“NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act] would allocate roughly $778 billion to the Pentagon for Fiscal Year 2022, a nearly $40 billion increase from 2021 and the largest called for in the bill in eight years. The plan from the Biden administration was to set the tone early and say, 'We're not going to get a peace dividend out of this, we are going to reinvest this in, not necessarily endless wars per se, but a sprawling collection of 800 military bases, spending that exceeds the next 10 countries combined. The NDAA being considered by the House this week would far surpass China's funding for its own military. By increasing the military budget close to $40 billion, America is back, but in the sense that we're back to starting an arms race with another major power.”

“In another instance of federal overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas' continued recovery from the COVID-19 disaster.”

“Coming at a very sensitive juncture, the two senior official's meeting shows the two countries are willing to engage in a frank discussion to ensure general stability based on effective management on major differences. It will also be beneficial to the Asia-Pacific region. The recent US strategic offensive against China shows the Biden administration is planning to partially cease fire. Aside from issues concerning China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, there are clear signs in the 'easing' of China-US tensions'. China-US relations will be transformed from 'confrontational competition' to a 'conversational competition' stage, and 'fighting while talking' would be the normal of bilateral ties.”

“The biggest difference [between Biden and Trump on China] is that the Trump administration was more unilateralist and even weakened some of our alliances and partnerships, but the Biden administration has come in determined to build coalitions with the countries that share our values and interests.”

“I think that Pyongyang is serious about improving ties with Seoul. And it makes sense to try to do this while President Moon is still in office. If another liberal wins the presidency, most likely they will follow the same policy as President Moon so any dialogue with him would be a starting point for relations with the new president. And if a conservative wins, they wouldn't want to go back to the period of tensions that we witnessed from 2010 to 2017. So a conservative president would be tempted to seek engagement with Pyongyang. Particularly with a Biden administration that clearly wants no tensions with North Korea, and which seems to be open to diplomacy.”

“The damage that the Biden administration has brought to US-France ties is much bigger than all the damage combined in Trump's term. This proves that whether 'America First' or 'America is back,' they are just different measures serving the same goal of US hegemony. Biden's pledge to fix ties with allies is not the purpose, it is a measure to make the US regain leadership. In the case of the AUKUS submarine deal, Biden's diplomatic approach is just like another version of Trump's America First. As long as it's in the interest of the US, they can betray anyone, even an ally like France.”

“The Biden administration has taken the wrong approach to the humanitarian situation. It's like telling people who are in a burning house that they can't leave the house … They have to leave the house, it's burning. They can't go back to Haiti. So if they don't cross into the United States for fear of being deported, then they are going to just be staying in Mexico in flux and essentially they're shifting the burden of this onto Mexico. That is the wrong approach.”

“This makes Europeans realize that maybe some of Trump's policies, beyond the scandals and the tweets, were not an aberration but signaled a deeper shift away from Europe. At a time when the Biden administration wants to rally Europeans in a common transatlantic front to push back against Chinese assertiveness, why not bring in the key EU actor in the region?”

“North Korea's steadily advancing missile program should not come as a surprise. Kim Jong-un made defense development a major line of effort in his report addressing the eighth Party Congress in January 2021, and specifically mentioned long-range cruise missiles. The cruise missile tests also follow a report by the United Nations that North Korea restarted the plutonium-producing reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear complex this summer. The Biden administration's approach seeking a middle path between the Trump administration's dangerous maximum pressure campaign of 2017 and the subsequent summit pageantry is unlikely to stop North Korea's programs. The longer the United States waits to get serious at the negotiating table, the more technical thresholds and limitations Kim Jong-un will break through, leaving the United States in an ultimately worse-off position.”

“If the Biden administration finally changes 'Taipei,' the conventional city name used to refer to the official institution of the island, into 'Taiwan,' it will deliver a clear message that the US is juxtaposing the island and China on the same position as countries, which will further hollow out the one-China principle that China has always been upholding. It might cause a very serious situation if it happens.”

“The meeting [between Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi] is a public display that this relationship is alive and kicking. There's obviously a real effort here from the Egyptians to show that they trying to build on and cement this relationship in a more public way. That is because they want to demonstrate to the Americans their concerns potentially about the changes in foreign policy towards Egypt from the Biden administration. Egypt is the second biggest recipient of US military aid in the world. Being friendly with the biggest recipient of military aid [Israel] in this public way presumably makes sense on that front.”

“The U.S. appears to be taking advantage of its nuclear talks with South Korea as a means to ensure cooperation - in other words, to have Seoul on Washington's side. South Korea is seen by some as the weakest link among the Washington-Seoul-Tokyo trilateral security structure, so the Biden administration is trying to keep the country in check in its policy toward North Korea. In that sense, the two sides have held multi-level talks.”

“Beijing's biggest concern is the Biden administration's hardline policy toward China. … Withdrawing its forces from Afghanistan, the U.S. said it will instead put more focus on the security situation in Northeast Asia, referring to threats posed by China, Russia and North Korea. When the main target of the U.S. is China, China wants to break the weakest link in the U.S. alliance network in the region, meaning South Korea.”

“The Biden administration's narrative that the US is the world's climate leader holding China to account was overblown. It's not even clear if there is enough political will in the US to move away from fossil fuels. All this posturing, this moral self-righteousness is counterproductive and it's also based on a false premise that America is following a better path than it currently is.”

“The ultimate goal will always remain denuclearization. But statements by Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in years past suggest that they knew that outright denuclearization wasn't realistic. Since the Biden administration took office, the U.S. has signaled its willingness to negotiate. To me, this suggests that the administration has accepted that a step-by-step approach is the only viable way to address the North Korean nuclear issue.”

“The Biden administration does have the option of just forgetting about North Korea in the short to medium term. If the administration gets sucked back into Afghanistan and feels it does not have the time or the political capital to try and push for a deal with North Korea, it could simply opt not to rock the boat and hope the status quo holds, even if that means a North Korea that builds more and more nuclear weapons.”

“This visit is important to Zelenskiy [Volodymyr Zelenskiy] because Trump brought him into the domestic political debate, there has been some concern there could be tensions between the Ukrainian leader and the Biden administration. But that didn't happen, because first of all, he resisted Trump's pressure, and secondly, Biden and his people in the State Department understand the importance of Ukraine. The visit alone will likely raise Zelenskiy's profile within his country.”
