Biden Thread

[ReluctantSamurai]

Even were his faculties in order, which now the election is over fewer people will pretend, he will do his utmost to be seen to address issues while actually solving nothing, for his stock were architect to those issues in the first place.

A repeat of the same rubbish that Biden suffers from some sort mental disorder. Didn't work for the GOP during the election campaign, and still doesn't hold water now.

You are certainly entitled to say he will solve nothing. A brash statement to make 2 days into his term. And like any president, Biden himself didn't create the mess that is America today, just like Trump wasn't responsible for the systemic problems we face here, he just amplified them.

As for the protesters....who ever said the far right-wing had a monopoly on riots? There are people at both extremes that want to further their agenda regardless of who's in office (and cast them aside when they don't meet their expectations---just check out what the Proud Boys have to say about their Boy now that he's out of office).

And where was all the tear gas and police in full riot gear for the Capital riot?

What can the West do? 50 years ago when for better or for worse we were the only game in town the IMF can give money with caveats. But no longer is this the only option.

While a military threat from China always lurks in the background, I think most countries are feeling an economic threat, like the EU with their recent investment agreement. Procuring resources and products that are less dependant on China (like what the Aussie's are pursuing), may very well be the norm going forward...
