Although his threats are growing almost as fast as his army\u2019s losses in Ukraine, he got the world\u2019s attention by declaring that Russia <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/09\/30\/russian-missile-strike-in-ukraine-city-of-zaporizhzhia-leaves-23-dead-28-wounded\/\">annexed four Ukrainian regions<\/a> and would use nuclear weapons to defend them.<\/p>\n<p>In a speech that twisted history to make Russia a victim, the czar-wanna-be called America the \u201cenemy,\u201d claimed it was possessed by \u201cSatanism\u201d and, in the most ominous passage, warned: \u201cThe United States is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons twice, destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. And they created a precedent.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>In response, Secretary of State Tony Blinken decried the \u201cloose\u201d nuke talk, but added: \u201cWe are looking very carefully to see if Russia is actually doing anything that suggests that they are contemplating the<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/09\/26\/us-warns-russia-of-catastrophic-consequences-if-it-uses-nuclear-weapons\/\"> use of nuclear weapons.<\/a> To date, we\u2019ve not seen them take these actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The world is almost always a dangerous place, but the boldness of our adversaries is uncommon and unnerving. They saw Biden\u2019s cut-and-run act in Afghanistan, and having taken his measure, are making their moves.<\/p>\n<p>China, which is propping up Putin with coal and oil purchases as part of a troubling new alliance, is poking Japan and menacing Taiwan in what looks like rehearsal for an invasion.<br \/>Biden\u2019s reaction has been strange in that he vows America would put boots on the ground to help defend the island. In fact, he has promised a United States combat role four times, and four times aides have walked back his comments, saying the policy remains only that we would sell Taiwan military equipment to defend itself.<\/p>\n<p>Strategic ambiguity is one thing, but utter confusion about whether the commander in chief has all his marbles and is still in charge is quite another.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s regime, beset at home by growing <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/01\/iranian-woman-arrested-for-eating-breakfast-without-headscarf\/\">demonstrations over women\u2019s rights,<\/a> took a break from killing its own citizens to fire ballistic missiles into Iraq\u2019s Kurdistan, killing a number of civilians, including one unidentified American.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that it was after a similar attack nearly three years ago that then-President Trump droned Qassem Soleimani, the mastermind of Iran\u2019s terror networks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/biden-goodwin-russia-china-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/biden-goodwin-russia-china-2.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese President Xi Jinping toasts\" class=\"wp-image-24091479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/biden-goodwin-russia-china-2-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/biden-goodwin-russia-china-2-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/biden-goodwin-russia-china-2-2.jpg&amp;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Chinese President Xi Jinping toasts during a dinner reception at the Great Hall of the People on the eve of the National Day holiday in Beijing on Sept. 30. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Ng Han Guan\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This time, the very-busy Blinken merely rolled out the condemnation machine, deplored the loss of life and criticized Iran for \u201cthreatening additional attacks against Iraq.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet at no point has the White House suggested that such attacks on our allies, and Iran\u2019s continuing threats against Israel, would cause Biden to scuttle his offer of a new nuke deal.
