Biden finally finished a week of summits and diplomatic pageantry, but did any of it matter?

Until America decides what kind of country it wants to be, it cannot be a true force for international stability. And that's not happening anytime soon.
A week of summits, diplomatic pageantry and media blitzes ended when Joe Biden climbed the stairs onto Air Force One at Geneva airport. "I did what I came to do," the US President said, after warning Vladimir Putin to halt cyberattacks on American infrastructure and making clear that he didn't want a new Cold War but would firmly defend US interests and values.Over and over at a confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Democratic senators confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about controversial comments they said he had made in the past. And over and over, President Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of health and human services either denied having said those things or said he wasn’t sure he had said them.
Investigators are intensifying their search into what caused the collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, with recovery crews still working to pull wreckage from the Potomac River and initial concerns already raised about the path of at least one of the aircraft.
