Biden’s Fumbling Foreign Policy: Warns of Another Country’s Invasion
In yet another glaring illustration of the Biden Administration’s disastrous foreign policy, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reportedly warned US lawmakers that Azerbaijan is poised to invade Armenia. This grim revelation comes on the heels of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s bold declaration that he will retake the disputed region “by force.”
Blinken’s dubious claim that the administration is exploring ways to hold Azerbaijan accountable, including severing military assistance, rings hollow. Despite Azerbaijan’s brazen invasion of the Nagorno-Karabakh region last month, which displaced over 100,000 ethnic Armenians and led to the arrest of dozens of leaders, the US has continued to renew a waiver enabling military aid to Azerbaijan for the past two decades.
This impending crisis is just the latest in a string of destabilizing events across the globe under the Biden administration. From Europe to the Middle East, nations are witnessing invasions and destabilization, raising serious questions about Biden’s ability to navigate the tumultuous waters of international politics.
But wait, there’s more! As if the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict isn’t headache enough, China – ever the opportunistic predator – is eyeing Taiwan. Beijing, apparently emboldened by America’s increasing inability to juggle multiple crises, is reportedly gearing up to make its move on Taiwan, further stretching America’s resources thin.
The chaos in the Caucasus is not the only territorial dispute at play. Azerbaijan has proposed a route to the Nakhichevan exclave, cutting through Armenia’s southern Syunik region, known in Azerbaijani as Zangezur. This would facilitate road traffic bypassing Iran, further inflaming tensions in an already volatile region.
While Blinken seems to be playing catch-up, the Biden administration appears woefully unprepared to handle these brewing crises. The world waits with bated breath to see how – or if – the Biden administration will step up and assert America’s role as a global leader.
