Biden: Most qualified for "the moment we are in," a perilous moment for America and the globe...

Yes, the foreign policy/relations experience that Joe Biden brings is unique to him alone. He's the only candidate with hands-on experience in FP and has working relationships with many of the world's leaders and diplomats.

As I've said before, this is no small thing. You can talk about foreign policy, you can bring in experienced people but there's nothing as valuable as actually having experience yourself, knowing expectations and limits, how the diplomatic world works (or doesn't), what true statecraft can achieve and how to repair what has been badly damaged. Trump has deliberately hollowed out the State Department and our diplomatic core and put the US and our allies in a perilous position. We need a 180 in that regard as quickly and efficiently as possible. Because as the common dreams headline suggests, we're bending closer to nuclear war with all the bellicose chest-thumping that Trump loves to engage in. Just the other day, he suggested a nuclear solution to Afghanistan, how quickly and effectively he could do it. On the other hand, he wouldn't like to murder 30+ million people. Because joking about millions of deaths in a nuclear drop is just so-o-o funny.

Yeah, we desperately need someone with foreign policy chops. Joe Biden is the man and this is his moment.
