Definitely, he never should’ve run and the other candidates never should have endorsed him as they dropped, especially since Sanders actually had steam and could’ve easily fulfilled the “Not Trump” space that Biden claimed he needed to be there to fill.

But, neoliberals are gonna neolib.

Ok, so Haitians are just pre-disposed to violence and savagery and it’s best to just let them eat eachother to death. Got it.

You’re sure you’re not the imperialist?

Not an answer. You literally don’t have one, all you’ve got is “America bad”.

Welp, the US is sitting this one out, so now’s your chance to offer a solution on how to help without US interference.

I’d imagine it’s connected to both. Russia and China are the main antagonists to US hegemony, hoping they’ll get to be the next empire if they can drive enough of a wedge between western allies and get enough debt colonialism going in SA and Africa.

So yeah, they are fostering crisis, authoritarian sentiment, and spinning anti-democratic narrative wherever they can, but Israel’s genocide and complete disregard for things like the ICC/ICJ (the kinds of institutions upon which the post-war rules based order is supposed to rest) has only further degraded US international standing. Biden vetoing UN resolutions and chastising the international courts for investigating Israel does not help.

Biden’s whole election schtick was that he was there to reassure the rest of the world after Trump’s carastrophic administration, and now he’s showing his ass anyway.

You do understand Haiti is being run by gangs at the moment, right? Close to a hundred thousand people have fled the capital city, this isn’t some righteous revolution or something, it’s a bunch of small time fascists taking advantage of a weak state and an unwillingness by the US to get involved try to seize power.

The UN and US are providing funding to help Kenya provide some kind of security. Whats your alternative? Let Haiti burn?

Well, good I suppose, though I feel like this could be sort of a desperate attempt to shore up geopolitical influence that’s being deflated by our relationship with Israel.

Post-WWII rules based order is kind of disintegrating and neoliberals are scrambling to prop it up without actually admitting to why it’s failing.

It kind of puts things into perspective when you realize that Ronald Reagan withheld munitions to strong arm the Israeli regime into stopping their bombing of Lebanon. Biden is to the right of Reagan here, that’s how far the Overton window has been moved and why Biden is struggling to get the Democratic base to vote for him even against a convicted felon; he’s not a Democrat in any meaningful sense of the word.

No hate like Christian love, as they say.

We all do what our bones allow us to, that’s all that can be asked.

No handing over needed, we will pry them from Biden and McConnell’s dead hands, turn the cart around 180 degrees and then make it do a kickflip over their corpses.

I mean, I’m still gonna call it twitter.

They probably don’t actually get much. Fascists kind of instinctively back eachother up.
