President Biden expressed confidence on Monday that his administration is leaving the country in a stronger global position than when he took office, emphasizing that the incoming Trump administration will inherit a "very strong hand to play" in addressing international challenges.  

 

In his final foreign policy address at the State Department, Biden highlighted his administration's achievements while acknowledging the obstacles that remain, including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Reflecting on his tenure, he contrasted his approach to diplomacy with the "America first" policy that defined much of President-elect Trump's earlier administration.  

 

Biden spoke optimistically about the alliances and partnerships his administration strengthened, noting, "Even so, it's clear: My administration is leaving the next administration with a very strong hand to play. And leaving them an America with more friends and stronger alliances, whose adversaries are weaker and under pressure."  

 

A central focus of Biden's remarks was Russia's war in Ukraine. He pointed to the failure of Russia to achieve its strategic goals in the conflict, which he credited to the resilience of Ukraine and the united support of the international community. He urged the U.S. to leverage its current advantage to push for a "just and lasting peace for Ukraine."  

 

Biden also discussed progress toward stability in the Middle East, sharing hope for imminent developments in the region. "We are on the brink of a hostage release and ceasefire in Gaza," he said, emphasizing the importance of continued U.S. engagement in the region to achieve a "more stable, integrated Middle East."  

 

Reflecting on his administration's broader legacy, Biden underlined the value of collaboration and collective leadership on the global stage. "At our best, America leads not only by the example of our power, but the power of our example. The past four years we have used that power, not to go it alone, but instead to bring countries together," he said.  

 

As the Trump administration takes over, the durability of Biden's foreign policy strategies will be tested. The handoff marks a pivotal moment for the U.S. as it navigates geopolitical complexities with the tools and alliances Biden's team leaves behind.

Unfortunately the Democrats are too scared to take pages from Trumps playbook. Dems are scared of losing their base, which I find hilarious, as to where the AOC crowd would go to? They won't shift to Republican, and if they are so stupid to throw support behind an independent thus forever keeping Republicans in power, well then they deserve the <deleted> pile they have created.

 

If I could give them any advice...drop anything to do with left of centre politics and focus on the middle ground. Start making <deleted> up, start calling Trump stumpy dick (based on Stormy's description, and others, of the orange ones penis), endorse a Muslim candidate as Republicans will be to scared to say anything negative about them. Gonna be an exciting four years watching the RNC eat its own.

Biden does not have the cognitive mental ability to reflect on anything let alone Foreign policy. They should just keep him in the basement until he is put out to pasture on January 20th.

So, while Biden has improved many things, he will only be remembered as old.
