At a moment President Biden hasn't been seen by anyone – or even photographed – in about a week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday is seeking to assure the public that the president will remain "intensely focused" on work that remains in the next since months, chiefly foreign policy issues. 

Blinken cited Biden's work on "bringing peace to the Middle East and dealing with Russia's ongoing aggression" – though we can imagine the reality is that admin officials and a teams of staffers, and not Biden himself, will be handling these things.

The other dubious statement from Blinken concerned Vice President Harris' supposed foreign policy credentials…

"Blinken, speaking to reporters, said Vice President Kamala Harris has been a leading voice for U.S. foreign policy and diplomacy, adding that she was a very strong, effective and deeply respected voice for the United States around the world," as cited in Reuters.

This begs the question: is she a "deeply respected voice" around the world? A clip of Harris previously weighing in on the Ukraine crisis from 2022 has resurfaced and is going viral. We should look no further than this…

Is this something that Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping respects? Or are they laughing? 

Blinken on Tuesday continued to claim that somehow she's a foreign policy heavyweight. "I’ve seen her not only around the world, but I’ve seen her on the most critical foreign policy questions of our time, in the Situation Room at the White House, at the Oval Office with the president," he told a press briefing. 

And now the endorsements are rolling in from Democratic national security insiders, per The Washington Post:

Let the Democratic deep state's crowning begin.

But Trump actually previously summed up her experience and 'statesmanship' more accurately in the following clip:

But we are being told she is going to "stand up to dictators" and command respect around the world. Perhaps more accurately she would serve as a useful puppet for the Washington foreign policy blob, in continuation of the same ole interventionist and neocon policies which have marked the past couple decades, much like Biden.
