Lets not forgot that "Social Justice Warrior":

- not only applies to Leftwing-anarchist Antifa BLM types, who riot and break things like windows and statues. Wait till June 2021 when the US weather warms up, so their riot season can begin again in "hot night comfort"

BUT ALSO

- Rightwing types (especially in the US) who feel that their Biden federal government is a "politically correct conspiracy that has failed them". This latter group rioting and breaking things, like the US Capitol Building, on 6 February 2021.

An accurate depiction of US incompetence, hubris and arrogance. Ol’ hologram Joe will be loving this. That’s if he is still upright, his hologram blew over on those stairs remember! I was amazed his Obama handlers let him out of the basement. He’s got dementia (a stutter according to Steelreflux, he will emerge from his sewer to ensure us all Biden is of sound mind and body, he’s only 78 you know). He’s getting deafer and blinder by the day. I’m sure he’s already on intravenous formaldehyde, it won’t be long. Reminds me of that movie...that’s it, ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’. Downloaded it, Biden is the quiet one :-)

Here’s a list of the latest Obama/Biden/Harris/Bernie Exec Orders, all done in the last 10 days!

“The US will rejoin the Chinese-controlled World Health Organisation (WHO). Dr Anthony Fauci, a supporter of China, will become the head US delegate.

A pause on student loan principal and interest payments is extended to 30 September 2021.

The US will rejoin the Paris Climate Accord.

Biden launches a ‘100 Days Masking Challenge’, asking Americans to wear masks for 100 days and requiring masks in federal buildings, federal property, and among federal contractors.

Cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Nebraska.

Non-citizens to be included in the Census and counted for apportionment in the House of Representatives.

Lifting the US entry restrictions on citizens of countries that support Islamic extremist terrorism.

Halting construction of the US-Mexico border wall.

Immediate ban on deportation of illegal immigrants.

Direction to US agencies to reinstate critical race theory indoctrination sessions.

Extend a nationwide moratorium on evictions and foreclosures until 31 March 2021.

Biological men who ‘identify’ as women can compete in women’s sports, and use women’s locker rooms and showers.

Transgender individuals may serve in the military.

A moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal property.

A blanket freeze on all pending regulations proposed by the Trump administration.”

Where is Joe, his State of the Union address etc. Oh that’s right, hologram technology won’t work, his hologram is nearly dead too!

Dear Galen,

You have whined about the tone of debate on this forum yet you write this?

"An accurate depiction of US incompetence, hubris and arrogance. Ol’ hologram Joe will be loving this. That’s if he is still upright, his hologram blew over on those stairs remember! I was amazed his Obama handlers let him out of the basement. He’s got dementia (a stutter according to Steelreflux, he will emerge from his sewer to ensure us all Biden is of sound mind and body, he’s only 78 you know).

What you really are asking is to dish it out without any comeback. Biden certainly isn't here to defend himself but I am certainly happy to call you out.

Yours are the actions of a timid underhanded person. How about you man up and stop your complaining. If you want to indulge in the rough and tumble of debate on here then get use to it going both ways.

As to the list you have pinched off the Daily Reckoning which are you most objecting to? Most of them seem pretty straight forward and in line with what Biden had promised.

Yes Galen, its been a pretty disastrous opening 100 days. But no worse than one would have expected if you followed the election. The growing mess at the southern border was a certainty. That so many USians are now surprised by it shows how little they vetted the Democratic Party agenda.

The same goes for things like the Keystone pipeline. Biden promised it wouldn't be closed but it has been . That people fell for the promise is just astounding.

As regards the issue of the article, foreign policy, the starting point in understanding this is that Biden and most of his lieutenants are pro-China. In the case of Biden himself, the bribes he received from China via his son mean that he is likely hopelessly compromised. Already we see that China is operating as though they've measured him and found him wanting.

That the Biden will make the right noises when it doesn't matter such as complaining on behalf of Australia is to be expected. But concrete measures? Not so much.

A newly emboldened China is currently flexing it muscle against the Philippines and there's no indication of any push-back from Washington. Ditto Chinese military fly-overs against Taiwan.

Incredibly the US is threatening sanctions against Quad partner India, which suggests that the aim is to do China's bidding by neutering that alliance.

Around the world, nations are going to have to proceed on the basis that the US is no longer a reliable partner. The Quad might become the Triangle. Israel and its new allies will assume that the US will favour Iran. Biden and co is doing Russia a favour by helping oil prices to rise.

Australia has to make a decision and I don't think we have the wherewithal to do it. Either we go all in on supporting an alliance of second level anti-China states on the assumption that the US will be neutral. Or we accept what is probably now inevitable, especially when we consider that Biden will be replaced by Harris in the new two years....that China has already won.
