The Biden 10-step plan for global chaos | VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

 Victor Davis Hanson | Opinion (reviewjournal.com)

Why is Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador bragging that millions of Mexicans have entered the United States, most of them illegally? And why is he interfering in U.S. elections by urging his expatriates to vote for Democrats? 

"Why is French President Emmanuel Macron cozying up to China while trashing his oldest ally, the United States?

"Why is there suddenly talk of discarding the dollar as the global currency?

"Why are Japan and India shrugging that they cannot follow the U.S. lead in boycotting Russian oil?

"Why is the president of Brazil traveling to China to pursue what he calls a “beautiful relationship”?

"Why is Israel suddenly facing attacks from its enemies in all directions?. . .


"The Pentagon refused to admit culpability and misled the country about Afghanistan and the Chinese spy balloon flight. The current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called his Chinese communist counterpart and head of the People’s Liberation Army to advise him that the U.S. military would warn the Chinese if it determined an order from its commander in chief, former President Donald Trump, was inappropriate.

"This list of these self-inflicted disasters could be easily expanded.

"But the examples explain well enough why our emboldened enemies do not fear us, our triangulating allies judge us unreliable and calculating neutrals assume America is in descent and too dangerous to join.

"Yet without America, the result is a new Chinese order in which, to quote the historian Thucydides, “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”
