The Biden foreign policy so far is exactly what the Trump policy was. As a matter of fact I would bet it will escalate in violence. Where is the outrage? All the social media platforms are silent.

He's only been in power for a month - what do you expect, a miracle?

  And in that month, Biden's already gave the thumbs up to bombing Syria, killing 17 people.

    So complain to Biden, no one is saying we shouldn’t stop bombing people in other countries. It’s also not a shock to anyone in the US that Biden is effectively a conservative to every other western nation. I didn’t put my hopes on him fixing things. I wanted the clown in chief to stop breaking things for four years. If Biden keeps breaking things I’ll vote him out too. I just won’t do it to the benefit of more far right demagogues.

      Exactly. I'm a libertarian who had never voted for a major party federal candidate and yet I found myself voting for the conservative option of Biden this time around. I want to go back to hating the government a normal amount. The military-industrial-surveillance complex is evil, but at least it has a vested interest to not wantonly kill half a million Americans.

        I personally think Trump is dumb, indecent, and a liar - but it's not fair to suggest he's responsible for killing half a million Americans. The US seems to have had a somewhat typical response and outcome to the virus with fewer per capita deaths than Germany, France, UK, Spain, and others[1]. Surely all these countries weren't also run by regimes trying to kill their population. Trump's opponents didn't seem to be suggesting noticeably better strategies to deal with the virus and Democrat led states don't seem to be handling the virus much better than Republican led states [2]. 1 - https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality 2 - https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

        I agree with saying that Trump can't be blamed for the existence of the corona virus and a lot of deaths related to it - but there were expert suggestions to shut down travel much earlier and more aggressively than what Trump did and, honestly, the US per-capita deaths are quite high - we're somewhere in the top ten globally - so I don't know if it's fair to say that Corona virus' extreme impact is entirely disconnected from Trump either. I prefer to focus on more concrete and demonstrable failures but I think in a few years when we can really parse this data we'll find that Trump's actions directly led to hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths... but, I'm not certain. The biggest failure I think we pretty clearly made in handling the virus was not quickly building up some nationalized vaccine production facilities. If ever there was a time for some good old state capitalism it was this pandemic and a few hundred million invested in setting up facilities we know we'll eventually need would have paid off handsomely.

        Germany has 80 million people, 70.000 died through covid. US has 320 million (so roundabout 4 times as much), 500k died of covid (so roundabout 7 times as much). Thus, more people per capita died in the US than in Germany. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...

  You probably mistaken my comment as anti Biden instead of anti involvement. I predict the Biden administration as the Obama administration did, will in fact escalate every conflict we are currently engaged in. Lets wait a little and see what happens, I hope I'm wrong.

  Actually yes. If you have "the most powerful position in the world" - I expect FUCKING MIRACLES YOU FUCKING DOUCHEBAG
