Biden-Harris are responsible for a disastrous humiliation in Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine and what looks exactly like genocide in Gaza.
The administration has a malign influence in the world, trying to subvert the Hungarian government and make France woke.
They preside over US decline, which might be a good thing.
They and their proxy the UK were defeated when they went to the aid of Israeli shipowners at risk from the Houthis. Many Americans and Englishmen could scarce forbear to cheer on the Houthis.
Worst the Biden and Harris left the American borders open while they interfered around the world.
My taxi driver today blamed America, and her desire for expansion, for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Most Bucharest taxi drivers seem to do so.
Behind the killing in Gaza he thought were Israelis discerning tourist industry and real estate opportunities. I thought of Mr Kushner.
He, the driver not Mr Kushner, reminded me to look at of the Baron in The Third Man, the one who played the violin at the nightclub. This put me off him, no doubt unfairly.
An interesting conversation with someone in the real world.
He might know more than the men and women who write for the papers. Taxi drivers often do. Discuss.
Rolling my eyes. Afghanistan - Trump had already baked that cake before leaving office. US borders "open"? - hardly, but they should be more open. Immigrants from troubled or impoverished places should be able to get a work visa for, say, a year, with the proviso that they then go home for six months before returning. The trouble now is that it's too difficult to get a visa, and if you jump the wall, you're stuck here. It's counter-productive. Ukraine - the notion that the US is after territory is ridiculous. What we have is a crowd of former USSR "near abroad" states who are VERY nervous about Russia's actions and intentions. OTOH, in Gaza, I agree - Israel absolutely wants to turn the place into a nice resort community for settlers retiring from America.
ReplyDeleteIn the real world, eh? Surely if America wanted more territory, it would prefer some closer to home. There have for years been people in Canada's prairie provinces who would love to sign up as the fifty-first through fifty-third states. Admitting them would gravely offend a neighbor, but could probably be done much more cheaply than arming the Ukraine.
