe they think this is the best and fastest path to getting us to eat bugs. It’s all I can think of.
