In a recent opinion editorial by Jazz Shaw, published by Hot Air, the author critically examines the current state of the United States under Democratic control.
Shaw expresses skepticism about the possibility of another four years of Democratic leadership, despite recent polls suggesting that half of likely voters are in favor of this outcome.
Shaw's piece focuses on President Joe Biden's handling of international relations, particularly with China, Russia, and North Korea. According to a report by the New York Times, Biden secretly ordered a shift in America's nuclear weapons strategy in March, focusing on China as a nuclear threat. This classified plan, known as the "Nuclear Employment Guidance," also warned of the increasing likelihood of China, Russia, and North Korea aligning against the United States.
The author acknowledges the necessity of maintaining secrecy around nuclear strategy and preparations, which are among the most classified aspects of America's national security. However, Shaw questions the Biden administration's portrayal of the situation, especially regarding China. Despite the growing threat, the administration has continued to advocate for a competitive yet productive relationship with China, a stance Shaw suggests may be influenced by China's control over a significant portion of the green energy market share and the global supply chains.
Shaw also criticizes the administration's approach to Russia, arguing that the U.S. has been overly aggressive even before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He points out that Russia, despite its political differences with the U.S., has strong economic ties with America, with many American businesses thriving within its borders. However, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration imposed sweeping sanctions and withdrew American business interests, actions that Shaw believes have largely failed.
The author further criticizes Biden's outreach to Iran, which he claims has only resulted in increased international terrorism sponsored by Iran. He concludes by expressing concern about the potential for nuclear war and the perceived weakness of the U.S. military and society. He warns of the dire consequences of this perceived weakness, symbolized by the image of a mushroom cloud rising over Manhattan.
In his opinion editorial, Shaw presents a critical view of the Biden administration's handling of international relations and national security. He calls for a more assertive and effective approach to dealing with potential threats from China, Russia, and North Korea.
