    He's running up trillions of dollars in debts, challenging several other countries to a fistfight out back, has eased our criteria for starting a nuclear war, made our Southern border permeable, and is ever escalating his conflict with Russia.

    I don't think the public approves of any of these things, but we are all in the can for everything he has done.

    I also don't think when people voted for him they knew 100 billion dollars would go to the Ukraine (UK?), and we could be dicing with nuclear war, for no good reason.

    To what extent should the population of a country be held responsible for what a leader has done?

    I have always felt that the Parliamentary System was too unstable to work. A "no confidence vote" could bring down an administration at a critical moment and end up in disaster. We, I thought, had a system which kept is stable for four years no matter what. I thought that was better.

    But Biden is killing us from war to gasoline to inflation to open borders to nuclear war to protecting everyone's borders but our own, and more and we're stuck.

    Churchill coined the term "The Gathering Storm" when he saw the approaching war with all its destruction. Much of the death and destruction of WWII was due to the ineffectiveness, even total failure of Neville Chamberlain. Biden is repeating all of those failures.

    History does, indeed, repeat itself.

    I would suggest the weakness of Biden is an inability to stop the MICC (Military Industrial Congressional Complex) from starting conflicts.

    But as with Hillary he has another weakness, his own inability to refrain from enjoying killing.

    Well since Russia hadn't launched its current invasion of Ukraine yet, we probably didn't know that. I am a Ukraine agnostic. I don't think much better of them than I do Russia. The only good thing I can find in all of this is that is keeps Russia bogged down so they can't flex on Poland or Finland/Finland/Norway. The longer the stall, the more likely Putin will fall to cancer, or a palace coup.

    The invasion was a feint, down toward Kyiv, of a force too small to capture much territory, but which succeeded in its objective of getting Kyiv to withdraw its troops that were attacking Donbas.
