Just more Biden foreign policy failure on display. Jimmy Carter cab die a happy man knowing that he no longer ranks as the worst President, the baton has been passed to Joe Biden.
From Biden's disdain of the Abraham Accords to his 'little incursion' remark in early 2022 which lead to the Ukrainian conflict, to the recent China-Saudi-Iran agreement, and today's Iranian drone attack on an American base, and so much more we can add this.
Inept isn't a strong enough word for Biden's foreign policy.

North Korea on Friday announced it had successfully tested a new weapons class, a nuclear underwater unmanned vehicle, or UUV, designed to take down targets with a radioactive tidal wave.
The UUV is designed to take out enemy ports or naval formations with the powerful, radioactive waves it generates upon detonation, North Korea stated. The timing of the test, the latest in a string of missile launches since the start of 2022, adds to an already tense time for Washington and Seoul on the divided Korean Peninsula, coming just before the arrival of the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Nimitz here next week.
The Haeil, in development since 2012, was named at North Korea’s 2021 Workers’ Party Congress, state media said, the first congress held after President Biden took office.
Former President Donald Trump had thrice met with Mr. Kim in an effort to strike a denuclearization deal, but the personal diplomacy broke down and Mr. Biden has not sought to revive it.
...
Mr. Panda cautioned about taking Pyongyang’s claims for the new Haeil at face value.
“I tend to take North Korea seriously, but can’t rule out the possibility that this is an attempt at deception/psyop,” he yweeted. It “would be ill-advised [for North Korea] to allocate limited [fissile materials] for a warhead to go on this thing … vs. more road-mobile ballistic missiles.”
Mr. Lankov differs, saying some features of a new UUV would be easier to manage: “They don’t have to worry about reentry vehicles, atmospheric pressures and so on. This is easier than ballistic missiles.”
Asymmetric excellence
Despite the doubts, North Korea has successfully tested ICBMs capable of hitting the continental U.S. since 2017. It has also test-detonated six nuclear devices, though the extent of its fissile material stockpile remains secret.
And it is skilled in underwater operations. North Korea’s small submarines, operating close to the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas, have proven credible and deadly threats.
