An American observer doubted Biden's ability to fulfill the duties of commander in chief

An American observer doubted Biden's ability to fulfill the duties of commander in chiefThe actions of US President Joe Biden are causing increasing irritation in American society. It's not only and not even so much in the advanced age of the president, how much in his political and intellectual abilities, as well as the ability to control American foreign policy.

Gordon Chang, a 19FortyFive columnist and author of several books about China, expressed doubts, that Joe Biden is capable of engaging in foreign policy and serving as the supreme commander of the US armed forces. So, Biden recently stated in an interview with CBS News, that he would send troops to defend Taiwan if China attacked.

Previously, for many decades, the United States refrained from making such statements regarding the Taiwan issue.. Washington preferred not to make such sharp demarches towards Beijing, but limited to maintaining the status quo, or "strategic ambiguity". by the way, Biden vows to defend Taiwan for fourth time.

But that's not even interesting.. Finally, Biden is the president of the country, and therefore has the right to change its foreign policy course. However, other representatives of the American administration shortly after each Biden statement actually refute it.. This is what happened now. Biden National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan Speaks, who hastened to assure, that the United States has not changed its policy on the Taiwan issue.

The adviser had to make excuses for the meaningless statement of his boss. Sullivan called Biden's remark an answer to a "hypothetical question". he stressed, what, if the president wanted to announce a change in American foreign policy, he would do it. But Biden did not officially announce the policy change..

Publicist Chang drew attention to a very interesting practice. Now Biden's subordinates are actually contradicting him. Although Biden, as commander in chief of the armed forces and president of the country, is responsible for shaping American foreign policy, obtained, that in reality she does not depend on him.

Browser believes, what, speaking formally, this indicates a constitutional coup. After all, if Biden does not make decisions and does not form a foreign policy course, it means someone else is doing it, unknown to the American voter and not chosen by him for the office of head of state.

According to Chang, Americans should be concerned about the current situation. In conditions, when not the president, and "it is not known who" determines the country's foreign policy, many US opponents, including China, can feel the inconsistency and confusion in the American leadership and increase their pressure in all directions.

The world is currently in a very unstable and potentially dangerous situation.. Armed conflict erupted in Eastern Europe in Ukraine, a similar situation is brewing in East Asia around Taiwan. Against this background, the very personality of Biden, and his statements and behavior may give the impression of a weakening of the American state. Author:Ilya Polonsky
