JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A WRITER NOTES BIDEN’S NEW STRIDENT RHETORIC ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS – HE COMES AT A SITUATION LIKE TRUMP’S VICIOUSNESS IN VENEZUELA WITH AN ATTACK FROM THE RIGHT (YES, THAT’S CORRECT, FROM THE RIGHT) – NOTING A FEW ENCOURAGING NOISES BIDEN HAS MADE ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF AMERICA’S MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL RESIDENTS, WE SEE THE CLASSIC OPERATION OF THE MODERN DEMOCRATIC PARTY – STRONG SUPPORT FOR BLOODSHED ABROAD WITH FRIENDLY WORDS ABOUT DOMESTIC POLICIES – MAYBE EVEN A DARK PURPOSE FOR BIDEN’S OTHERWISE HUMANE-SOUNDING ADVOCACY OF LEGALIZING THE STATUS OF AMERICA’S MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS?

“Biden And His Ventriloquists Keep Out-Hawking Trump”

“In a series of truly chilling and ominous tweets, Joe Biden shows us he would dispense with Trump’s even minimal non-interventionism and return the U.S. to full-bore aggression”



Yes, of course. The Democrats are a war party, and Joe Biden has a long career of never opposing or criticizing America's wars and coups and incursions. He was a strong advocate for Obama’s industrial-scale system of extra-judicial killing. And he took a direct part as Obama’s proconsul in America’s coup in Ukraine

He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with that truly bloody pair, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, in killing at least a million people, in reducing millions more to refugee status, and in destroying several well-run countries.

Elections in America are not permitted to affect the dark work of the Pentagon and CIA.

Clearly, some of the elections Washington disparages - as those in Bolivia or Venezuela - were more democratic in nature than America’s own are. If you cannot change the course of huge and destructive policies, what's the point of bothering about an election? Political theater, and nothing more.

I am very glad Ms. Johnstone is featuring this dark interventionist side of Joe Biden.

He is otherwise busy trying to portray himself as a humane and decent politician. Following the traditional path of modern Democrats, he toys with friendly-sounding domestic programs while fully supporting mass murder abroad.

In almost all cases, the social programs never see the light of day while the slaughter continues unabated.

Biden’s recent promise to send a bill to Congress on his first day in office to legitimize millions of illegal American residents and to create a path for them to citizenship is a good one, but if America continues its bloody activity abroad, and even increases it, Biden’s proposal can be seen as just a way of creating a new pool of grateful recruits for a Pentagon which cannot now keep its ranks full.

Willing bodies for the 800 or so military bases abroad and the dozen or so countries under American siege.
