A lack of clarity, previously mentioned by this author concerning the lack of clear direction and goals for the West’s involvement in Ukraine, also, if you consider its many contradictions, seems to extend to much of the Biden administration’s foreign policy.
The recently released Biden National Security Strategy points to the “acute threat” posed by Russia to United States national security. Yet the administration continues, with the support and encouragement of the European Union, its futile attempt to restart the “nuclear deal” to enable Iran’s expansionist regime to have as many nuclear weapons as it likes and the ballistic missiles to deliver them — and on top of that, using Russia, of all countries, as its proxy negotiator.
One can only wonder at how the Biden administration believes the U.S. can negotiate the nuclear agreement using Russia, a nation it labels as an “acute threat,” to work on a deal with Iran, a nation that it labels as a “persistent threat.”
Members of the US House of Representatives will try for a fourth day to elect a Speaker on Friday in an attempt to end a political impasse.
