Joe Biden Is Off to a Weak Start on Foreign Policy

The problem with first impressions is that you only get to make one. With startling speed, President Joe Biden and his administration have demonstrated to the world that they will be a sequel to the Obama administration on foreign policy, just without the charismatic front man: weak, weak, weak.
The Trump administration had refused to extend the flawed New START nuclear treaty with Russia without significant improvements. Russian President Vladimir Putin was hoping instead for a one-year extension of the existing treaty. Biden gave him five years in exchange for nothing. Where are these people when you need to sell a used car?
