JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: DON’T EXPECT MUCH FROM BIDEN – HE HAS A TRACK RECORD AND IT ISN’T ENCOURAGING – A CLEVER WAG RECENTLY WROTE THAT THE ELECTION AMOUNTS TO A CHOICE BETWEEN EATING A FULL BOWL OF SHIT (TRUMP) OR EATING A HALF BOWL OF SHIT (BIDEN) – AMERICA HAS A GIGANTIC NATIONAL INDUSTRY IN DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND NEITHER CANDIDATE WILL DISTURB IT

“Biden’s Vision for Venezuela Indistinguishable from Trump’s”


I don't understand why anyone would expect anything else.

Biden has a track record, a long one.

He happily supported every war and incursion and coup that came along. He has sometimes claimed that he was against invading Iraq – now universally recognized as a great strategic blunder, apart from its immorality - but that is just another of his smilingly-told little lies. He was in fact a very active cheerleader for launching it.

He even helped in a few cases, as in Ukraine where he functioned as Obama’s proconsul in a five-billion-dollar operation against an elected government.

He was photographed, grinning, while enthusiastically shaking hands with the commander of the Azov Battalion, as genuine a neo-Nazi outfit as you will find today, complete with armbands and torchlight parades.

It, along with some other similarly-inclined outfits, serves the US interest in keeping the post-coup governments intimidated enough to not make any concessions.

Biden also served as chief White House advocate for the godawful industrial-scale extrajudicial killing scheme that now runs like clockwork, killing people in various distant places, just as the Argentine junta once made thousands of people it didn't like “disappear.”

The war record of the Democrats was what swung enough marginal votes for Trump's election despite his own ugly personality, but he has utterly failed to change the direction of things and instead has started or extended hostilities in several places.

Elections have absolutely zero effect on the operations of America’s war machine.

You know, between the Pentagon and the secret security services, like the CIA, America has a trillion-dollar-a-year national industry in killing and destruction.
