I'm not getting anything interesting from this article. It doesn't connect any dots.

Is Joe Biden near the end of his political life? Well, yeah, he is very old. I'll be surprised if he makes it through his second term.

Did Hunter Biden benefit from his political connections to get on the board of Burismo? Probably. Is that wrong? Yes, it is wrong in the same way that all rich people and politicians of all stripes find ways to benefit themselves, their friends and relatives, using money and influence.

Was it wrong for America to support the overthrow of the Russian puppet government in Ukraine? No. Was it wrong to advocate to get rid of Viktor Shokin? Seemingly not. Everyone except Russia wanted to get rid of him. Ukrainians seem pretty enthusiastic about shrugging off Russian influence.

So, I'm struggling to see why I should care about Hunter Biden in particular. It seems like a generic case of benefitting from his connections and surname. But who was harmed?
