    So because the Russian dictator attacked an independent nation that we helped disarm, the US and NATO (that has seen several new members join) helped so they didn’t get completely run over by proving logistical support and materials…

    Is the fault of Biden?

    Fascinating

    You are on narrative 1, it has problems, and more people are on narrative 2.

    Narrative 1 favors the US, that is, the first world.

    It emphasizes the independent nation in the case of Ukraine, but forgets it when we attack Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Libya (the later two in association with NATO), Somalia, Syria, and so on.

    Disarming Ukraine I doubt if that is meaningful because the nuclear weapons wouldn't still work now.

    Narrative 1 also ignores all the important stuff.

    This is like crying wolf here. I have heard this type of argument for GWB, Obama, Trump, and now Biden.

    Second, there is no potential nuclear conflict. First, Putin is not that stupid. Yes, he put tactical missiles in Belarus with Russian control. But Russia is losing the conventional war. they have serious, and I do mean, serious, logistical issues from gas to tanks and other armored vehicles, to the fact that Russia is not deploying their latest technology and making the adaptations necessary during war, to the failures of some of their most reliable weapons, and the usual Russian politics of using war to deplete your potential adversaries.

    Second, the international community, especially in the EU, Africa, Asia, South American, Central America, and Canada is still very committed to Climate change. However, even within the US, the politics of climate change, as well as international, has always been dubious at best. We do have the Paris Accords, but the international community doesn't make a hissy fit about everything unlike what we see in American politics and media.

    Third, WTH are you talking about? The "bio labs" is a conspiracy theory galore. There were labs, but they were not "biolabs" in any degree whatsoever. Russia tried to pin this and even the international community rejected that idea from Putin, along with Putin's "Nazi" argument and so forth. Pretty much Putin invaded Ukraine to punish Ukraine for the 2014 Revolution to throw out the puppet government and get rid of corruption within that administration.

    Your whole post is not based on reality by any measure.

    Ukraine is not going to be disarmed. The ICBMs in Ukraine are still controlled by Russia, always have been.

    The Idiots Behind The Climate Change Cult

    BLESS HER HEART: Jane Fonda Blames Men for Climate Change: ‘We Have to Arrest and Jail Those Men.’

    'Hollywood star Jane Fonda made the outrageous claim Friday that climate change is being caused exclusively by men, specifically white men, adding that “those men” must be arrested and jailed.'

    'Speaking at a career retrospective at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Jane Fonda promoted her radical climate activism efforts, saying the world has “about seven, eight years” to cut fossil fuel consumption in half.'

    'She also said “poor people of color” as well as populations in the southern hemisphere will be hit hardest by global warming.'

    “It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men — they’re all men,”

    'Later, Fonda continued her anti-male climate harangue.'

    “It’s good for us all to realize, there would be no climate crisis if there was no racism. There would be no climate crisis if there was no patriarchy,” she reportedly said. “A mindset that sees things in a hierarchical way. White men are the things that matter and then everything else [is] at the bottom.”

    'Fonda failed to mention that China — which isn’t run by white men — ranks as the world’s largest polluter, emitting more greenhouse gases than all developed nations combined.'

    'To be fair though, Fonda only wants white men “arrested” for climate change. Don’t get her started on those who are anti-abortion: “Today on The View–my God, does someone actually watch that show?–she suggested that pro-lifers should be murdered.”'

    No, tell me
    I was probably wrong when I thought I noticed you adding race to foreign policy.

    Because the entire point of my second sentence is based on the first. Lol.

    You’re struggling real hard with this.

    So, it was perfectly acceptable to use the Doomsday Clock to attack Trump, but now that Biden's in office, what, the Doomsday Clock is a joke? The Doomsday Clock is lower under Biden than it was under Trump.

    There will be disagreement if you use facts. There's a ton of garbage coming from the disinformation sources.

    The most common idea I've heard from the disinformation is that V Putin is 5'7" in height, the same as Napoleon, therefore he is just like Napoleon.

    Zelensky also 5ft7 inches, and so is Pres. Macron.

    But it's just a matter of throwing as much mud as possible and hoping some of it sticks, the same way they sidelined Pres. Trump.

    Ah, I get it now. Bidens foreign policy is a failure because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, because he wasn't Black.
    Ergo if he were Black he would not be a failure.
