Joe Biden's Foolishness Provokes a Realignment Against American Interests

For a man who has been in Washington fifty years, Joe Biden has, like the Bourbons of France, forgotten nothing and learned nothing. He has historically been wrong about every major foreign policy issue. Famously, he created bipartisan outrage by his plan to subdivide Iraq into three parts. No one except Joe Biden thought it was a good idea. More recently, he bailed out of Afghanistan as rapidly as possible against the advice of his Generals, creating a power vacuum rapidly filled by the Taliban. Americans are still stuck in Afghanistan. You just don’t hear about that anymore because the press has moved on to other things.

Biden’s ignorance and arrogance battle each other for supremacy and, in that fight, he makes the simple way more complex than necessary. In an already complex world, Biden likes to turn trigonometry calculations into advanced calculus.

A French exposé making little news in the English speaking world has recently documented Russia’s Gazprom funding Western environmentalist groups to advocate against fracking, shale, oil, and nuclear power. In Europe, Russia has funded environmentalists who have agitated effectively for German to shut down its nuclear power plants and for France to stop harvesting its own energy reserves.

Through a Bermuda entity, Gazprom has allegedly funded the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters in the United States to oppose shale exploration and fracking. Now, the Democrats in Congress are demanding Biden stop liquid natural gas exports and Biden is contemplating shutting down several export facilities along the Gulf Coast. Russia, if the French are to be believed, has played this masterfully.

Abroad, it is worse.
