<p>Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote a lengthy op-ed for Foreign Affairs describing the steps that President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration had taken to &#8220;constrain&#8221; adversaries like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran — and it was published on Tuesday, just hours before Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at U.S. ally Israel.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/antony-blinken-americas-strategy-renewal-leadership-new-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blinken&#8217;s article</a>, in addition to suggesting that the U.S. had been at least moderately successful in its efforts to &#8220;constrain&#8221; the world&#8217;s leading exporter of terror, also claimed that Biden&#8217;s efforts &#8220;has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">NEW: In an Op-Ed written by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken which was published today, Blinken writes:</p>
<p>“The Biden administration’s strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago.”<a href="https://t.co/AlQt41qA0v">https://t.co/AlQt41qA0v</a></p>

<p>Blinken went into greater depth regarding the greatest adversaries the U.S. faces — China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran — arguing that Biden&#8217;s efforts to deter their aggression were working.</p>
<p>When Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris first took office, Blinken claimed, &#8220;These countries believed that the United States was in irreversible decline at home and divided from its friends abroad. They saw an American public that had lost its faith in government, an American democracy that was polarized and paralyzed, and an American foreign policy that was undermining the very alliances, international institutions, and norms that Washington had built and championed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Blinken went on to claim that the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022 — which Harris put over the line by casting the tie-breaking vote and which has been tied directly to ballooning inflation and stubbornly elevated prices — led directly to greater climate initiatives and more American jobs.</p>

<p>He then argued that Biden had pushed back on China forcefully but without compromising trade relations and that the administration had kept pressure on Putin by extending the New START Treaty.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were similarly clear-eyed when it came to Iran and North Korea,&#8221; Blinken continued. &#8220;We increased diplomatic pressure and strengthened the U.S. military’s force posture to deter and constrain Tehran and Pyongyang. The Trump administration’s unilateral and misguided exit from the Iran nuclear deal freed Tehran’s nuclear program from its confinement, undermining the security of the United States and its partners. We demonstrated to Iran that there was a path back to a mutual return to compliance — if Iran was willing to take it—while maintaining a robust sanctions regime and our commitment that Iran will never be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hours after Blinken&#8217;s article was published, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, bringing to mind comments made a year ago by Biden&#8217;s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Sullivan claimed in late September of 2023 that the Middle East was &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-biden-adviser-bragged-of-quiet-middle-east-one-week-before-hamas-attacked-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quieter than it had been in two decades</a>&#8221; — and eight days later, Iran-backed Hamas terrorists breached the border from Gaza into Israel. They slaughtered more than 1200 people and kidnapped hundreds more — some of whom are still being held hostage in Gaza.</p>
