BIDEN

We no longer live in a bipolar world. There are constant geopolitical shifts and it is not at all clear that democracies have the upper hand.

As Biden underlined in his address to the UN General Assembly yesterday, the return of the US to the global stage is not about military force - “US military power must be our tool of last resort,” he declared.

The US is definitively abandoning its efforts to export democracy and is focusing on its own modernisation in order to avert Chinese geopolitical predominance.

Ankara – as was confirmed by the Biden-Erdogan talks with bilateral relations tattered – will always be viewed as a crucial ally for the West, of which Greece is a part.

One can achieve aims during PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the possible Biden-Mitsotakis meeting.

Does Greece's main opposition party have a solid strategy based on real channels of communication and ties with parties abroad or is it an opportunistic bid by Syriza to avoid collapse?

Domestically, Biden intends to expedite the vaccine rollout and he managed to pass through Congress a 1.9 trillion dollar package to address the economic repercussions of the pandemic.

President Joe Biden’s recognition in precisely articulated language of the Armenian Genocide reflects the birth of a new outlook that is not confined to the realm of geopolitics.

Joe Biden must create the necessary conditions for American citizens to regain their trust in injured institutions, laws, and the achievements of democracy.

'The skirmish two days ago at a Nato foreign ministers’ teleconference between US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu does not alter the facts, nor does it signal a shift in Washington’s stance towards Ankara.'

In this new international backdrop which requires solidarity, cooperation, and the bolstering of democratic institutions the US will unavoidably play a leading role.
