Barack Obama once outrageously diminished his office and our nation by bowing when he greeted the Saudi king. Joe Biden is widely expected shortly to repeat such submissiveness –  figuratively, if not literally – when he pleads with the Kingdom’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, for help in lowering oil prices.

Such appalling conduct would be relatively robust, however, compared with the flat-out prostration the U.S. administration is currently doing before the Chinese Communists. Call it “the Biden kow-tow.”

Amidst escalating threats of war emanating from Beijing, Team Biden has been weakening our military, relaxing tariffs on PRC imports and insisting that the Chinese Communist Party is a “competitor,” not an enemy. It has even sold the CCP oil from our hedge against national security-imperiling disruptions in energy supplies: America’s strategic petroleum reserve.

Such appeasement invites not only contempt, but conflict.
