Super power

Many articles have pointed out that Biden's decline in the polls started with the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan but the effect internationally was even more profound. Many feel it was instrumental in Putin's decision to invade Ukraine although this could have been prevented if the US had agreed not to allow Ukraine into NATO. The war started with Russia and Ukraine but quickly expanded as NATO forces led by the US joined in the fray. Right from the start China began buying oil from Russia at discounted prices. This was followed up with military supplies. As NATO sent more arms to Ukraine the Russians started getting help from Iran and North Korea. The mess was seen by Iran as the time to interfere with the attempt by the Abraham Accords to unite the Saudis with Israel and encouraged Hamas to attack Israel. Now we have student protest throughout the country. This is all conjecture but it illustrates the interconnection between countries when one event leads to another. The man in the White House is held responsible for all of this because as Truman said, the buck stops here. When you are the leader of the worlds only super power everything you do and everything you say effects things around the globe.
