US President Joe Biden. File photoMOSCOW, June 9Former Obama Administration Director of Global Engagement Brett Brune, writing for USA Today, criticized President Joe Biden's «ill-conceived improvisations.» “I cringed when Vice President Joe Biden went to the microphone. Even with all the preparation for the event and for his speeches, we, as members of the National Security Council, never knew what he could say,” the diplomat writes. He notes that «thoughtless jokes» remained a feature of Biden in the new post. Brune also criticized the president's reckless comments on US policy towards Taiwan. At that time, Biden's promise to help Taiwan militarily shook the neutrality maintained by the United States on this issue for many years.The Americans were outraged by Biden's jokes in the midst of the crisisThe diplomat wonders how the American leader can continue to «tread such dangerous territory» and put the lion's share of responsibility for ill-conceived statements on Biden himself. However, Brun also criticizes the presidential security service. The author of the article notes that her employees are well aware of Biden's peculiarities and should better prepare for unforeseen situations. The diplomat concludes that such blunders of the president and his entourage undermined the position of the United States around the world, and expresses fear that the lack of proper diplomatic discipline will result in conflicts for the country with China, Iran, Russia or North Korea. Biden, who turns 80 this year, is the oldest president in US history. His frequent gaffes lead many to suspect that the politician has health problems. The President's slip of the tongue draws the attention of social media users every time, often becoming a reason for ridicule. In early April, he credited the wife of former US President Barack Obama, Michelle, with the position of vice president during the period when he himself was in this position. In addition, Biden repeatedly called Vice President Kamala Harris president, mispronounced the name of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, confused the words «vaccination» and «escalation», as well as Syria with Libya and Iraq with Iran.
