Joe Biden

Shifting Mandate

The sixth Quad Leaders’ Summit was held in US President Biden's hometown, Wilmington, Dela ware, on 21 September, amid enduring wars in Europe and the Middle East, and China’s growing belligerent activities in the IndoPacific.

The Quad and China

The Quad (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue) is a grouping of four Indo-Pacific nations, US, Japan, Australia and India. Its fourth inperson Quad leaders’ summit was hosted by President Joe Biden in Wilmington, Delaware, recently.

Creating events that never happened

Imagine an October surprise like no other: Only a week before 5 November 2024, a video recording reveals a secret meeting between Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The American and Ukrainian presidents agree to immediately initiate Ukraine into Nato under “the special emergency membership protocol” and prepare for a nuclear weapons strike against Russia. Suddenly, the world is on the cusp of Armageddon.

Blow to Biden

It is an interesting parallel. In 1948, writes American political commentator and academic William A. Galston, US President Harry Truman was on the ropes. He was personally unpopular and faced breakaway candidates to his left (former Vice President Henry Wallace), and to his right (Strom Thurmond).
