China can't afford to make lowly Russia its primary customer with its economy smaller than Italy's or even Florida's. They can pay a little lip service but let's be real, they need us as much as ever.

Also, we export more than commodities, we export culture. Why do you think computer languages are in English and English is the international language, never Russian or Chinese. We invent the software the world runs on. We set the trends and standards in music, film, TV and entertainment. We bring the images of the glory of the Universe and go to space like it's commuting. We provide the GPS that runs everything. We create and distribute the cures for diseases. The list goes on.

Joe Biden is an optimist, not a warmonger. He stands on principles and he is decisive based on experts, not seat of the pants. He delegates well and he works all day. You can't ask for much more. Yes, there is uncertainty in any action or inaction.
