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?

I’d rather win wars.

When was the last time we did that? WW2?

 

[Sithis]

Tbf we win every war we fight.

The matter of occupying territory is where we go wrong. Not really up to the task.

Eh I wouldn't really say that. We are undeniably GREAT at conventional warfare, but we've been fighting the same camel fucking desert dwellers on and off for 30 years and all we have to show for it is more commitment to Israel. And that's after we got absolutely pantsed and humiliated by a bunch of illiterate peasant rice farmers with knockoff AKs.

 

[HumanHive]

When was the last time we did that? WW2?

No, no. We won Granada, and Desert Storm was a curbstomp (but we foolishly didn’t follow through).

That's a huge oversimplification of what actually happened in Vietnam. The actual rice farmers were blown away with superior firepower and the South fell to a conventional army backed and supplied by the Chinese and Russians.

Fair point on Granada.

I still find it shocking that we continually send troops to distant lands without a declaration of war:

The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war. Congress has declared war on 11 occasions, including its first declaration of war with Great Britain in 1812. Congress approved its last formal declaration of war during World War II. Since that time it has agreed to resolutions authorizing the use of military force and continues to shape U.S. military policy through appropriations and oversight.

Only 11 declarations:

Constitutional republic my ass.

we have won just about every battle for the last 90 years but lose the political side of the wars.

Fair point on Granada.

Largely was a republic until the civil war. that was when the unlimited war powers and imperial presidency shit started.

The point of a war is to win the politics of the region.

Watch as the GOP badmouths Biden for being tough on our foreign enemies. Oh, i'm sorry, only Trump got that title. Biden is "acting a world police". Because assassinating foreign generals good, backing up threats with firepower bad.

Trump had a very measured approach, Syria gassed civilians Trump bombed an air strip. Iran attacked our embassy, Trump assassinated the head of their insurgency programs.

That's a far cry from the dumpster fire policies of the Obama administration.

Obama openly supported the Muslim Brotherhood which overthrew the governments of Libya, Egypt and started the Syrian civil war in the first place.

Or the utterly insane Obama / Clinton idea that the Ukraine could be a buffer state against Russian aggression after the Russians had already steamrolled Georgia and annexed Crimea. And we all know how that turned out for the Ukraine.

I feel like this is one of the worst parts about progressives: they'll do everything in their power to ensure their utopia is achieved on their terms, including holding the country hostage as they demand their ideal changes.

GOP is perfectly comfortable with letting government shut down given that it's under Biden. So, that's not going to be much of an arrow in their quiver.

the basis of "buh muh moneys" and they're losing their asses on investments and now won't be getting stimmybux.

I started buying bitcoin weekly through paypal back in Nov when they made it available to US people. I'm at 148% on my investment so far. The cool thing about a weakening dollar is that makes more dollars for each bitcoin.

Well, that makes sense since children aren't at any great risk from SARS-CoV-2. Follow the science and all that.

Amazing that those foreign children can be packed in like sardines but they can't risk teaching US kids face to face without complete building overhauls and other insane demands.

Syria gassed civilians Trump bombed an air strip.

You have to wonder if there was something on that air strip that neither side wants to admit was destroyed. It didn't seem like he did all that much (reported) damage and they gave Russia a heads up to avoid casualties. But it certainly seemed to cool everyone's jets off.

The Vietcong and commies were always supported by fellow reds. America wasn’t in full there anymore.

I have a feeling the Dems are deathly afraid of Biden having conversations with any world leader that won't hesitate to tell on how bad his mental degeneration got.

 

[Standardized Profile]

The matter of occupying territory is where we go wrong. Not really up to the task.

We can occupy territory real good, and occupy a lot of it pretty much indefinitely. But occupying territory isn't actually the goal of a war. Occupying territory just gives the smart people power over that territory so they can enact whatever policies they want. And most of their policies are stupid, which requires eternal occupation lest the conditions that started the war in the first place pop up again.

Fair point on Granada.

I still find it shocking that we continually send troops to distant lands without a declaration of war:

While Congress can initiate war by making a declaration, the President can determine that a state of war exists and react accordingly. ("The President was bound to meet it in the shape it presented itself, without waiting for Congress to baptize it with a name; and no name given to it by him or them could change that fact.") Having interests in a lot of countries, and lots of defense treaties, it's very easy to get drawn into a state of war without initiating a war. And by ratifying the UN Charter, the Senate gave the executive branch, working through the Security Council, a means by which it may make de facto declarations of war in concert with the rest of the UNSC.

Congress, for their part, has recognized a state of war can exist without a declaration from them since at least 1802. It also authorizes specific military operations without baptizing them as formal "wars" (e.g. the 2001 AUMF). Finally, it has given the President carte blanche to fight short wars via the War Powers Resolution, with or without a declaration on either side.

Under current laws, there's no need for a resolution with the magic words, "one, two, three, four, I declare we are at war." It's easy to get into a war, and the President and Congress can stop a war at any time they choose by exercising their commander-in-chief or authorization/appropriation powers.

That's the first time I actually listened to this Psaki woman. She's obviously unintelligent? And constantly ending sentences like questions? And that vocal fry is just annoying? Jesus. It's like listening to a teenager complaining about her dad.

I don't think she's a real ginger, either. Gingers are born without souls. She very clearly sold hers.

Syria gassed civilians Trump bombed an air strip. Iran attacked our embassy, Trump assassinated the head of their insurgency programs.

Hahaha ok nice neocon lies, the OPCW, the organization which produced the original report accusing Assad and Syria of the Douma gas attack, has had so many whistleblowers(and on that same Wikileaks fools such as yourself were parading around just a few years ago when it suited your narrative) from higher ups within the investigation it's been rather quite the scandal. There's been at least 4 including people willing to put their name to these allegations. Those same brave people were later intentionally lied about by OPCW in an attempt to defame them.
To go further into it, where's the bodies? Mass graves? Where's these tens of thousands of le gassed people? I guess Assad has those ovens working double time.

More importantly, can you tell me why a man winning a civil war with absolutely no reason to use extreme methods would suddenly break international laws and provoke a bigger intervention into his recovering country? I know you're not very historically literate so i'll remind you that Assad almost lost his country and was on the ropes, yet at that period he didn't use the chemical weapons Syria has? Only when he's winning? I know you're not a very bright person but even you can piece together the basic logic of how that doesn't add up. If Assad did do what you allege, it would bite him in the ass more than help him, it's illogical and for somebody as plotting as Assad goes against his MO.
You don't know geopolitics or foreign policy very well. You're repeating entry level neocon lies that have been debunked.

Iran attacked our embassy, Trump assassinated the head of their insurgency programs.

Lol blaming Iran alone, that was AFTER the Iraqi people voted your imperialist, occupying force out. Don't be shocked when the locals hurt your people when you're illegally occupying them against their will.
Fuck around and find out

I’d say we won Korea. It stayed free and is now a regional economic power. I guess we could have fought China more but it would have been another world war.

The U.S. could have technically won the Vietnam War by invading the North and controlling its cities and population. Of course, that would have brought in the USSR and possibly China into the proxy conflict.
