... deny that Washington turned out to be one of the main net beneficiaries of this conflict and made full use of the situation to consolidate its leadership positions in the Western world.
The current crisis has undoubtedly came in handy for President Joe Biden’s Administration. Russia’s special military operation immediately overshadowed the not-so-successful conclusion of the US’ own 20-year military presence in Afghanistan. It also incentivized the community of Western nations to unite once ...
... securing the only nearby buildings 130 yards away from the venue. Numerous Trump supporters notified police of the shooter’s nest ahead of the shots and no immediate action was taken to eliminate the threat. This incident raises questions on President Joe Biden's appointment of Kimberly Cheatle as the Director of the U.S. Secret Service. She is responsible for successfully executing the agency’s integrated mission of protecting key politicians and their families from harm. Prior to her appointment,...
The attempt by Biden to portray Hamas and Putin as dual threats against “Western democracy” is obviously a desperate reaction to the loss of support for the Ukraine gambit
President Biden used a nationally televised address on October 19 to make the case for an escalation of U.S. support for wars to defend “democracy.” He spoke following his return from Israel, where he bolstered Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and met with Israel’s war cabinet to demonstrate U.S. support for Netanyahu’s goal...
... Western Cohesion and World Order
The real question that should be asked is whether the West is truly fighting for democracy or hell-bent on crushing Russia and whatever it takes to purge Russian President Vladimir Putin from existence. If US President Joe Biden is asked this question, the answer is clear. For the Biden administration, Putin is the scapegoat for everything wrong in America, whether it be claims of Putin’s inflation, Putin’s gas prices, or for aiding President Trump’s win in 2016....
... of the region; Barack Obama quickly sent a special envoy for the Middle East to mediate between Israel and the Palestinian Authority; and Donald Trump, by contrast, dashed a number of traditional constants in the policies of his predecessors. It took Joe Biden’s administration a long time to realize the place of this troubled region in the U.S. grand strategy. Trump left Biden a heavy and intricate legacy, with no room for continuity or a sharp change of course on all fronts.
The continued policy ...
An open mind is required within the current acute political divide where Trump’s bellicose aggression and Biden’s seeming cognitive decline are both put on the backburner
Putting aside whatever bias we have for former President Donald Trump; let’s consider what the state of world affairs might look like today if Trump became the president in the 2020. Outcomes under a Trump administration may be hypothetical or a myriad of assumptions, however it is unique in that we can gauge President Joseph...
The revision of the sanctions policy by the new administration cannot be called a revolution. The institutional arrangement will remain unchanged
In the United States, a revision of the sanctions policy
is in full swing
. Joe Biden’s administration strives to make sanctions instruments more effective in achieving his political goals and, at the same time, reducing political and economic costs. The coordination of restrictive measures with allies is also seen as an important ...
It is unlikely that we will see any breakthroughs at the upcoming Putin-Biden summit—but despite all the difficulties, there are still signs for optimism
Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin have known each other for a long time—decades, in fact. This, however, made it no easier for them to agree to the meeting scheduled for June 16 in Geneva. The U.S.–Russia relations have seen a steady decline over the past ...
... like him. The Republican President avoided publicly criticizing his Russian counterpart and was quite generous with his compliments to him, which inevitably caused not only annoyance but pure outrage in Washington and in Trump’s own Administration. Joe Biden has known Vladimir Putin for many years; he does not set himself the task of getting the Russian leader to like him. As far as one can tell, the two politicians do not have any special liking for each other, with this more than reserved attitude ...
... into account. The upcoming elections in Iran may affect its diplomacy, which could become less amenable to compromise. In the United States, the political cycle has just begun. But the specificity of institutions remains an important factor. Even if Joe Biden with his orders cancels Donald Trump’s decisions and returns the US to the status quo, he will not be able to change a number of US laws on Iranian issues. The President will still have to regularly report to Congress and “certify” the ...
