It’s very hard for me to express how weird and I think how destructive Vice-President Kamala Harris was in Poland.
When she’s asked a question about Ukrainian refugees and she breaks up laughing and turns to the president of Poland and says, “Well, you know, a friend in need is a friend, indeed.”
I know from sources who have been ambassadors throughout Europe that the impact on a sense that the United States is not a serious country, the degree to which the Europeans watch this kind of performance and just have a sense of, “how can they possibly rely on us?” And what it’s doing is it’s creating an opening for China.
I would not be at all surprised to see the Chinese become the ultimate arbiters of the Ukrainian Russian war, and the people who ultimately end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Because, while people understand that the Chinese are a dictatorship and that the Chinese Communist Party dominates and owns the country, nonetheless they see them as stable and as serious people. And by contrast, they increasingly see the Biden administration and Vice-President Harris as totally lacking in reliability and as people that you wouldn’t want to depend on or risk… believe that their guarantee meant anything because they just seem so flighty and so shallow and so lacking in seriousness.
I think this is… much more than politics. This is a real problem for the United States and the world and has historic, not just political consequences.
