Joe Biden has been slammed as being “way past his sell-by date” as the errors start to pile up towards the final days of his presidency, security expert Professor Anthony Glees has said.
The latest disaster for Biden, who claims foreign policy is his strong suit, were the scenes of chaos in US-friendly South Korea after President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law in the democratic country for the first time in fifty years. He claimed he made the drastic move to stop “anti-state forces” but, after opposition politicians called it “illegal and unconstitutional”, he embarrassingly reversed the decision.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un would have been delighted by the tumultuous scenes as he cosies up beside Mad Vlad Putin – which is the last thing Biden wants. Prof Glees told the Daily Star foreign policy is now a “millstone round Biden’s elderly neck”.

He said: “America is now facing a massive power vacuum. Biden is increasingly seen as way past his sell-by date and the one thing he always claimed to be good at, foreign policy, is proving to be a millstone round his elderly neck.
“He’s made an (bad word) of himself and his party by granting a pardon to Hunter Biden (the second turkey to be pardoned in a few days); the ‘ceasefire’ in Lebanon he puffed so grandly is indistinguishable from the state of war that preceded it.

“Gaza is still a hell-hole and charnel-house and the hostages have still not been returned. Meanwhile Putin is pulling out all the stops, including other people’s stops, in Ukraine, trying to amass as much territory as he can, whatever the cost, before Trump blows the whistle and freezes the conflict.”
