Imagine the World if the USA became isolationist. She has told China, and Russia, stay out of North America - but the rest of the world is yours to do with as you wish.

The USA haters, the EU Anti-Trumpers, et al will soon learn that their Leftist ideologies will not save them. Eventually, they will be begging the USA for help.

The aforementioned powers are not run by simpletons; consequently, they will not do anything similar to the "Bombing of Pearl Harbor", but they will test Biden because he is viewed as a weakling who gained power by indoctrinating the American public with repetitive lies.

Biden reminds me of Neville Chamberlain. He thinks that if we appease China, Russia, and the Mullahs, then all will be fine. Perhaps of greater concern is that there are no longer any Churchillian figures in the USA. Trump undid Obama's appeasement of Russia and China - and look what the Far Left did to him.

Wow!  Russia and China together might be able to do what the US did more than 50 years ago.

you really think they're joining forces and spending billions to hit a golf ball? Wouldn't surprise me in the least if some application towards weaponry is involved..

That logic was valid in the 1960's.  Today, not so much.  There are far more cost-effective ways to develop and deploy weapons, on Earth and in space, than by going to the moon.

it's just not 'going' like the Americans did, it's the establishment of a base -

Pass the $1.9 trillion covid relief bill, send two carrier strike groups for exercises in the South China Sea, undo a lot of Trump executive orders...

Biden didn't pass anything, congress did.  9% of which is Covid relief, the rest is pork- a lot of it not scheduled to be spent for years.  On the SCS, he's only continuing the policies of Trump, and have a look at the streams of migrants wearing "Biden, let us in" T- shirts to see what undoing a lot of Trump's executive orders has accomplished.  On average, 10% of them are testing positive for Covid once they're in the USA.  In some areas and batches, it's up to 50%.  Job well done, Joe!

Sure, the White House plays no part in getting legislation enacted. Do you have any knowledge of all about how major bills get proposed and crafted in the USA?  It wasn't the White House that was the architect of the legislation? Biden wasn't engaged in negotiations with Congress?

But if you're correct, does this mean that Trump should get no credit for legislation passed during his administration? Is that your way of saying that all the bad legislation that was enacted during his term wasn't his fault?

Right, and Trump didn't pass a tax cut, Congress did.  Trump didn't cause an economic recovery, it began under Obama, Etc. 

 

Trump never confronted China with two carrier task forces in the South China Sea.  So much for claims that Biden would be weak when confronted by China.

 

I never considered illegal immigration to be a threat to the US, so I'm in favor of a more humane policy on the border.

They can control the global cheese supply, manipulate prices. It could be a very smelly business.

A good read until, "...as the result of lazy, ignorant British foreigners...". Your credibility vanished after that.

at the time it was lazy, ignorant British foreigners, as they were the ones that colonised Myanmar and called it Burma.
