Biden compares Japan to China, RussiaI thought this guy was supposed to be some foreign policy genius, with years of wisdom and experience. How does calling Japan xenophobic and including them in a group with Russia and China aid our foreign policy issues in the South China Sea?

I didn't see this coming but in many ways, Biden has been worse than Trump on foreign relations.
Granted, it's true that Japan's economic growth is being stunted by their biases towards immigration. But there are better ways for him to make such a point without offending our ally.

January 6! Trump! Abortion! Trump! Threat to democracy! Trump! 2024, our last election! Trump! Political opponents will be assassinated! Trump! 88 criminal charges! Trump! Concentration camps! Trump!
Biden? Eh, he stutters a little. You ableists ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Don’t be ridiculous I can’t think of a single area in which Biden hasn’t been an enormous improvement and that certainly includes his efforts vis a vis South Korea and Japan

Biden's foreign policy agenda appears to be in disarray to most objective observers.

Don’t be ridiculous I can’t think of a single area in which Biden hasn’t been an enormous improvement and that certainly includes his efforts vis a vis South Korea and Japan Where to begin? How about Biden’s eminently successful withdrawal from Afghanistan? How about Biden’s enrichment of Iran, which had been identified as a state sponsor of terrorism in 1984, to the tune of $150B? How about Biden waiving sanctions on the Nordstream 2 pipeline project that allowed Russia to increase its energy dominance over Europe? How about when Biden told the world that it would be all right if Putin didn’t take “too much” of Ukraine? Putin didn’t invade Ukraine when Trump was president. Hamas didn’t attack Israel when Trump was president.

About the only thing that Biden has been better than Trump in, is that he isn't Trump.

Biden's foreign policy agenda appears to be in disarray to most objective observers. Because your statement was preposterous Trump repeatedly called our alliance with South Korea into doubt and his abrupt withdraw from the TPP made the US look unreliable and undercut a trade treaty designed, in no small part, to serve a check against China's growing hegemony in the region. Biden on the other hand has not only worked to repair that alliance but has strengthened it including the historic Japan/South Korea rapprochement
Japan, South Korea, U.S. Strengthen Trilateral CooperationUS plans trilateral summit with Japan, South Korea in July, Japanese media reportKishida cracks jokes and invokes ‘Star Trek’ as he and Biden toast US-Japan alliance at state dinner
Biden says US support for Philippines, Japan defense ‘ironclad’ amid growing China provocationsLook at the leadership Biden has shown in the NATO alliance now stronger than it has been in more than a decade and with Sweden and Finland now a part - a giant strategic loss for Putin. Look at the way Biden and his team have led a 40 nation coalition to supply Ukraine through the Ramstein process Sorry, just his work to strengthen our traditional alliances alone puts him light years above Trump. I get it, you don't like him, but don't be ridiculous
