And they're doing it without firing a shot. Making economic and security arrangements that appear mutually beneficial. Would I trust them? No, but regardless of my view these nations around the world are realigning their relationships. They have no respect for or desire to engage this administration. Their assessment is we're a nation is severe decline and absent leadership. Unfortunately, I agree with that assessment. Biden's administration is similar to that Roman Emperor's regime in 455 AD. Being a history buff I expect you know what I mean. Rome was a slave society and a dictatorship, they had no universities, think tanks, schools for mass education or much of a capitalist infrastructure. No real innovative science institutions or engagement among thinkers. They had no printing press even. We are VERY different than Rome.

ITs circling the drain at the same rate with leaders more worried about themselves than preserving the systems that have kept the country strong for this long. kind of like Naro and his fiddle.

So you have no objection to the conclusion China is running circles around Biden and has little to no respect for the man or the administration? I'm asking because you ignored that part. 1

B-Man Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 Biden Physically Moved Into Place by Lithuanian Leader, Makes Eyebrow Raising Comment About Russia Embarrassing. I’m confused. What is he talking about here? I think it’s Ukraine (does he know where he is?), but then is he admitting we had “thousands of troops” in Ukraine? Or is he talking about Lithuania? Lithuania has only been a NATO member since 2004. Then did he offer them our secretary of defense? Since it’s Joe, it’s always an exercise to try to figure out exactly what he’s talking about. That’s a big problem on the world stage where a careless word can have big consequences, as we saw when he talked about essentially being cool with a “minor incursion” in Ukraine. Biden’s errors have already cost a lot. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2023/07/11/biden-physically-moved-into-place-by-lithuanian-leader-makes-eyebrow-raising-comment-about-russia-n774723 1

They've concluded America is no longer a reliable partner. And as such they're seeking out new arrangements and security guarantees with other parties. Biden's personal attacks on MBS, even though true and accurate, don't help. The Saudi's announced another 1M barrel cut for September under the umbrella of OPEC+ with Russia making previously agreed to cuts. What the oil producers are saying by cutting production and maintaining prices at around $75-$80 is they're not going to shoulder the consequences of central bank rate increases slowing oil demand by over-supplying the market.
B-Man Posted August 10, 2023 Posted August 10, 2023 More "RESULTS" Biden Admin Reportedly Set to Buy Back Five U.S. Hostages From Iran for $6 Billion. The New York Times reports the deal was two years in the making. As with any deal made with Iran, we shouldn’t believe the agreement is a done deal until the Americans are back on U.S. soil. “The move by Iran of the American hostages from Evin Prison to house arrest is an important development,” said Jared Genser, the lawyer for Siamak Namazi, one of the Americans released on Thursday. The Americans will be held under guard for “several weeks” at the hotel while, if past experience holds true, the Iranians will try to extract additional concessions from Biden. https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2023/08/10/biden-admin-reportedly-set-to-buy-back-five-u-s-hostages-from-iran-for-6-billion-n1718028 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/us/politics/iran-us-prisoner-swap.html 1

B-Man Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Joe Biden’s Ukraine defense falls apart By Jonathan Turley President Barack Obama famously warned fellow Democrats in 2020, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.” The warning was ignored by many as an almost brotherly reference to Biden’s habit of making false claims (like being arrested when seeking to see Nelson Mandela) or his continual verbal gaffes. Biden has always had a certain penchant for bragging, whether it’s claiming a dead man told him he reached a million miles on Amtrak, being a cross-country trucker or fighting off some “bad dude” named Corn Pop. But one of those bravado moments may have revealed more than vanity. Ironically, it’s the one controversial story that appears entirely true. In a 2018 interview at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden bragged that he unilaterally withheld a billion dollars in US aid from the Ukrainians to force them to fire Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin. The Ukrainians balked, but Biden gave them an ultimatum: “I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a B word. He got fired.” {snip} While Joe was portraying his work as fighting corruption, some officials were warning that the Bidens could be part of the problem, not the solution, in Ukraine. Leading diplomat George Kent wrote then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, “The real issue to my mind was that someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter’s presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti-corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine [because] Ukrainians heard one message from us and then saw another set of behavior with the family association with a known corrupt figure whose company was known for not playing by the rules.” https://nypost.com/2023/08/22/joe-bidens-ukraine-defense-falls-apart/ 1
