US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Garm]

Watched the Biden press conference. I don't know if he looked tired but he kept smacking his lips or something. Still useless but not quite as decrepid as I expected.

I'm not hoping Biden fails, I'm watching in horror as Biden fails.

The US was a next exporter of oil, and had internal production exceeding demand, but that was before Biden. Generally we import very little from Russia. Europeans are definitely going to have a rough year though.

Germany is the perfect example of what happens when you get too high on your own farts and go full green energy entirely for optics banning the construction and use of nuclear power facilities because nuclear energy is bad press despite being the most environment friendly energy there is.
France doesn't have as much of a problem because they never stopped using nuclear and not only do they sit comfortably in energy production but are the one country to produce the least CO2 emissions precisely because they went full nuclear.
Goes to show that green energy advocates don't advocate for anything other than selling the solar panels and wind turbines their masters manufacture

Biden giving the State of the Union

JUST FUCK MY COUNTRY UP

lmfao Putin only gets grabby with his neighbors' territory when a Democrat is in office, but sure it's definitely Republicans who entice him into action.

Except South Ossetia happened under Bush.

Edit : Whoops, discount that this is saying Meat Target said the above.

The new spin by NeverTrumpers and Neoliberals is in Trump's interview I posted earlier, he talks about how smart Putin is in orchestrating this whole thing by having parts of Ukraine declare independence and let Russia go protect them. Because Trump correctly points this out it means he's even more of a russian asset. The constant attempt to pretend Putin isn't smart is what makes these neoliberals such faggots, as shown by this from Biden doing a gay talk with Gavin Newsom and governors after his speech.

I’d just like to point out that when Donald Trump was President, he was pressured to put sanctions on Russia due to the Deep State’s own neoconservative and neoliberal politicians that love endless wars.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden only pulled sanctions on Russia just so he can show dominance, while not even being taken seriously by a country that does not even think he is being dominant.

Imagine being a neoliberal, coping about Trump pointing out the obvious while Putin takes more of Ukraine under your watch (again).

Imagine being Putin and your main geopolitical opposition are these complete and utter faggots. You were high up in the KGB and now you're going up against literal homosexuals, trannies and affirmative action hires. He must be laughing his ass off right now.

Or frustrated at the complete lack of a worthy adversary.

Shame he can't just adjust the difficulty settings.

If only he'd actually interfered in America's election, he could have had one again.

He obviously knows that Biden is impaired and is virtually a hired extra that plays the President. I'm interested more in the staff writing up the stuff that Biden reads and signs. Who are the people who actually decides?

I mean Trump's not wrong. Why Neocons and NeoLiberals pretend Putin is dumb is beyond me. I agree that Putin is a smart and clever man. Doesn't mean I love Putin and what to betray my country. It just means I see him as a clever bastard and a dangerous threat.

I mean even my father says Putin "is no dummie" as in he's a serious threat.

Or frustrated at the complete lack of a worthy adversary.

Yeah thats got to me annoying when all your enemies are trannies, Soyboys and gay.

You know the Administration has to be careful.

Putin could drop a bomb on American politics by simply releasing a statement about how Joe sat in the corner and drooled the whole meeting and DOCTOR Jill Biden was the one doing all the grandstanding and demands and ultimatums, asking if America knew they elected DOCTOR Jill Biden and her pet potato.

Man, I should have visited Russia years ago, when I had the chance. I feel like it'd be awkward for me to go now.

I think they see the world entirely in black and white. Putin is simultaneously weak, dangerous, stupid, and insidious, and as long as it's a negative trait, they can agree with it, because there's not a lot of conscious thought going into it. Looking at him as a brilliant, bold, and ultimately dangerous figure is completely unacceptable, because they hear positive traits being applied to him and instinctively start lashing out. Can't have that shade of grey!

Yeah I'm entirely convince they see everyone they deem as evil. As a Saturday mornings cartoon villain.

You're absolutely correct. The modern Left has no sense of nuance whatsoever, they're not capable of processing things that aren't on one extreme or another, and that's a big part of what makes them so dangerous. Some of the worst deeds in history have been perpetrated by people who believed so absolutely and rejected the possibility that things are more complicated than a "good/bad" simplification.

Their logic is so simplify it's scary

So another thing I've been seeing online regarding Trump's interview is this quote:

"We could use that on our southern border. That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. There were more army tanks than I've ever seen," Trump said. "They're gonna keep peace all right. No, but think of it. Here's a guy who's very savvy … I know him very well — very, very well."

Was this Trump legitimating Putin's tactics by saying we should replicate it on the Southern border? I did the unthinkable and actually found/read the full transcript of the interview to determine the answer. Immediately following that quote, Trump clarifies.

By the way, this never would have happened with us. Had I been in office, not even thinkable. This would never have happened. But here’s a guy that says, you know, “I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent,” he used the word “independent,” “and we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.” You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. And you know what the response was from Biden? There was no response. They didn’t have one for that. No, it’s very sad. Very sad.

Just like we discussed earlier, he's explicitly not saying Putin's actions are good! Just that they were an intelligent curveball that the Biden administration had no answer for, and that he would have shut down had he been in office. True to Trump form, he doesn't do it immediately, but he also does clarify his Southern border comments:

BUCK: How worried are you that the Biden administration might get dragged into the actual military conflict in Ukraine if it escalates?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, I’d rather see them send soldiers to our southern border. I’d rather see them… In three weeks, you could finish it. They won’t even let Texas use our military which is all bought, sitting there waiting to be put up. It could have been erected in less than three weeks it could two and a half years to get started ’cause we had to win 11 lawsuits. I’d rather see our southern border protected. But I don’t like the idea he’s sending a small number of troops. It’s a joke compared to what the other side does. You know, he sends 3,000 troops I heard this morning, 3,000 troops. What’s that gonna do except get in trouble?

He's not saying that we should declare a big portion of Mexico independent and go in to keep peace, he's saying that the Biden administration should commit to American safety by dedicating more than a symbolic amount of resources to ensuring American security. Maybe not tanks on the Southern border, but resources enough to ensure that we can safely maintain it.

There's quite a bit more to the interview, I included the link above so you can check it out, but those comments about Trump wishing he could be Putin or whatever just aren't substantiated by the interview.
