I hope you remember this fiasco:
Blinken: I press Saudis on LGBTQI issues ‘in every conversation’ https://t.co/yLWAtwKaSc via @politico

Joe Biden is widely believed to be the single worst leader in US history.
But we should not discount the role Antony Blinken has played.
The US is totally falling back on the world stage at a rate no one ever could have imagined a couple years ago, and Blinken is doing nothing at all, other than whine about gay sex and other “human rights” palaver.

Blinken heads to Saudi Arabia amid strained ties, Israel normalization in mind https://t.co/Yc9sBe8xp7

The aims of the trip include regaining influence with Riyadh over oil prices, fending off Chinese and Russian influence in the region, and nurturing hopes for an eventual normalization of Saudi-Israeli ties.
Sorry neocons, but that ship had sailed a long time ago. When Saudi Arabia embraced China, they made a deal with Iran, and they gave up on the Israel thing.
The only thing the US ever had to offer was war and debt.
China offered peace and trade and China won.
The world knows that the US is the war country, the globo-homo country.
The idea that they care about people is laughed at by everyone.
