    Typically when there's a leader with dementia, there's either a palace coup or endless infighting among the emir's advisors. Looks like we get the second. Yay.

    Imperialism was never competent. Look how they fouled up Iraq. Syria. Libya. Where did they not screw things up? They just like launching wars, they're good at that. Winning them, not so much. They don't suffer the consequences of their actions, so why should they stop? I'm just glad and amazed Hillary didn't get a cabinet spot.

      Okay.

      I'm referring to the old Trump vs. Biden comparison in which many folks believed that a Biden administration would result in a comparative cohesive foreign policy that is worse for the global south than four more years of a bumbling Trump administration that was hamstrung by factionalism within the administration, plus Trump himself who was, for example, skittish about retaliating against Iran for that drone that they shot down.

      Looks like we aren't getting that cohesive foreign policy, at least not yet.
