Biden is the most reckless president of the modern era. Even the war criminals George W. Bush and Dick Cheney had the good sense to only practice their imperial crimes against 3rd and 4th rate military powers. Biden, on the other hand, has chosen to pick fights with the two most powerful and nuclear-armed states on the planet.

Even worse, we hear not a peep of protest from his Democratic colleagues in Congress. During the Vietnam War Democratic Senators had no trouble criticizing fellow Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, a powerful and sometimes vengeful president. J. William Fulbright, William Proxmire, Wayne Morse, Robert F. Kennedy, George McGovern, Eugene McCarthy, and Frank Church regularly laid into Johnson's war policies.

Today's Democrats can't bring themselves to offer even the slightest objection to a weak and unpopular president. Whether he is continuing the illegal occupation of Syria, bombing Somalia, starving children in Yemen and Afghanistan, or providing billion$ in aid to undemocratic autocracies like Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and Ukraine, these Democrats can't offer even the slightest objection. They richly deserve the contempt of the voters this November.

It not only seems wrong, but catastrophically wrong. I can't imagine that China's response will not be one of a complete encircling of Taiwan to keep us and our weapons out. China has all the strategic advantage while all we have is the will to destroy one country after another until we've destroyed all that is.
