This might be a weird question, but if you are American, do you think Biden is a smart man with motives beyond his own gain? Does he really try to make USA better and works for the common person?

- mort96 5y agoI'm not the person you asked, but: I think Biden is in a very different situation to Putin. I think Putin's personality and personal intelligence and rationality is much more important than Biden's, since Putin personally has a whole lot more power. Putin is the dictator of a country; Biden is an elected figure head who's mostly beholden to the US's (relatively) strong institutions. As such, I think the US's actions are largely driven by somewhat rational self-interest, while Russia's actions are much more beholden to Putin personally. Note: The US's interests are not necessarily aligned with the interest of the people in the US. Also, note: I don't necessarily think this applies to Trump; I think it applies to Biden because he probably largely plays along with the institutions which exist to preserve the US's interests, while Trump didn't. I'm not educated on the matter, all this might be wrong. I'm just some guy on the internet who pays some attention to politics. I'm also not American, I look at both the US and Russia from the outside.
- user-the-name 5y agoYes, obviously. I don't like him and his politics much at all, but it is very clear that all you said is the case.
