It might be beneficial if there were people who were able to reasonably and cogently argue for alternative foreign policy views/strategies, as opposed to this kind of mendacious and lazy drivel. His good points regarding the Israel-Palestinian conflict are unfortunately undermined by how much he discredits himself in the run-up.
> The Biden foreign policy has always been a shambles. It has been based on military domination, economic coercion, and ideological arrogance which has swept up in its maw the Democratic party. The war in Ukraine, for example, meant to weaken Russia, has strengthened it economically and politically at the cost of the lives of 350,000 of the flower of Ukrainian youth.
I don't see how we have any evidence that Russia has been strengthened in any fashion, and also that war was not initiated by the US. The US didn't decide to invade Ukraine.
> t bears reflection at this moment that some of the same individuals, including President Biden, who led us into the disastrous Ukraine war
The US is not "in" the Ukraine War. His framing it that way makes it sound like we have boots on the ground at the same level as in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is obviously not the case. Moreover, again, unlike Afghanistan and Iraq, it was not a conflict initiated by the US.
> before that into devastating wars which killed over a million people in Iraq and Libya,
Same thing with Libya. It's just total bullshit to compare Libya with Iraq.
