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

 

[Oxous]

Apparently there are going to be talks between Ukraine and Russia. Do you think they are going to convince anyone that Biden was the mastermind behind deescalating this thing?

They've already failed, essentially. Lukashenko promised Belarus would do nothing while the talks were ongoing, and then whoops somebody fired Iskander missiles out of Belarussian territory right as the negotiators were beginning to meet.

Probably. Their find something to pretend connects to Biden.

It's hilarious that the left has so throughly demonized patriotism and nationalism that now when they desperately need to appeal to it they can't.

What a massive and totally avoidable self own.

It's less their demonization of patriotism and nationalism and more that they finally infiltrated a military that was already on shaky grounds with the hawkish side of the country (20 years of pointless wars will do that), and immediately started pushing woke bullshit that turned them off entirely.

Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan, and Franklin Pierce are like some kind of unholy trinity of awful that for years I wondered if a modern US President could ever hope to surpass them. Biden is trying his damnedest by bungling every situation that comes before him and furthering the public's general resentment of the federal government. I generally try and reserve judgment for a President's performance for several years after their last term because it can be difficult to grasp some of the long-term ramifications of their policies in the moment (or their scandals, as most of the details regarding the Teapot Dome scandal came out after Harding's death and it's only now beginning to come out that Obama had a hand in spying on the Trump campaign), but if Biden (or his puppeteers like Jill) somehow fuck things up so hard they actually get thrown out of office or cause a second civil war then he'll get to that bottom ranking as deserved.

Some historians came out a couple of months ago and ranked Trump as the worst president ever.

The academic field is deep blue and deep heavy in TDS.

No shit is that bias. I mean shit are they legit saying Trump was worse than fucking Johnson the 17th president.

Seriously how did conservatives lose this much ground like the academic field. I feel bad too since Trump had a good encomy.

 

[MrJokerRager]

Interesting article worth a read- when Biden came into power, the Obama foreign policy team who had first devised Euromaiden returned to Biden's State Department, and restarted their schemes that Trump had pushed to the wayside from 2016-2020.

We are now seeing their deadly results, all as a result of the Democrat's piped piper dance with Ukraine from 2013-2022.

Summarized: "Elections have consequences."

Ukraine’s Deadly Gamble

By tying itself to a reckless and dangerous America, the Ukrainians made a blunder that client states will study for years to come

To rephrase what Dear Leader said a while ago.

Anyone trusting the gay nigger lovers in charge of this nation, excluding Trump, for protection, deserves getting castrated with the sharp end of a broken wooden spork.

So long, child
I'm on my way
And after all is done
After all is done

Don't be down
It's all in the past
Though you may be afraid

So long, child
It's awful dark
I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows

Because free marking loving zionist crony capitalist Ronnie Raygun loving baby boomers dropped civics and community for being soulless yuppies pursuing hedonism.

Seriously it's pretty sad when you look at professions like academics, education and entertainment that use to be strong conservative hold positions are now become insane lefty domains. It seems most of it happen after Regean did conservatives stop going into those fields. Which sucks since I liked Regean. But he did end up ruining conservatives hold on culture. That's why conservatives are stuck in a endless culture war ( if you can even call it that).

That article is so presumptuous and reeking of "stay in your place, pleb" that I'd think it was written by a left-wing think tank instead.

Ukraine had to "accept its place as a buffer state"? What the fuck kind of an argument is that? The article reaches so fucking hard to try to pin the blame entirely on the Dems that it reduces Ukraine to a mindless pawn without agency and existing only at Russia's whim, and Russia to an animal running entirely on instinct, without giving a moment's thought to the local context.

There's plenty to blame the current administration for without having to start doing Pilates so you can stretch that hard without pulling something.

I do love seeing people like Sean Penn doing a 180 saying we should fight in Ukraine.

I'm not surprised in the least. Every President has some idiot rushing to be the one who provides the baseline for how they are graded. Creating that historical narrative and all that. Bush II had a ton of historians rushing to crown him "worst President ever" (he's not but still awful) and Obama had a large contingent wanting to name him the greatest President since Lincoln (lol to that). At least they were kind enough to let everyone know they shouldn't be taken seriously as historians or analysts. For fun, keep a list of their names and see where else they give their "expert" opinions.

Biden has the makings of an all-time bad President; he's ticking off almost every box for it. Failure to pass any meaningful legislation, poor economy, multiple international failures, civil unrest, no success stories (I know the media has tried hard to spin something out of Biden's dogshit decisions but people see through it even if they aren't comfortable saying it out loud. . . yet), and we're not even at the halfway point yet.

It's posts like this that make me remember that demented old puppet has done more harm in two years than any other president managed in eight.

Ok, so is Ukraine supposed to be The Little Country That Could and become an international Superpower?

I'm probably going to take a break from conservative talk radio for a while since a number of the people I listen to have been flying the "Team America: World Police" banner even though callers tell them everyday Americans don't want that.

tl;dr: Just be neutral. No "Putin-sama" nonsense, but never fall in line with the GAE or share interests with Reddit-Americans.

Thought Reddit would make it easier for them to be more pro-Russia.

I think the implication of the article was more that they would have been in a much better position politically, economically, and diplomatically if they’d at least played at being a buffer state instead of all this. They picked bad sides in external conflicts they should have stayed out of. That isn’t something that tends to go well.

Sure, that's a perfectly valid point. But the article made it seem like as far as the world is concerned Ukraine only exists as a buffer state. Which is fucking retarded, and it comes uncomfortably close to saying Putin was right to invade. Which he wasn't.

Besides, as Poland found out a couple of times through history, being a buffer state is not a comfortable situation and it's not conductive to great economic development or political independence. The state you're buffering for doesn't want you to develop, they want you dependent on them economically, and you're supposed to remain beholden to their political whims. Case in point, Belarus being for all intents and purposes a vassal state to Russia right now. (ETA: North Korea is also a buffer state, this time for China. There aren't a lot of good things involved in being a buffer state.)

Vladimir Putin has been in power for 22 years now, and an autocrat for at least 10. Plenty of time to realize just how bad an idea it is to be under his heel. I don't blame Ukraine for trying to side with the West under those circumstances. They made their gamble, and obviously now they're facing the consequences. But Ukraine doesn't exist solely to laundry Democrat politicians' money. It's still a large, functional nation. Trying to make it look like this whole fucking thing is just one big plot by the American left and both Ukraine and Russia just went along with it like they didn't have any choice on the matter is ludicrous. The article tries to sound deep but it's extremely reductionist and America-centric because of that. Our interests are but one of the things that made this situation happen.

Worse, it's barely been over a year. We've still got almost three years of Biden's awful presidency to go.

That is, if he even makes it that long...but then we'd have President Kamala, and I do not want to think about how horrible that shitshow would be.

Scholarships mostly.
One of my friends explained it a long time ago. I'd ask again. But you know. Dead.

Iirc it's scholarships allow a selection process for college graduates and there weren't a lot of "conservative" scholarships or some shit. Mixed with the liberal zeitgeist of upper-class retards. Add some nuance or something and that's prolly what it really is. idfk.
