Please. No more trips overseas for Joe Biden

One obvious downside to having an old and feeble president is that he is failing both mentally and physically right before our eyes. Unfortunately, he is also failing in front of the whole world. Our friends and enemies see his performance on the world stage and it ain’t good. It’s embarrassing. He presents a very weak imagine.

It’s dangerous for the leader of the free world to look weak and demented. Once again we were reminded of how inept Biden is in videos coming out of the G20 meeting hosted by India, his first stop. Jill Biden stayed home due to testing positive for COVID-19 and conveniently was at the beach house in Delaware to wait out her quarantine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping skipped the summit in New Delhi. Even in Putin’s absence, Biden failed spectacularly to unite the nations in condemnation of Russia’s war in Ukraine. The statement this year was noticeably weaker than the one coming out of last year’s summit. So, that was a big win for Mad Vlad and his pal Xi. Ukraine was not happy with this year’s results.

Group of 20 nations declined to explicitly chide Russia for the invasion, saying instead that countries “must refrain from the threat or use of force to seek territorial acquisition” and lamented “the human suffering and negative added impacts of the war.”

Although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended last year’s G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, he was not present at the New Delhi gathering.

India, which is not aligned in the war, did not invite Ukraine, despite a request from U.S. officials who argued that Ukrainian officials should have the ability at the forum to rebut Russia’s narrative about the war.

Ukraine’s foreign affairs ministry voiced disappointment on social media with the G20 statement, sharing a mockup of changes it would have liked to have seen that would have pinpointed Russia as the aggressor nation.

“We are grateful to the partners who tried to include strong wording in the text. However, in terms of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, G20 has nothing to be proud of,” ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

While clueless Biden didn’t think the weak statement was a problem and stated that the war in Ukraine was not a “wedge issue” for most of the G20, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), said that the statement was “a major departure from last year and a real slap in the face to Zelensky as they’re conducting the counteroffensive.” Joe Biden is no longer able to distinguish when countries are insulting the United States or our friends. They now do so with impunity.

Biden forged ahead with strengthening relations with Saudi Arabia, the country he once called a ‘Pariah.’

Oof.

Okay, then.

Biden has to go hat in hand to beg for oil from countries like Saudi Arabia. His top spokesperson, John Kelly, acknowledged that Biden will again take from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, already at a 40 year low, thanks to Biden’s disastrous energy policies.

I’m sure everything is fine.

Biden went on to Vietnam after he left India. He wants to strength ties with Vietnam in hopes of lessening their growing relationship with China. His press conference from Hanoi was a huge fail.

Shades of Senator John Fetterman with that last one. “Good Morning, Vietnam” is a movie , not a song, Joe.

And, what’s an appearance from Biden without him wandering off?

What a mess. Even with his note cards in front of him, he is unable to hold a train of thought and focus on the task at hand.

It was alarming to hear Biden say, “I don’t want to contain China.” Is Hunter doing deals again in China for Biden, Inc.? Rest assured that China does not see themselves as a partner with the United States on any issue. They know they are a major competitor and they play to win. Look at what China did to the rest of the world with the pandemic.

Biden’s press conference got so bad that his staff cut him off and ended it.

Who exactly is running the country? It isn’t Joe Biden.

I know that the president has to travel abroad to do his job. However, with this president, it is to our detriment. This trip has brought home the fact that the 2024 presidential election is so important that Republicans have to win. We cannot have another four-year term with Joe Biden. I’m not at all sure he will survive a second term. And, dear Lord, no, we can’t have President Kamala. Talk about a threat to democracy. Joe Biden needs to curtail any future trips overseas. It’s just too dangerous.
