The world stands on the edge of nuclear war, a crisis that might have been prevented if the US had opted for dialogue instead of confrontation.
The US government has often presented itself as a model of diplomacy and stability, yet the foreign policy under the Biden administration reveals a troubling pattern of hubris, aggression, and reckless decisions.
Rather than cultivating peace, key figures like Antony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, James Rubin, and Jake Sullivan have pushed the US closer to World War III through provocative actions towards Russia.
These individuals are established figures, though some may not be as visible as others. For example, Rubin, who has been with Biden since the 1990s and was mentored by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, operates more behind the scenes. Nonetheless, his hawkish approach to diplomacy has clearly influenced the Biden administration's foreign policy.
The escalation of tensions did not start with Joe Biden. Former President Barack Obama and other elites played significant roles in Ukraine’s 2014 Maidan coup, in which the US was involved in the ousting of a democratically elected government that sought to work with Moscow. This interventionist strategy, marked by aggression over the past eight years, has led to widespread destruction, destabilizing Eastern Europe and alienating nations that have historically resisted Western dominance. Under Biden, this perilous path has only intensified.
Take the Minsk agreements, which were intended to provide a pathway to peace in eastern Ukraine. Instead of urging Kiev to comply with its obligations, Washington neglected diplomacy and reinforced its antagonistic stance towards Russia by moving NATO military infrastructure closer to Russia's borders. These actions disregarded years of warnings from experts about the potential repercussions. Furthermore, numerous sanctions aimed at crippling the Russian economy have proven ineffective, as Russia has shown resilience. Its economy now ranks fourth in the world based on purchasing power parity.
The Biden administration has filled its ranks with hawks who prioritize maintaining US dominance over negotiation. Victoria Nuland, the former under secretary of state known for her disparaging comment about the EU during the Maidan crisis, exemplifies the disdain for authentic diplomacy pervasive in Washington. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, known for his rigid approach to international relations, has failed to recognize the importance of compromise. Meanwhile, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan's emphasis on projecting US power undermines long-term global stability. His anti-China rhetoric is also widely recognized. The problematic team surrounding Biden and Obama has contributed to failed diplomacy, the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and perpetual wars.
It is widely acknowledged that Washington has turned Ukraine into a battleground for proxy warfare and a financial playground for firms like Blackrock. General Michael Flynn recently described Ukraine as a significant money-laundering operation for global elites. Biden has directed billions of taxpayer dollars into a military effort aimed not at protecting Ukrainian sovereignty but at undermining Russia, enriching a select few while harming many. This indefensible strategy has heightened the risk of nuclear confrontation to levels not seen since the Cold War. The administration’s focus on escalation over dialogue reflects a troubling disregard for human life, both in Eastern Europe and globally.
The failures of US foreign policy are extensive. By treating Russia like a pariah and dismissing its legitimate security concerns, the Biden administration has inadvertently pushed Moscow to enhance ties with other global powers, particularly China. Moreover, US actions have alienated countries in the Global South, which increasingly view Washington as a source of instability. The BRICS coalition—which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, and the UAE—has emerged as a counterbalance to US dominance, with its members actively rejecting the dollar’s supremacy and the prevailing unipolar world order.
The unfortunate reality is that these escalating tensions could have been avoided. Washington had numerous chances to engage in constructive dialogue with Moscow but opted instead for a dismissive approach, viewing diplomacy as a sign of weakness and framing great power competition as a zero-sum game. In this way, the Biden administration has risked not only the safety of the American populace but also placed the world on the edge of nuclear conflict.
Having witnessed the darker facets of US politics, I understand how an obsession with power can lead to devastation. The foreign policy of the Biden administration isn’t just a misstep; it represents an existential threat.
The pressing question remains: Is there still time to alter this course? The stakes couldn’t be higher. The world doesn’t need additional conflict; it requires leaders focused on peace and stability, rather than reaping profits from war. Thus far, Russian President Vladimir Putin has exhibited patience. As he has often reiterated, Russia does not seek conflict with NATO or the US, but how many more of Russia’s boundaries will be crossed? The clock is ticking until President-elect Donald Trump assumes office, potentially bringing a revised foreign policy approach. Until then, we are all living on borrowed time.
