US President Joe Biden has finally fallen to the ground before entering the race for the upcoming presidential term. With only a few months left of his tenure, Biden will be unable to make any major political decisions and will focus only on day-to-day matters, as the value of a defeated horse diminishes. Therefore, it can be said that in the coming months, the world will clearly see the perspective of the newly-elected administration in the American policies. Biden’s tenure has not been good for the world or Americans themselves. During Biden’s presidency, his hypocritical mentality and power-hungriness were evident, and he was incapable of making independent decisions. Two notable wars during his tenure were the Ukraine war and Israel’s aggression on Gaza, both of which inflicted pain on humanity. The responsibility for these wars falls on Joe Biden and his administration. Biden pushed Russia-Europe relations to the point of no return due to his stubbornness, which devastated Europe’s progress. The energy crisis in Europe crippled its economy, as Russia was a major supplier of gas and oil to Europe before the Ukraine war.
Economic impact on Europe
1. Energy crisis:
- Approximately 40% of the European Union’s gas needs were met by Russian gas. Germany, Italy, France, and the Netherlands were dependent on Russian gas, and about 30% of the EU’s oil needs were met by Russian oil.
- The reduction in trade relations with Russia caused supply chain disruptions, shortages of essential goods, and increased costs.
