In his first foreign policy speech, President Joe Biden threatened Russia and China. He is seen here with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Feb. 6—Relations with America will not be easy for yet some time to come. Given the various strategy papers against Russia and China as well as statements by leading military officers, President Biden’s announcement in his first foreign policy speech that “America is Back,” sounds like an undisguised threat. Under his leadership, he said, the days of the United States’ “rolling over” when faced with Russia’s aggressive actions are over, and China’s aggressive, coercive actions will be countered. The title of his speech was “America’s Place in the World,” and according to Biden, that place is everywhere in the world. Governments as well as responsible citizens throughout the world need to begin reflecting without delay on how they will respond to the statements of political intent heard in the context of Biden’s taking office.
