- The Biden Administration has created a vacuum of leadership on the global stage.
- If the US further pulls out of Asia, the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East, Ukraine, Latin America — anywhere — the vacuum created will surely be filled by the new axis of China-Russia-Iran. A US pull-out is, most probably, just what they are hoping and waiting for.
- If Putin sees any gains in Ukraine, China will try to seize Taiwan.
- “We’re sitting still, and the Chinese, the Russians, Iran, North Korea, and several others, are moving to shore up their relations and threaten us in a lot of different places… It’s an indication that the Saudis and others are [also] trying to hedge their bets with China and Russia, because they don’t think the United States has the resolve and the fortitude necessary to do what they need to do to protect the world against Iran and its intentions.” — Former US National Security Advisor John R. Bolton, yahoo.com, March 12, 2023.
- “The Chinese have a strategy they’ve been following… We kind of wander around from day to day.” — John R. Bolton, yahoo.com, March 12, 2023.
- Thanks to the lack of leadership and the vacuum that the Biden administration has created — and appears continuing to create — on the global stage, the new axis of Iran-China-Russia has been shaped with Beijing, Moscow and the ruling mullahs — rather than the brutalized people of Iran. The Axis is seizing leadership of the new world order, or — if the world’s communists manage to defeat the world’s democrats, as they seem tenaciously determined to do — it will be, more accurately, the new world disorder.
If the US further pulls out of Asia, the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East, Ukraine, Latin America — anywhere — the vacuum created will surely be filled by the new axis of China-Russia-Iran.

As Winston Churchill famously pointed out, “I never worry about action, but only about inaction”. The Biden administration’s inaction has led to the creation of a new axis of tyrannies: Russia, China and Iran, with North Korea not far behind. As the Tehran Times, which has close ties to Iran’s foreign ministry, wrote: “[T]oday we are witnessing the formation of a new world order….”
Iran, China and Russia recently conducted joint naval exercises in the Sea of Oman, dubbed Marine Security Belt 2023. Iran’s state-controlled Press TV boasted that to oppose the United States, China and Russia have also stepped up their “joint military exercises in recent years as part of their aligning of foreign policies.”

I haven’t seen evidence of this. The Obiden Regime has created a “vacuum” of sorts in AMERICAN leadership; but it actually seems that this has been intentional; especially since the Biden Crime Family is an asset of the Chinese Communist Party.
Those three would like this to happen; and others, such as North Korea, may also like to think of them all as an “axis”. They all certainly have estranged themselves from the West; but they have little cohesion among themselves; and collectively, they are still much weaker, economically and militarily, than the West.
I don’t think what Chairman Xi does is coupled with Russian progress. If he tries to seize Taiwan, it will most likely be to distract the Chinese people from failures in mainland China.
I wish we WERE sitting still. Actually, we seem to be moving full speed astern! (into a dystopian twist on feudalism)
I wish we were. What I see instead, is that the powers that be DEFINITELY have a plan, and have been following it for decades — a plan for their personal gain and our impoverishment. I wish them all the worst.
I think they will try; but won’t succeed. My money is on the Western Elites — until they all end up in the Lake of Fire.
