Joe Biden, the 46th White House resident
Tags: President, Joe Biden, United States, United Nations

When George W. Bush or Bush Jr. was elected President of the United States with a narrow majority in 2000, the world was amazed that even a seemingly stupid person could become the President of the United States. It was common for people to think that this was the fault of the American system, and that Bush Jr. would not be re-elected president, but Bush started two major wars.

One in Afghanistan and the other in Iraq, yet he was re-elected President of the United States in 2004. Bush Jr.’s eight years were disastrous for the world, and his re-election made it clear that his first victory was just it was not a coincidence that a large number of Americans believe in the right-wing conservatism and nationalism of the Republican Party.

Similarly, when the US presidential election in 2016 made Donald Trump the President of the United States, once again the world and a large number of the American people were in the Senate wondering what this semi-crazy man would do, but the way Bush Jr. was elected. There was no accident, nor was the election of Trump an unintentional mistake of the American people, but a deliberate decision. Had it not been so, Trump would not have received more than 70 million votes in the November 3, 2020 presidential election. Remember that this is the second largest number of votes cast for a candidate in the history of the US presidential election.

In the recent election, Trump won 47 percent of the total votes cast, a little less than half, and won 24 of the 50 U.S. states or provinces, including states such as Florida and Texas. Nor is it true that Trump’s actions during his four years in office have been hidden from anyone. The American people, whether blind or deaf, saw and heard everything and still voted for Trump in such large numbers.

In fact, perhaps the biggest flaw of the US presidential electoral system is that there have been people elected who have won less popular or popular votes, but because the state vote is higher, it is possible to win on that basis. What happens is that states with large populations have more popular and electoral votes, but in the larger states, if a candidate wins with a 51% majority, all the electoral votes go to the successful candidate.

Which makes it possible for even the less popular voters across the United States to become president thanks to more electoral votes. In the 2016 US election, Hillary Clinton won three million more popular votes than Trump, and now this is the first time that a president has lost the race twice in a row. Trump’s era will be remembered not only for that. He took harmful steps on a global scale and even made bizarre statements. For example, he said that even if he shot someone, it would not affect his vote bank. Just think if a reasonable person can make such a statement. But many people liked his aggressive temperament.

In the recent election, Joe Biden outperformed Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, leading to his victory. People in those states were probably tired of Trump’s attitudes and actions. That’s why he choseJoe Biden. Then Trump made openly racist statements. For example, he did not condemn those who believed in the white majority, but told them to be prepared. In this way, Trump kept boasting and constantly praising himself and repeatedly saying that he is the most intelligent, then also mentioning various conspiracies which probably did not exist.

Even during the defeat, President Trump did not show any courtesy, but instead made claims about fraud without evidence and demanded justice, then he kept tweeting in various ways trying to raise points about legal and illegal votes. He continued to do so and then announced that he had won the election.

He then claimed that he had received 70 million votes. Trump also objected to the fact that millions of people had been sent ballot papers by post to cast their ballots. Those who did not even ask for it. It seems that the deaths due to corona virus in the United States also played an important role in the defeat of President Trump and people were not happy with his management. Corona has killed 230,000 people in the United States so far, the highest number in the world.

A key factor in President Biden’s victory was Biden’s ability to present himself as a candidate who was free from controversy and who was well-liked. Biden has been in politics for the past 50 years. During this time his reputation has been very good overall. Then people got out of the trap of Trump’s “change” that he would make America a great country again.

Trump painted a picture of the United States that showed the whole country was devastated that only Trump could fix, but under his presidency the middle and lower classes were more affected. People like Trump himself They don’t change, they don’t learn anything from the situation, they just keep reciting the same mantra that I will do it, I will do it, but I can’t do anything, only a few

They learn something from the situation and keep reciting the same mantra that I will do it, they will do it, but they don’t get anything except a few showy examples, then they can’t even tolerate those who disagree with them, on their own. Suffering from constant conflict, but unwilling to admit that they have the potential, or the people they have gathered around them.

Although Trump has performed relatively well in terms of the country’s economy, it is not right to measure the economy as a whole. For example, under most military dictators, the overall state of the economy looks better. Involved in other factors beyond the capacity of dictators such as Chilean dictator Yipnoshe and Pakistan’s military rulers General Zia-ul-Haq and Musharraf’s economic performance was relatively better, but later it was found that it was artificially and During his tenure, the country’s social taropod has been severely damaged.

Historically, Republican presidents have plunged the world into more wars. For example, President Reagan, with the help of General Zia-ul-Haq, plunged Pakistan into the Afghan war, the losses of which we are still suffering. The Kalashnikov culture and heroin culture in the country also began during this period. Then Republican President Bush Jr., along with General Musharraf, pushed Pakistan into another Afghan war, the devastating effects of which are still being felt. The Republican Party has promoted conservatism around the world, including in Pakistan, and has sided with undemocratic forces. If a military dictator follows their lead, they have no problem with how democratic rights are being violated there. As President Reagan and Bush both seniors and juniors did.

Interestingly, the US system does not allow a president to be elected more than twice, which means that if Trump wants, he can try to run for president again in 2024. But for that, he will have to go through the stages of the Republican Party again. Another decisive role in President Biden’s victory was played by his vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.

She managed to get not only women’s votes but also a large number of Indian votes. The vice presidency is all the more important because Biden is now 78 years old and Kamala Harris could emerge as a suitable presidential candidate after his presidency. For him, being of Indian descent would mean a lot to Indian Americans, even though Joe Biden had tried to run for president three times. In the third attempt, he not only became a candidate but also hit the field. Then Trump’s unscientific attitude also helped Biden. Trump has openly questioned scientifically proven facts. For example, he himself continued to spread suspicions about the corona virus.

The anger of black people after the death of George Floyd also played an important role. There were a number of demonstrations in response to which Trump took a more aggressive stance, while Biden took a more cautious stance. Even during the election campaign, Biden looked more fresh than Trump. Not only did Trump appear tired, but he also acted recklessly and continued to use abusive language, which benefited Biden.

During his four-year presidency, Trump emerged as a president who fueled chaos and widened racial and economic divisions in society, while Biden emerged as a calm figure. Biden did not nominate a candidate for the vice presidency who was relatively left-leaning, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. In comparison, Kamala Harris is considered relatively mild. Biden also distanced himself from Trump’s unscientific approach to the environment and climate change, and took the position of Bernie Sanders, which increased his popularity. Biden will form his own team and announce his cabinet before he becomes president, although the president has every right to nominate his own candidate for the top job.

But many senior positions require Senate approval, with the president’s nominees appearing before Senate committees and being interviewed, then appointed or rejected by referendum. By the way, the first speech after Biden’s election victory has made a good impression. He has spoken of uniting the nation. Anyway, he got the most votes in US history with about 75 million votes. There will be a president, the best thing he did was that it is wrong to think of his rivals as enemies. Similarly, Kamala Harris in his speech spoke about healing the wounds of the people and said that ethics and science must be given priority. These are two important things that other countries need to learn from. Kamala Harris is not only the first female vice president but also the first Afro-Asian. His father is of African descent and his mother is of Indian descent.

What can be expected from Biden’s success in different parts of the world? Pakistan

It is expected to play a role in strengthening democratic forces

Former Democratic President Obama did not start a new war in the region, but first increased and then reduced his troop numbers to end the Afghan war. Therefore, President Biden should be expected to play a role in strengthening democratic forces in Pakistan. Will pay It may be recalled that after the fall of General Musharraf, President Obama had provided huge assistance to Pakistan through the Kerry-Lugar Bill, which was for civilian sectors such as education and health, and had almost no military assistance. ۔ Joe Biden should be expected to announce a major aid plan for Pakistan once again, as well as help Pakistan in trade and end Trump’s pressure on Pakistan to secede from the C-Pack.

Afghanistan

Work is expected to be done to restore peace, but also to build and develop it

With regard to Afghanistan, Biden can be expected to work not only to restore peace but also to build and develop it. Earlier, the biggest mistake made by the US President-elect in 1992 was that he had completely separated the US from the affairs of Afghanistan and had not played any role in the development of Afghanistan, even though the Afghan Mujahideen played a major role in it. Biden should not repeat that mistake, and instead of the billions of dollars that the United States has spent on the Afghan war so far, so many dollars if Afghanistan If spent on construction and development, the Taliban threat could be eliminated. The situation is that the Afghan Taliban are attacking Kabul, which is doing less harm to the United States and more harm to the Afghan people.

China

Will Sino-US relations improve and tensions ease?

President Trump was very hostile to China and tried to form a quadripartite alliance with Australia, India and Japan against it. Not only that, but China also opposed the plans launched here by including Pakistan in the C-Pack. Now Biden should be expected to change his attitude towards China and adopt a policy of working together. Will The region does not need a policy in which you are with Yachin or with the United States, but a strategy in which all can work together to contribute to the reconstruction and development of the region.

Trump’s policy of encircling China or imposing sanctions on it must end now. China is not only a major power but also a major player in trade with the United States. The two economies are also heavily dependent on each other. Therefore, it is possible that Biden’s victory will improve Sino-US relations and reduce tensions. In addition, Biden will have to change the US position on human rights in China, although China has a long history in this regard. It’s not good, but America keeps giving concessions to such friends. Who have a history of major human rights abuses. But the United States continues to make a lot of noise about China, and this attitude needs to change.

India

Could there be a reduction in efforts to use India against China?

The United States is unlikely to make a major change in policy towards India after Biden’s arrival, but the way Trump promoted and encouraged Modi can be expected to be avoided. Under Modi’s leadership, Kashmir unilaterally and in violation of the Indian Constitution itself, by announcing its accession to India, ended the special status of occupied Kashmir. In this case, although Biden cannot be expected to drive India out of Kashmir, it is safe to say that the way Trump did not utter a word in condemnation of India, a change in attitude is needed. ۔

Efforts by the US to use India against China should be curtailed. The future of the region lies in good bilateral and neighborly relations. India, Pakistan and China are the real inhabitants and inheritors of the region, not the United States should avoid throwing the region into further war. If the United States withdraws military aid from India, the region is expected to improve relatively but As the United States is the world’s largest arms manufacturing and sales hub, tensions in the region are also being exploited by US arms companies. Both Democrats and Republicans have been similar in this regard, so change is unlikely.

Iran

Hopefully, former President Obama’s agreements will be restored, Iran will be given a chance to return to the world mainstream

Trump also damaged the prospects for peace in the region by ending the deal with Iran. Although the previous Democratic President Obama won the hearts of the Arabs by signing a deal with Iran, it was a good step. The Arab countries do not want sanctions on Iran to be lifted and its people to get out of economic trouble. The Arab countries consider Iran as their enemy and Iran the Arabs, which benefits the United States, because they have billions of dollars in weapons. Sells annually.

It is now expected that Biden will restore former President Obama’s agreements once he becomes president and provide an opportunity to bring Iran back into the global mainstream. However, Biden’s victory has created a better world environment. Trump’s nonsense has hurt the world, and now, as Biden and Kamala Harris have said, Pakistan needs to strike a balance in its relations with China and the United States to heal its wounds and abandon its policy of unconditional support for the Taliban. Have to do In the future of this region, we need modern democratic forces, not medieval thinking and attitudes characteristic of the Taliban.
