Biden Wants America to Lead the World. It Shouldn’t.

U.S. “leadership” is a favorite trope of the foreign policy establishment. It’s outdated and dangerous.

There’s a lot we still don’t know about how President-elect Joe Biden and his foreign policy team will approach the world. But this much is clear: They believe in American “leadership.”

In a 2015 speech, Antony Blinken, Mr. Biden’s choice to be secretary of state, employed some version of the word 21 times. This spring, Mr. Biden wrote an essay in Foreign Affairs titled “Why America Must Lead Again.” Last week, when he introduced his national security nominees, he said that “America is back, ready to lead the world.”

Let’s hope not. In the post-Trump age, “leadership” is a misguided, and even dangerous, vision for America’s relationship with the rest of the globe.

So - progressives have already started the assault of Biden to get him thrown out so a woman "of color" can become POTUS. 888sunglass
