What Will Be The Impact Of The U.S. Midterms On U.S. Foreign Policy?
NBC News
WNU Editor: I can say with confidence that if there was any hope in some foreign capitals that the US midterm elections would signal a change in US foreign policy .... sighhhh .... those hopes were all but extinguished this morning.
Bottom line.
The US midterm elections results were not a repudiation of President Biden's foreign policies or decisions. I would even say that for a majority of Americans it was not even on their top 10 issues of concern.
The debacle and surrender in Afghanistan. The war in Ukraine. Growing tensions with China. Worsening tensions with North Korea. The fracturing of the global order into multi-polar blocs that are hostile to US interests. The weaponization of the US dollar's status as the world's global reserve currency. All of these issues were not raised, debated, or discussed.
What this means is that there will be no personnel changes or changes in policies when it comes to the Pentagon and national security issues, imposing financial and economic sanctions as a tool of US foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, and raising tensions against China.
My biggest worry is that there are probably some in the White House who will see the elections results as a green-light to double down on their policies.
What this means is even more support and involvement, maybe even direct involvement, in the war in Ukraine. The weaponization of the dollar. A more aggressive posture against China. And an even more aggressive approach towards countries like Saudi Arabia to not divert away from the American sphere of influence as they try their best to distance themselves away from Washington DC (i.e. Saudi Crown Prince Salman meeting Chinese President Xi next month to foster closer ties).
I do not see any lessening of tensions in 2023. In fact. I see it becoming far worse as the US does what it feels it must do to maintain its status as the world's global super-power.
