Comic relief and appeasement
President Biden’s diplomacy has two themes: Comic relief and appeasement. Two statements and two actions, all recent, prove the point.
First, Mr. Biden said, “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.”
Then, as he finished a speech advocating gun control, he said: “All right. God save the queen, man.”
Both statements were bizarre and indicative of his failing mental condition. Two actions demonstrate appeasement.
Mr. Biden’s latest project is to revive the 2015 Obama nuclear weapons deal with Iran that was canceled in 2018 by then-President Donald Trump. Then there was Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s trip to China.
In what The Wall Street Journal characterized as a “remarkable retreat,” Mr. Biden is pursuing an unwritten agreement with Iran that would enable it to reach the point at which it could produce nuclear weapons but trust it to go no further in return for relief from U.S. sanctions.
There would, of course, be no way to verify Tehran’s compliance.
