Joe Biden is a follower, not a leader. he reads the polls, sees what the voters want, and champions same.
his politics have drifted left to follow the Democrat party.
He reminds me of these East Germans that were enthusiastic Nazis in 1944 and enthusiastic Communists in 1946. some people insist on being a part of whatever the prevailing philosophy is of the moment.
imho.

Iraq, Syria, Kosovo... continue?
The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.
The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Yeah, something ain't right...
In this day and age would it really make a difference if Biden was some kind of clone? Keep Obama protected in the background or whoever it is that is really pulling the strings?

Hopefully when Texas (or whatever state) secedes from the USA the citizens remaining in the USA will be ok with Russia giving arms and aid to Texas.
We are setting a very dumb precedent.

ok, now do one on the metamorphoses of Mr. Putin. How he went from singing to Hollywood celebrities and having dinners with them in 2010 to 2022 when he calls them and the West as "degenerates". Do another on one of his villas in Switzerland, or the education of his own sons in the West. West bad, Russia good. Do another of him, when he says he is going to Ukraine to hunt down Nazis, but then employs PMCS formed by Nazis themselves. Nazis against me bad, Nazis in my favor, good.
