    I’m glad Biden’s saber rattling, instead of attempting de-escalation when it was hand out on a silver platter was effective!

    No one could have seen that coming though, obviously.

      If you are trying to be sarcastic, I don’t think you succeeded.

        And yet… Not two days ago I was here telling people that Biden’s saber rattling was fucking stupid and was met with “no it’s gonna be effective to stop Iran retaliating against an illegal attack on its embassy”.

              Well, there are people who answer to him based on his job position. So, that’s not correct. But a more appropriate response to your ham-fisted comment, might be: Trump answers to more people than Biden.

                Fair, what I should have said was that people don’t want to answer to Biden because he has no clue what he’s actually doing. It’s more likely that people are answering to Biden’s babysitters.

                  It’s not their job to answer to Biden. Also, they better not “answer” to any president, as it’s literally not the presidents job to control them.

                  Look, I get it, you don’t like Biden. I’m not a huge fan either. But if you don’t vote for him, you vote for Trump. And he is going to make things worse for you in unimaginable ways.

                  Aside: Trump has babysitters too.

                    Oh, I’m not going to vote for either of them. And when the president, whoever it happens to be, ends up running the country into the ground, I fully intend on leaving. I have already begun looking into what it would take to get a citizenship somewhere else and and pulling all of my money out of the dollar and keeping it in other assets that will hold their value.
