“America’s ongoing internal political crisis is the single most destabilizing factor in the world today,” sbg1 writes. “And Biden knows it.”
’s new “strategic concept,” its first since 2010, speaks of Russia as “the most significant and direct threat” to the alliance, abandoning even the pretense of coöperation that, on Wednesday, after he’d sat for a long-withheld one-on-one meeting with Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who had dropped his objections to Finland and Sweden’s joining the alliance. “We’re proving thatNATO
Another blunt reality is that, for all of the billions of dollars that Biden and a so-far-united U.S. Congress have sent in aid to Ukraine, Russia’s ability to fight on likely means the conflict will be measured in years and not months. The much toutedimposed by Biden at the start of the war have not broken Putin or his regime. And the longer the war goes on, Putin seems to be reckoning, the better it looks for him.
In the United States, however, it’s hard to see that Biden has had similar success shoring up allies against the very real prospect of Trump’s return to power. Democrats have talked—and talked and talked—about the need to safeguard elections, protect voting rights, and revamp the outdated federal law governing the Electoral College. They have not done any of these. They have also talked about accountability for Trump and those who carried out the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Biden even got indignant when a reporter asked him whether American instability and political dysfunction has now become a pressing concern for its allies. “America is better positioned to lead the world than we ever have been,” he blustered. The only “destabilizing” factor, he insisted, was the Supreme Court’s decision throwing out Roe. That is disingenuous at best.
