When President Biden took office, he promised that America was back. But, is that really the case?

The United States’ top diplomat testified on Capitol Hill about his agency’s foreign policy priorities before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken offered a stark and candid view on the global situation.

His testimony comes following Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping publicised their goal for a New World order during their three-day summit in Moscow.

The unholy alliance frightens the United States.

Republicans say President Joe Biden failed to take a stronger stance with China and Russia—especially after a Russian fighter jet downed a U.S. Reaper drone and the Chinese spy balloon incursion over the continental United States.

The top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Marco Rubio, says the fight in Ukraine is more than a proxy war – there are concerns about China’s designs for Taiwan.

China and Russia share similar goals and stand in opposition against western influences.

As their alliance grows deeper, President Xi has invited President Putin to visit China in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, officials at the White House say they’re still working to schedule a phone call between President Biden and President Xi.
