OPINION: Call it the Biden two-step. Every so often, like each and every one of us, the president makes a misstep.
is too old, but that time and time again his opponents appear too callow and inexperienced to keep up with him.
Or turn to a story that is even bigger the debt showdown in the United States. On Friday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a speech in Helsinki, Finland that made it clear that the underestimated Biden had executed a pirouette in U.S. foreign policy that left vaunted master strategist Vladimir Putin flat on his ass.
Putin expected Biden and the U.S. to be weak as it had been under Trump. But as Blinken pointed out, today, “There is no question, Russia is significantly worse off today than it was before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine—militarily, economically, geopolitically.” A core thrust of his remarks was that Russia has already been strategically defeated.
At the beginning of the Biden Administration some thought he stumbled with the hurried and sometimes chaotic exit from Afghanistan. Some, like Putin, may have misunderstood what they saw. And now, not only has Russia suffered grievously for that error of judgement, but Biden and American standing have emerged stronger.
He observed the response to economic crisis of 2008-9 provided too little support to the middle class and the weakest in our economy and so when he engineered a response to the COVID-induced crisis, he reflected that with support for real people and the real economy.
