Biden's First Act Of War Hits 3 Countries

[integral]

Video popped up in my feed. Wondering what you guys think?

Is biden any better than trump?

There both ESTPs.

I think the problem transcends any one individual. Honestly though, in my supremely uneducated opinion, Biden fucking up is still a fuck up leading to a better situation than Trump fucking up because Biden is higher on the Spiral. Does that mean every Biden fuck up is a better fuck up than a Trump fuck up? Definitely not, but again, the problem transcends single actions and individuals.

That was really dumb and uncalled for.

Yes, Biden is better than Trump.

I find it VERY hard to believe they have the same personality type.

I won't say it's justified, but I can't say I'm surprised either.

The US has been doing this kind of thing for years. Our economic system thrives, and to a certain degree depends, on war. I did not imagine Biden was somehow going to change all that.

Americans overestimate the power of the presidency.  The Empire enforces its territory no matter who is in office.   Trump actually had a more peaceful foreign policy than Biden.

People are really this naive huh? Alright let me lay it out very simple for you folks;

Presidents DO NOT run the country or choose which countries they go to war with, they are literally PR puppets for the kleptocratic oligarchs and corporations who operate nearly removed from the public sphere, and are well insulated from from taking accountability. Some of these people and corporations we know the names of, some of them we do not.

I mean you could be a twat about it if you want, but there is nothing conspiratorial or unbelievable about anything I said. It should be layman knowledge that the US is state corrupted by a neurotic cultural obsession with finances (legal or otherwise), which disproportionately dictate many of the decisions that are made. It's not a democracy. This is clear if even the smallest bit of skepticism made you dig past the surface layer.

The power lies not in patriotic nationalists with a sense of duty to uphold certain constitutional virtues, nor does it reside in the fervor of clergy like it did with nations from the 1500's.

Please don't tell me you watch CNN or Fox News, or ANY Youtube political commentator unironically

I'm sure that was Adolf's perspective as well.

A lot of Democrats and Republicans think that the Biden administration made a costly mistake with those 3 middle eastern countries.

Perhaps, but the question is a holistic one which touches on many more factors than a few bombings.

Biden is gonna have to bomb half the Middle East in order to overtake the sum total of Trump's collective evilness.

Yeah, I personally don’t think what Biden’s order to bomb the Syrian border was the worst. 

I just hope that he and his administration don’t get too hawkish during these next few years.

[Leo Gura]

@Hardkill I expect them to do some bombings, as is par for the course, but not start any wars.

[kray]

People forget that even Obama, who was one of our greatest presidents, carried out numerous air strikes in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. 

[StarStruck]

Trump was a menace to the US.

Biden will be a menace to the world.

[Leo Gura]

Don't sell him short, Trump was certainly a menace to the world.

[DocWatts]

The guy wasn't running as a peace Candidate, so I'm not sure why anyone is surprised that Biden's continuing down the same tired path of military interventionism as literally all of his predecessors for decades.

The last President who made a serious effort to break from the National Security State was probably Jimmy Carter back in the seventies, and even he wasn't entirely successful.

Sadly I don't see this problem being addressed in a substantive way until we have a much more Democratic form of government, and Nationalist political platforms don't appeal to enough people to win national elections. No way this is getting solved when the Military Industrial Complex is a defacto jobs program for much of the country.

At the highest level of international politics, the world is run no different than a group of  “mafia”  crime families.  It’s actually more brutal than that.  The mafia doesn’t have nuclear weapons and the willingness to use them if certain boundaries are passed.   The mafia doesn’t bomb villages full of innocent people.    That’s why I believe Shunyamurti.
