US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

 

[XYZpdq]

Hauntingly beautiful.

that's what plays when Brandon seriouses the fuck up at the midseason cliffhanger

 

[Mr. Bung]

People like to overestimate the US strength, even now after Afghanistan and I'm not sure why.

Afghanistan isn't really a good example though. So many powerful nations have tried to conquer it and failed. Seems the irony is that stone age societies are unconquerable by modern societies.

 

[Only A Retard Sometimes]

That can be laid solely at the feet of Biden and Milley. Then again the military were acting insubordinate to Donald Trump's demands to withdraw so whatever.

even with all that the Air force managed to get 120,000 people (supposedly) out of a airport that was under siege. Now i dont think that we should have saved a single one of them but as a demonstration of logistical ability its fantastic.

You can't bomb someone back the Stone Age who like living in the Stone Age.

 

[Snekposter]

American capital ships being sunk leads to someone getting beaten like a rented mule.

How the fuck did I miss this? For anyone doubting this, go ring up Japan and ask them how blowing up the USN at Pearl went for them. Oh wait, Hirohito, master of understatement to put the British to shame, already said it best: "The war situation has not necessarily progressed to Japan's advantage."

It's because we don't adapt to fight them on their level. They don't care about bombs.

Same shit the VC would pull. We could out guerilla them from time to time, but mostly kept trying to bomb dudes on bikes.

They fucked up when they got cocky and decided to put on uniforms, however.

Yeah the VC basically ceased to exist as a effective fighting force after the Tet offensive. they got BTFO so hard the NVA had to outright replace them.

The Tet offensive was a great psychological victory for them. A bunch of rice farmers basically destroyed talking points of the government that war was winnable and stuff was under control.

Turns out it's hard to win when you're actively trying not to win.

 

[blackmarketbaby]

OK, so they sink a carrier in the opening phases.

I think we'll be OK.

Now, add in that we have a dozen or so carriers just sitting there, in places like Bremerton, mothballed and turnkey'd.

They sink one of ours, there will be a moment of "You did what?" and then the US comes wading back in.

Even if we lost four taking out their two, once those two are gone, they're gone. The rest of the US Fleet will jump up and down on the rest of their shitty fleet like power-ups are going to pop out of their burning ships, meanwhile we're doing offshore bombardment on their shitty coastal cities, since that's primarily what China is. Those islands get mowed under by the Marines actually making the first amphibious landing they've done in nearly a century, backed up by the Navy, and after that, well...

The trick is to retaliate without eating a nuke on CONUS.

Of course, once that happens, it'll go from 1.2 billion Chinamen to a couple dozen million, and nothing of value will be lost. Russia can roll in and take up what isn't radioactive, and the world is a better place.

I think a lot of people under-estimate the US military strength because since 1991 we haven't really flexed at all.

If everyone looks at Afghanistan and Iraq as how it will go fighting against an actual nation state with population, industry, infrastructure, and politicians, that's like looking at a deer being hit by a VW and saying that the same deer would cave in the front of a high speed frieght train.

It doesn't work.


In the three year Korean War, an estimated 3 million Koreans died, mostly civilian, and killed nearly 1 million Chinese troops. The US lost almost 34,000 service members and more than 105,000 were wounded.

A roughly 29 to 1 K/D rate.

And that was with a surprise attack in the middle of logistics problems in the middle of winter for the surprise attack.

Big reminder the U.S.A competes with itself. Not you.

 

[Gehenna]

We are at this point in less than nine months. God only knows how much worse things will get.

A few snippets I found this morning...

You really need to provide context on where you find these. If it's "Floating around normie social media" then yes, it indicates something. If it is not then this fella:

Again these are all conservative talking heads and opinion writers. How does this prove in any way that moderates and normies are turing on Biden?

Is entirely correct.

One question, HOW?

Political billboard advertising, by federal law, cannot be denied so long as it's not vulgar or otherwise untoward. "Lets go Brandon" is such a wonderful thing in that everyone knows what it means, but has nothing vulgar in it. By the way, that law was passed under Clinton.

Biden has absolutely not confronted Xi over Taiwan and I don't understand what he has to gain by lying about doing so.

I will break with everyone else and say he's not lying. Lying implies a deliberate deciet. More likely, it's Dementia. You see, once Dementia advances your memory becomes like a powerpoint show with half the slides missing. So he remembers that call with Xi in September and thinks it was last week.

If you were to actually believe all of Posobiec's claims of insider information it would make him the most valuable source of intel on the fucking planet. He knows what goes on between Harris and Biden in secret meetings, he knows what goes on in the upper echelons of the Chinese government and their future military strategies - the United States doesn't need the CIA, just this guy's hot twitter takes.

I did some digging on this. While I of course can't just call him up and out his source, I can correlate his accurate claims with WH staff to some degree. I am of the opinion he has some inroads to the cleaning staff, a few Secret Service men, and generally the 'help'. The people that are everywhere but are ignored, especially when you have Joe Biden who infamously likes to yell at people.

These people give him tidbits, which he combines with more solid sources in congress and the general political crowd, and draws conclusions from there.

Vietnam was 10-1 KDR. That was lost as well.

The big difference being that the Republic of Vietnam no longer exists, while the Republic of Korea still does.

 

[Gehenna]

On topic to a Taiwan v China war and U.S. involvement. The big difference between it and Korea or Vietnam is that it'd be a defensive war, where the U.S. has to reinforce and assist another country rather than trying to hold on to an offensive objective. Additionally, Taiwan is an island, granting it fairly huge boons to defensive capabilities.

and after the USA left south Vietnam they were keeping the north at bay. it wasn't until we stopped sending them money that the south collapsed.

The withdrawal of air support was crippling too. Once the NVA realized the tanks could come out to play, it was over.

and if i remember right Joe Biden was a part of getting our support withdrawn.

Speaking of China and Japan the Marines are now openly conducting STOL flight operations from Japan's I Can't Believe It's Not A Carrier.
