What? I was critical of Biden before and now that's he poised to continue doing the very things I'd criticized him before on, I'm supposed to get a ne...

So far my posts have been spurred by the appointments to Biden's transition team and the news that Clinton is even under consideration at all from a U...

Yeah that's the vibe I'm getting too. I also wonder where Israel stands on this - is a treaty too passive for them? I really dunno. Please stop talkin...

I honestly think the focus on Russia has largely been played for the domestic audience: It's Russia which 'explains Trump', and not the fact that the ...

The US ought to fuck right off from anywhere possible.

Biden's rhetoric is exactly continuous with his lifelong hawkish policy commitments, and I see very little reason to think he's taken some kind of har...

I suppose. I'm just thinking that having elected the much-touted 'lesser evil', well, they've still elected evil.
