Because Biden

[BansheeOne]

I know, I know. Reagan was a weak-dick president too, because on his watch Argentina invaded the Falklands, the Russians shot down KAL 007, Islamic Jihad blew up the Marines in Beirut, the Iraqis attacked USS Stark, and Iran mined Samuel B. Roberts. None of them tried to pull any of that shit with a real leader like Clinton.

Trump's team handled the Ukrainian situation just fine for 4 years because Trump understood how to deal with the likes of Putin and Zelensky, both of which are hostile actors to US interests.   Biden's team disintegrated on the Ukrainian portfolio because Biden's team is a combination of stupidity, incompetence, toxicity, and arrogance.    That is why Biden's foreign policy portfolio has been a failure on all fronts.

In all fairness to Biden's team, they are no worse than Canada's similar brand of woke globalist warriors in terms of foreign policy.  It's simply an ideology that needs to be purged from our diplomatic ranks so that we can get back to dealing with what they think of as the 'lesser countries' normally.  The US is the same - they'll do much better on the foreign policy front by removing Biden from office in 2024 and replacing him with Trump.

 

 

Wonder why both Bolton, and Mattis were so keen on going to war with Iran.

But, Orange Man Bad, peace with Orange Man Bad, war with not-Orange Man Good.

Trump said he'd be in WW6 by the end of his term if he'd listened to Bolton.  :^)  With Biden, things like Blinken goes on a delicate mission to Beijing to try and restore ties after the balloon debacle, and Biden calls Xi a 'dictator' at a public rally within days and ruins everything.  The guy is an imbecile.

I always felt The God/Emperor hired Bolton just to hear his ideas. Once He got a line on Bolton's mindset,  it was "you're fired"

Also the possibility of a good cop/bad cop. Send Bolton out to piss people off, follow up with some direct POTUS glad-handing.

No one had to hire Bolton to figure out what his "ideas" were. He was pretty clear about it all along in UN, on Fox, or any public appearance at all.

Putting the destruction of Ukraine on Biden

Biden himself endorsed a "minor" incursion by Russia into Ukraine.  So yeah, it's on Team Biden.  Team Biden, because I'm quite comfortable believing Joe Biden has very little to do or say about the government of which he's the titular head.

Table 5.

I would sit by Tulsi Gabbord. I would convince Don Lemon that Vice President Harris is a transvestite so they would pair off. That  would leave me to  have an interesting conversation with the lovely Tulsi, Joe Rogan and Clarence Thomas.

New documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) argued that the agency could regulate speech related to “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine” as well as “irregular immigration.”

Those subjects stretch across much of the “space” used for political speech in the last few years.

Notably, within DHS, Jen Easterly, who heads the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, extended her agency’s mandate over critical infrastructure to include “our cognitive infrastructure.” The resulting censorship efforts included combating “malinformation” – described as information “based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate.” I testified earlier on this effort.

So DHS asserted the authority to target viewpoints on racial justice, Ukraine, and other political subjects, including views based on fact but viewed as misleading in context.

Ken Cuccinelli, former deputy secretary of Homeland Security during the Trump administration, told Fox News Digital in a statement that "DHS does not have censorship authority."

"Making up a new government acronym – ‘MDM’ – does not change that legal fact," he said.

In 2021, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a military research agency under the Pentagon , sought proposals for “real-time, comprehensive tools that establish ground truth for how countries are conducting domestic information control.”

DARPA’s goal in developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology ostensibly was to help the United States government better understand “how digitally authoritarian regimes repress their populations at scale over the internet via censorship, blocking, or throttling.”

Of course, the solicitation made it clear that the Pentagon did not want the proposals to look at the activities of the United States government. The Pentagon and the U.S. government, as a whole, enjoy professing moral superiority over authoritarian governments when it comes to upholding basic democratic values — even as officials erode them at home.

Indeed, American politicians have no qualms about criticizing foreign governments such as Russia and China for suppressing civil liberties and efforts to eliminate dissent. Yet, there seems to be a complete unwillingness to have an honest conversation about the disturbingly similar actions our own government is actively engaged in and financing.

For decades, the Pentagon and other federal agencies have been quietly partnering with private organizations to develop powerful surveillance and intervention tools designed to monitor and influence narratives on social media.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Biden sued Rudy Giuliani and another attorney Tuesday, saying the two wrongly accessed and shared his personal data after obtaining it from the owner of a Delaware computer repair shop.

He didn't endorse anything.  He flubbed that news conference because he said what shouldn't have been said out loud - if something less than a full invasion occurred it would be difficult to get all allies on board with a full set of sanctions given the economic ties between Russia and Europe.  We saw this with how long it took for the US and Europe to throw down some of the major sanctions even after the full invasion actually happened.

I find it interesting the week the impeachment inquiry begins we hear nothing from the MAGA crowd on TN about it.  Could it possibly be because two of the R witnesses on the very first day stated "there is not enough evidence to support an impeachment"?  🤣

It didn't help that when asked later in the same news conference, he defined "minor incursion" as something short of "Russian forces crossing the border, killing Ukrainian fighters", making the confusion complete. 😁

I think everyone is just waiting to see what happens.  You're of the mind to decide before the case is presented?

Could be we are waiting for more clear evidence and the process to go through rather than jumping to conclusions? 
 

I suppose we could ask you from the bidenomics crowd to explain what’s going on?

We are using Russia as an intermediary with Iran. Kinda odd that. 
 

And the firm foreign policy worked great didn’t it. I suppose for you MAPA types this is all ideal? 

[Josh]

I consider the Ukraine policy pretty dead on, yes. My only gripe might be that more heavy weapons weren’t made available sooner, though there is a huge pucker factor in support an opponent of Russia so close to home.

Elements of this case have been investigated for years at this point.  To open this inquiry and not have slam dunk evidence... there's very little reason to believe any will come to the surface at this point.  Having your own witnesses state in opening statements there's not enough evidence is also terrible optics.
