Headline story in today's Washington Post:

"The confrontation with Russia over Ukraine. Houthi missile attacks potentially aimed at Americans. North Korea’s latest missile tests. China’s intimidation tactics against Taiwan. These four thorny foreign policy problems don’t have much in common, other than being inherited headaches President Biden confronts at the dawn of his second year in office."

Explain to me please why these are OUR problems? None of them is...are. At age 65, I am still trying not to get involved in solving other people's problems (unless I'm asked to). It is a constant challenge for me. It appears the USA has the same challenge.
