Biden squanders his strategic legacy as the CCP stockpiles for war

As President Biden confers with other leaders this week, the disconnects between his stewardship of our security and steps being taken by our adversaries should be top of mind. Instead, they’re getting scarcely any attention – especially here at home.

Take for example, Biden’s squandering of our strategic petroleum reserves. In a bid to mitigate his policies’ disastrous inflation of energy prices, the President has been selling off a million barrels a day, bringing the reserves to their lowest levels since 1987.

Meanwhile, Communist China has been aggressively building up its stocks of not only oil – including Russian imports, but uranium, rare earth minerals, fertilizers and food. Obviously, doing so reduces the availability of such commodities to others. In stark contrast to Biden’s profligacy, moreover, they are consistent with the CCP’s preparations for kinetic war – and could prove decisive in our defeat.
