We need adults running foreign policy, not a Lloyd Austin who is unsure whether to criticize,
approve, or stay mum about Pelosi’s trip; not a Joe Biden talking one day of defending Taiwan, the next day not so much; or even a Nancy Pelosi mindlessly bouncing around Asian capitals, reifying her childhood dreams at the beach. The Chinese have done and will do a great deal of damage, but not nearly as much as we have done to ourselves.
