Will Biden Abandon Taiwan?

Brandon J. Weichert in Real Clear World writes that President Joe Biden is getting ready to make a big deal on trade and the environment with China…and he just might offer up Taiwan as the sacrificial lamb.

For Biden, Failure is an Option

President Joe Biden ran as a revolutionary president who would get big things done efficiently and competently. He was the new FDR. In fact, he is appearing much more like the ineffectual John Quincy Adams to Donald Trump’s Andrew Jackson, so argues Brandon J. Weichert in his recent Asia Times op-ed.

President Biden Can Now Fire General Milley

Mark Milley is a skilled political operator. But he’s not as skilled as he thinks. Milley’s actions in the final year of the Trump Administration and his recent testimony undermining President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan exit have now created the context necessary for Milley to be removed by Biden without much fuss from the press.

Biden Bungles America’s Oldest Alliance

It has left citizens and billions of dollars of military equipment behind as the final flight departed from the Kabul Airport. This is a catastrophic failure of the Biden Administration, the US military leadership, the greedy US defense contractors, the sclerotic intel services, and the overall bipartisan elite who purport to rule us.

I’m With Stupid: How America’s Elite Betrayed the US and Inspired Our Enemies

America’s enemies (and allies) have long assumed that, because we’re the lone Superpower, we were governed by evil geniuses. They are now realizing, in fact, we are government by idiots. While it’s nice to be loved it’s good to be feared. Nothing good comes from being deemed big and dumb…which China, Russia, Iran, and our other rivals now do, thanks to the horrible debacle in Afghanistan.
