However, those with any foreign policy understanding will remember that Joe Biden has been wrong on matters of foreign policy for the entirety of his political career, and that his speech raises far more questions and concerns than the legacy media will ever admit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>No mention of Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Throughout his entire speech, Joe Biden made one single reference to Iran \u2014 the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of terrorism \u2014 when he recognized as a side-note that \u201c<\/span><span>Saudi Arabia faces missile attacks, UAV strikes, and other threats from Iranian-supplied forces in multiple countries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Late in January, Dr Majid Takht-Ravanchi \u2014 Iran\u2019s ambassador to the United Nations \u2014 published an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/27\/opinion\/biden-iran-deal.html\">opinion piece<\/a> for the New York Times titled, \u201cBiden Wants to Return to the Iran Deal. He can Start Here,\u201d saying that \u201cThere is a window now to restore America\u2019s credibility and bring more stability to the Middle East.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Such an assertion \u2014 while objectively laughable \u2014 is unfortunately the view of the political establishment which is now spearheaded by Biden, a man often clueless on issues of foreign policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Iran Nuclear Deal, which Biden will presumably work to embrace, was utterly disastrous, handing terror-sponsoring Iran the opportunity to grow as a regional superpower. Combined with Biden\u2019s<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/why-biden-would-be-disaster-on-foreign-policy\"><span>ideological ineptitude<\/span><\/a> <span>when it comes to the Middle East \u2014 including voting against the Gulf War in 1991 and for the Iraq War in 2003, opposing the assassination of Osama Bin Laden and bolstering Obama\u2019s murderous drone war \u2014 anyone who values peace in the Middle East should be terrified by Biden\u2019s intentional decision to ignore Iran during his speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Weakness in the face of China<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>During his speech, Biden made very brief and very careful references to America\u2019s greatest adversarial opponent on the global stage: China. On the subject of \u201cadvancing authoritarianism,\u201d Biden mentioned \u201cthe growing ambitions of China to rival the United States.\u201d Later, he promised to \u201ctake on directly the challenges posed by our prosperity, security, and democratic values by our most serious competitor, China,\u201d and that his administration will \u201cconfront China\u2019s economic abuses; counter its aggressive, coercive action; to push back on China\u2019s attack on human rights, intellectual property, and global governance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The problem with Biden on the subject of China is twofold. Firstly, he has held <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/haworth-5-of-bidens-most-significant-flip-flops\">every position<\/a> regarding America\u2019s enemy throughout his career. In June of 2019, Biden stated that \u201cWe are in a competition with China. We need to get tough with China. They are a serious challenge to us, and in some areas a real threat.\u201d Just a few weeks earlier, Biden seemed to counter this position, saying \u201cChina is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man. They can\u2019t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east \u2014 I mean the west. They can\u2019t figure out how they\u2019re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They\u2019re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They\u2019re not competition for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Joe Biden has flip-flopped on the subject of China on multiple occasions, and has repeatedly ignored the obvious conflict of interest posed by his son, Hunter Biden, who still holds an investment stake in a Chinese company funded by the Chinese government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Secondly, Biden\u2019s calls to \u201ctake on\u201d China, to \u201cconfront\u201d and \u201ccounter\u201d their actions are, frankly, meaningless. This is the same set of empty threats employed by the Obama administration which will cause President Xi Jinping no concern whatsoever, especially as Biden rushes to realign with the China-controlled World Health Organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Open borders when it comes to refugees and asylum-seekers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Before celebrating his executive order which overturned the \u201chateful, discriminatory Muslim ban\u201d \u2014 which, of course, wasn\u2019t anything of the sort \u2014 Biden continued to announce his administration\u2019s open border policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He called for (yet another) executive order \u201c<\/span><span>to begin the hard work of restoring our refugee admissions program to help meet the unprecedented global need,\u201d which would \u201craise the refugee admissions back up to 125,000 persons for the first full fiscal year of the Biden-Harris administration.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The combination of these two attitudes \u2014 increasing refugee admittance and removing the ability to filter or screen those entering the country \u2014 has already been tried, with unprecedented consequences. After waves of unfettered immigration \u2014 celebrated by the globalist European Union as an empathetic and humanitarian act of charity \u2014 there was an explosion of serious crime across the continent. In Germany alone, over 1,200 women were reportedly sexually assaulted during the 2015-2016 New Year\u2019s Eve celebrations. Europe has dealt with a resurgence of terrorist acts, as well as horrendous instances of anti-Semitic violence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is one thing to increase the admittance of those seeking asylum. It\u2019s another to do so in the naive manner Biden is proposing.<\/p>\n<p><span>***<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Joe Biden\u2019s foreign policy announcements may amount to a reset, but they are not a return to anything worth celebrating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
