President Joe Biden faces challenges on the foreign front with Russia, China, Afghanistan, North Korea and Iran posing threats to world stability.
Russia has assembled more than 100,000 troops on the eastern border of Ukraine. Having already annexed Crimea in 2014, Latimer Putin’s expansionism ambition appears to be the driving force for the latest military buildup.
China has been violating Taiwan’s airspace with its warplanes and has expressed its desire for reunification with Taiwan. Also, its military buildup by creating islands in the South China Sea is ongoing.
After President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in Aug. of 2021 that resulted in a suicide bomber killing and wounding American soldiers along with more than 100 Afghans, Afghanistan has become a hotspot for terrorists once again.
North Korea continues to test its ballistic missiles, and despite the diplomacy that President Donald J. Trump attempted by becoming the first U.S. President to step foot into North Korea since the Korean War, little reduction of the tension has been achieved.
As for Iran, the nation that has earned the reputation of being the world’s No. 1 backer of terrorist organizations, the U.S. departure from Afghanistan has left one of its borders open to aid terrorists without the opposition that the U.S. previously provided.
Also, Iran has increased its capability of developing a nuclear bomb, has attacked U.S. positions in Iraq and has continued to call for death to the U.S., the Big Satan, and Israel, the Little Satan.
President Biden, the leader of the free world who is facing the highest inflation since 1982, a distribution crisis of gigantic proportions, a southern border crisis, a national spike in the crime rate and a legal struggle over his COVID-19 mandates on the homefront, most likely will be tested during 2022 by one or more of the five nations whose leaders oppose democracy while favoring autocratic rule.
