Biden’s Legacy of Unprincipled Stagnation

Source: The American Conservative
by Randall L Schweller

“Joe Biden assumed the presidency repeating the bumper-sticker phrase, ‘America is Back,’ by which he meant a ‘glorious restoration’ of American primacy — a spirited return to the pre-Trump, post-Cold War foreign policies the world had come to expect of a benign hegemon dutifully managing its rules-based international order in the interest of the world community. … Four years later, Joe Biden’s foreign policy legacy is best characterized as a series of strategic missteps and policy decisions that have diminished American influence abroad, exacerbated regional conflicts, and introduced significant risks to American national security and international stability. Biden’s foreign policy has been reactive rather than proactive, often extending conflicts rather than resolving them, as seen in Ukraine and the Middle East.” (02/03/25)
