Donald Trump takes over from Joe Biden at the White House in less than a week in what is,
for all intents and purposes, a theatrical change of the executive figurehead.One manikin is wheeled out, another wheeled in. Cue the brass band and gun salutes.
There's a big difference in personal style and rhetoric about policies. But the world will continue to endure its experience of U.S. power - one of imperialistic militarism, conflict, and violence.Outgoing Democrat President Joe Biden let the cat out of the bag - as he is prone to do - when he
delivered what was billed as his last foreign policy speech this week. He outlined a world of U.S. domination by military force and proxy machinations. It was a dystopian view of international relations - yet Biden exulted in the belief that "America is winning" and that this something noble to report to the American people.
During his 30-minute rant at the State Department, Biden declared: "The United States is winning the worldwide competition compared to four years ago. America is stronger. Our alliances are stronger, our adversaries and competitors are weaker."
It was hard to listen to Biden as he slurred from one fragmented sentence to the next without punctuation. It was harder still to listen to the delusional lies about America leading the world under the aegis of his administration.
He went on to boast that adversaries Russia, China and Iran were all weakened by his policies to create a new Cold War. That's right, Biden actually claimed it a virtue when he stammered, "the post-Cold War is over, a new era has begun" of fierce competition and crises."
The proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, where as many as one million military deaths have been incurred in three years, has been recklessly fueled by the Biden administration. The Biden White House and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson deliberately sabotaged an early peace settlement in March 2022.
