What’s worse? A mechanized war of conquest in Europe with the prospect of thermonuclear weapons parked in orbit over the United States and an illiberal coalition of near-peer competitors, rogue states, and their terrorist proxies — all of which are bent on putting an end to the age of American dominance by force? Or bad weather? According to Joe Biden, it’s the latter.
Of course, statements like these are designed for the exclusive consumption of the Democratic Party’s most blinkered donors, whose largess insulates them from the world’s most acute crises. It’s probably a little foolish to parse a statement designed only to flatter the pretensions of the Left’s most effete parochialists. But why not?
