“#Nevertheless, Xi persisted \u2014 with Biden’s support<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, what does it mean when a phone doesn\u2019t ring? This philosophical chestnut recurs whenever a new American president phones his allies and clients or, if you\u2019re Joe Biden, when the calls are to your deepest frenemy Benjamin Netanyahu or your ex-friend and now quasi-enemy Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n

Now and then, you are reminded that the Khomeinis and Khameneis, and the Osama bin Ladens, too, have a point. America\u2019s politicians are decadent and feckless. They substitute image for reality, and when it goes wrong, they pretend it never happ<\/a>ened. Everything about Joe Biden is false, from his teeth to the random musings that float past them. The whole world sees this, but we are enjoined not to by an administration that drifted into office on a cloud of fantasy, puffed up by a largely complicit media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBiden confronts China\u2019s Xi in first call,\u201d reports Politico. Biden couldn\u2019t \u201cconfront\u201d a cheese sandwich without a side order of denture paste.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn first call with Xi since election, Biden warns him on human rights,\u201d reports The New York Times. That\u2019s a \u201cwarning\u201d on \u201chuman rights\u201d abuses that Xi says aren\u2019t happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night, I was on the phone for two straight hours with Xi Jinping,\u201d Biden announced to the press on Thursday, as though boasting of the bladder strength of a younger man. \u201cWe don\u2019t get moving, they\u2019re going to eat our lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n

But America\u2019s lunch was long since served to China, and Biden was a consistent supporter of serving it. What\u2019s coming next is the tab. This, as is traditional, will be paid by ordinary Americans and other suckers.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post gets it right, if only by accident: \u201cBiden has first call as president with Xi Jinping.\u201d It\u2019s Biden who\u2019s now the weaker party, ringing up to petition for favors so he can confirm his false view of reality, and the false impressions that his domestic media are pushing. Substituting fiction for reality is, of course, a sure and short path to disaster. And it is the path we are on.<\/p>\n

For similar reasons of image, Biden \u2014 or the handlers who compose his cue cards \u2014 is sending a signal by not sending a signal to Netanyahu. The message is that the Obama days are back. Netanyahu is in for trip<\/a>le-time on the naughty step, first for denouncing Obama\u2019s Iran deal to Congress in 2015, again for going on play dates with that nasty Donald Trump, and yet again for making up with the Gulf monarchies.<\/p>\n

Who are the intended recipients of this infantile theatrical? Not Netanyahu. He won\u2019t have expected anything less, given how he\u2019s behaved \u2014 and how Obama, Biden and Hillary Clinton behaved toward Israel during the Obama years. He doesn\u2019t care, and with deepening ties to Russia, China and his new Sunni Arab allies, he doesn\u2019t need to care.<\/p>\n

Not the leaders of the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan, who risked a lot by opening relations with Israel, just as the US always wanted them to \u2014 only to have the Biden administration begrudgingly acknowledge that it was prepared to let these peace deals stand. They care less and less too. Everyone in the region knows that America is finished, and that Russia and China are the foreign powers to watch.<\/p>\n

The intended recipients are the Democrats\u2019 new allies, the zealots of the American media and the mullahs of the Iranian regime. The trauma of the Trump reality shock has welded most American media to the Democrats. They care intensely that Biden issues a symbolic rebuff to Netanyahu, because all they care about is that their side wins the domestic war of images. Reality \u2014 the reality of America\u2019s collapsing position in the Middle East and western Asia, the reality of a collapsing polity at home \u2014 means nothing. They don\u2019t care about the national interest: They care about proximity to power.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration can do no wrong in the media\u2019s eyes, unless it\u2019s on matters of racial or gender \u201cequity.\u201d Even then, no one complained that the first recipients of Biden\u2019s slurred wisdom were the leaders of Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany and France. Biden was telephonically privileging a bunch of white men and Angela Merkel. We were told this was how serious diplomacy is done.<\/p>\n

This, like most of what the media tells us about the Biden administration, is nonsense. Serious diplomacy is done with people who don\u2019t like you. People like Benjamin Netanyahu, who accurately sees Joe Biden as a blowhard and a fool. People like Ali Khamenei of Iran, who doesn\u2019t care when the call comes, because he already knows that, one way or another, Biden will give him everything he wants, whether he wants to or not. People like Xi Jinping, who surely cannot believe his luck that Donald Trump, the first president since the Korean War to give China a hard time, has been replaced by Hunter Biden\u2019s semi-senile father.<\/p>\n

The world is saying goodbye to America. Americans should understand that this means that they too will be saying goodbye to America. Dream on.<\/p>\n
