Let's take a simple example of how logically incoherent supposed Biden foreign policy is and the contradictions that will need to be resolved. Biden administration wants to work with allies. (Every Acela Corridor journalist faints like they are at a boy bands concert) 1/n

However, The German Volkswagen Federation of Europe clearly has no interest in challenging China and stated Xinjiang really isn't a problem for them. Add in Biden team criticizing Trump decision to pull more troops from Germany, logically Biden is between a rock and a hard 2/n

Spot. The major European ally you need wants nothing to do with challenging China, in fact is openly doing the opposite, and you want to do nothing but give them more free stuff all while they ignore so the things that are important to you like China and Russia. 3/n

You have given away all your negotiating leverage by saying we want to keep troops there and we aren't going to up sanctions for things like NordStream, and we aren't going to go out own way in China. You've literally left yourself in an unresolvable conundrum. Somewhere 4/n

At least one of those logical inconsistencies must be violated if campaign promises or assurances are too be kept. However, these are the logical cul de sac that Team Biden will need to navigate a way out of.
