oe Biden’s record on major foreign policy defies the law of averages. It seems almost impossible to have been wrong time after time on the big questions.

For the same reason that LBJ couldn’t deal with Vietnam. In his years in the Senate, there wasn’t anything that couldn’t be negotiated or bribed into existence. In North Vietnam, he found fanatic people who had nothing to lose and were completely convinced that they could win. He tried threats, he tried negotiation, he tried truces, he tried bribery. It all failed. He was dealing with third-world communists, not Republicans or Democrats.
What was Biden’s first reaction? Negotiate, offer bribes, make useless noises about “do you know who you’re messing with?”. Not gonna work.
