A Joe Biden Foreign Policy

Watching television without my glasses last night i thought how amazing our scientists are to be able to dress up a gorilla in a suit and get them to dance to YMCA but once i put my glasses on i saw it was Donald Trump on another of his national 'lets give all my supporters Coronavirus' campaigns.
There is lots of things we can say about Donald Trump but he is one of only a handful of American Presidents who has not taken his nation to war during his time in the White House.
Now with America waking up to just how much of a disaster he has been, the smart money seems to be on Joe Biden sending Trump and his equally ridiculous family out of the White House but nobody seems to know much about what a Biden Presidency will mean for the rest of the World.
What he does inside America borders we don't care about although it would be a fair assumption that it will be better than what has been going on there for the last four years but what about his foreign policy?
The Joe Biden website states he would make the use of force a last resort and not the first which is a good start and will end the wars in Afghanistan and the Middle East including withdrawing American support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
He also says he will make up with NATO, re-sign the Iran nuclear deal, negotiate new arms control arrangements with Russia and rejoin the Paris Climate Accord on day one.
I could see no mention of ending one of the greatest long running sores which is Palestine but he does say he will sustain an ironclad commitment to Israel’s security which means the genocide of the Palestinians will continue with American approval which is the only minus point i can see in his foreign policy but it seems that all wannabe Presidents have to agree to funding the Israeli atrocities to keep the whack-a-doodle faithful onside.
All in all, a Biden Presidency will go some way to redo much of what Trump has undone but the largest surprise is that their are a large enough number of voters without the required amount of working braincells in America to even make it a contest.
