Biden's Colossal Failure in the Middle East: How the U.S. Position Is Weakening in Global Politics

<p>Biden just landed from a multi-day tour in the Middle East where he &nbsp;spectacularly failed at his goals, including bringing more Arab &nbsp;countries into an alliance with Israel and bringing the price of oil &nbsp;down. This week, Russian President Putin is meeting with Iranian &amp; &nbsp;Turkish leaders including Supreme Leader Khamenei and President &nbsp;Erdogan--showing that Iran and Russia are not as isolated as Biden makes &nbsp;them out to be. U.S. influence is declining, but will U.S. officials &nbsp;change their approach?</p> <p>Brian is joined by Professor Mohammad &nbsp;Marandi.
