Lack of strategic vision in Biden
Analysts believe that while Biden seemed to use the UN rostrum to strengthen his country’s alliances, he failed to explain his foreign policy philosophy to the world. He also spoke about the need for global cohesion, but he himself seems to be not paying attention to the path to achieve this goal and continues to pursue arbitrary policies; Like Trump, Biden expects everyone to align themselves with the United States.
Experts attribute the Biden administration’s weaknesses to Washington’s heterogeneous and unreliable foreign policy. “Atlantic” in its report on the reasons for Biden’s persistent mistakes in foreign policy addressed the long history of his misguided approaches from two decades ago and wrote: “There is no single theory in the analysis of this practice.” Either he misunderstands the world or some of his mental characteristics do not go well with him.
According to this analysis, Biden has never been an impressive strategic thinker. Although he has the ability and strengths in the social arena, this does not mean having a strategic approach and a proper understanding of the complexity of historical events and forces.
According to Biden experts in foreign policy, he wants to convince the audience that he knows much more than what he shows. Therefore, it resists the advice of experts and critics. In the field of national security, he lacks some of the most important features needed for governance; Features such as discernment, prudence, the ability to predict future events, having the capacity to make correct decisions based on little or incomplete information, and the tendency to analyze in a changing environment are not seen in Biden. “Simply put, Joe Biden has undesirable reasoning power,” the report said.
This American publication considered one of the important examples of Biden’s wrong decisions in the past as the withdrawal from Iraq under the Obama administration. In the past few months, the number of American troops in Afghanistan has been extremely low and there has been no domestic political pressure to withdraw, but once again Biden’s insistence has pushed the situation into crisis. Biden decided to repeat in Afghanistan what he had done in Iraq; This is because he thought it was better, not because the circumstances forced him to do so.
Experts see a common ground in the foreign policy approaches of the Trump and Biden administrations as the unpredictability of US policies, especially by its allies. Although the two presidents pursue their policies in different ways, in the end the result is costly decisions and US tensions with its closest allies and the isolation of the White House.
