The best way to defeat an enemy is never to let it get to the battlefield in the first place. Japan tried to do that to the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor in 1941. No doubt Beijing will be thinking along the same lines as it attempts to keep the United States out of any fight over Taiwan.
As a candidate for president in 2020, Joe Biden’s campaign slogan was “Build Back Better.” This platform included a dramatic shift away from the pro-American energy policies of the Trump administration.

BIDEN AND THE POLLS: HE'S FALLEN AND HE CAN'T GET UP. In an interview with the Financial Times, the longtime Washington political analyst Charlie Cook noted that President Joe Biden's job approval rating has been stuck below 50% for a long time, 2 1/2 years, and shows no signs of rising above 50% anytime soon.
