USJoe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)
Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?
Serious question: how many PMCs would take that contract? Shooting backwards joggers and ragheads is one thing, but how do they plan on getting paid if their actions are answered with the spetznaz? They might work as bodyguards or for some secret squirrel shit, but you can't fight a war with them
The things you’re invoking would require will, cohesion, clarity of purpose, and most of all competence to pull off. The fact that things have progressed in the exact way they have means they precious little of any of those.
Biden goes where he's told. They can walk him right into a woodchipper if they want to. As to getting away with it, that's even easier. You obviously have no idea the laundry list of shit they've already gotten away with, or you wouldn't doubt the ease of it.
We aren't talking about the Democratic party here. We're talking about the people who tell Democratic and Republican parties what to do, while making sure that neither ever gains enough power to shake free of their control. The current state of things is not in spite of them. It's because of them. They want the Progressives humiliated as much as they want the Populists vilified.
Neither the voting bill nor BBB would benefit the status quo, since they want the Dems utterly dependent on corporate money to keep existing. They like the things that happen in a bipartisan manner, like massive cash bailouts for big business and an ever-expanding military budget. What they don't like is people with political power who don't need their money, like Trump. The permacheating vote bill and the trillions in money for dems to launder into their own pockets bill are both dead because the status quo demands that they must be. If it weren't Manchin or Sinema, it would be someone else.
Yes and no. The Russians created a fait accompli on the ground before the glowies even realized they were up to something. As far as I know, nobody's clear on how they did it.
There's been more Russian troops in Crimea than Ukrainian ones, and this has been the state for over a decade. There was no need for an invasion at all, all the troops had been there for a long time. They simply left their bases and surrounded Ukrainian bases, not letting anyone out.
Minnesota's a White Whale, as the Twin Cities are too strong. Illinois is too light blue, as are Washington and Oregon. NE-2 still goes Dem despite these margins?
I blame late and stupid Union leader who endorsed Biden for New Mexico's 2020 outcome, who fucked all of the workers over thanks to Keystone. Probably depends again if some retard workers' group president wants to strike twice.
"This guy claims he works for a newspaper and claims black people can think independently and aren't a collective mass of bad decisions, give him a thing we use for people who post content to the on-topic boards."
It's so weird when I see people ping Null for something that doesn't involve a direct response to something he said. 99% of the time it's for absolute nonsense.
Rapid Ready Brigades (or the modern equivalent): These are the units that can be wheels up in less then 12 hours. A LOT of forward support units (Now known as Sustainment Groups) that can get in, establish an FOB in hours, with light vehicles that can be moved by C5 or C141, with some infantry backup to provide support but usually MP's (that way you're just moving REMFs). The light armor, mechanized infantry, and chopper support units will be next. Watch to see how many air units are moved to Germany or other European bases.
SOCOM: If SOCOM suddenly goes red wire, you can be sure that some shit is up.
If National Guard units start getting rotated to Poland, Germany. That way they can get to the Ukraine quickly without the 9 hours of flight time from CONUS.
Now, interesting point: Obama Admin deactivated the last of the armored units in Germany in 2013, along with most of the other US assets in Europe. 2014 comes and the Ukraine gets invaded. Interesting, no?
BUT, another thing to watch for is if passes get revoked, people get pulled off of leave, and shit like that.
Watch for lots of planes hitting post air fields.
PMC's are all for shooting Snackbar guys, but fighting Russia? No.
Peace-side, watch the rhetoric. Notice that they aren't talking about how from the Ukraine you can hit Moscow with 10 minutes of flight time. If training standards are still the same, the Hawk guys (or whatever they have now) can get it from dead to in flight in less than 15 minutes. So, roughly 30 minutes from dead systems to missiles hitting.
Personally? This is a Europe thing. Let their super-elite broom handle trained militaries handle it.
You shouldn't. Writing had been on the wall since the 90s that unions were bad for the longevity of good workers careers. Great for making sure the alkie incompetents couldn't get fired, right up until the plant shut and that's about it.
I dont get the reasoning behind it. Why not meet with him? After all meeting with a sitting president makes goodwill while snubing him can only make bad goodwill, right?
It also taught me Jen Psaki was a glowie spokeswoman for the State Department before her current role as a Biden Press Janny.
It started in 2014 with the invasion of Crimea.
Pro-Sepratists groups on the border protested the new Ukrainian government as corrupt
Government cracks down on protests
Russia gives aid to Sepratists
Minor battles go on and off in 2014 until a ceasefire is made and almost immediately broken
Cools down in 2014 with minor developments until now
Modern development (2021-now)
April 2021: NATO decides to do the largest drill in decades called DEFENDER EUROPE 13 within Ukraine and pisses off Russia
Ukrainian spokespeople literally calling it for preperation for armed conflict with Russia
Russia doesn't want Ukraine in NATO, because it means missiles could hit Moscow in less than 10 minutes from that range
Russians mobilize on Ukrainian border
Ukraine asks for NATO membership
Russia says any further escalation would mean it could take a wide range of actions including destroy Ukraine if Russian citizens were harmed
Germany attempts to tard wrangle
September 2021: NATO does more drills in Ukraine, pissing off Russia more and says building up Ukrainian war supply was crossing a red line
US deploys warships in Black Sea, pissing off Russia more
Russia builds up 100k soldiers on the border
November 2021: Ukraine states Russia is trying to destroy its government; Russia declines.
Nov 30: Putin literally says its because of missiles in Ukraine being able to hit Moscow in 5-10 minutes depending on their tech, which is unacceptable to him

December 2021: Ukraine deploys 125k troops to combat Pro-Russian Sepratists on border, and even started to dronestrike them
Russia moves artillery to border
NATO gives Ukrainians more equipment, Russia states its giving Ukrainian forces supplies to "take dangerous steps" that will be suppressed.
January 2022: Britian starts giving Ukraine anti armor defenses, Russians arrive in Belarus for training and preparation
Biden says an invasion would be the biggest threat to world peace since WWII.
It seems like retarded saber rattling in Ukraine led to this stand off and continues to be the reason why the situation is deteriorating. And it all suspiciously started in the first few months of Biden's presidency.
You’re missing the blatant violation of Russia’s agreement made with the Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK signed strong security assurances along with Russia to have Ukraine give up it’s nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees that Ukraine will have its sovereignty and 1994 borders respected. There were also multiple instances of Russian sabre rattling over the past few years, like closing off half of the Black Sea and previous build ups. Ukraine has every right to join NATO as an independent state, and until Russia started making threats NATO was only stringing Ukraine along with no progress made despite Ukraine begging for a membership action plan.
Wonder how the Resident in Chief plans to negotiate with Germany once the Russians start pressuring them to try to kick us out of Rammstein and any other bases we might have in the area? The Ruskies have them by the balls and the throat with the gas situation.
