'A similar challenge': how Joe Biden echoes Kennedys on US foreign policy
www.theguardian.com
The president does not just share Irish roots with John, Robert and Ted Kennedy – he also wants to lead America in the world

Also get a load of this ideology:

“Not coincidentally, as the Chinese have aggressively promoted this style of governance far beyond their borders, we have not promoted freedom and democracy around the world in recent years as aggressively as we had in earlier periods. And while our reluctance to do so was particularly acute under President Trump, President Obama did not promote freedom and democracy very consistently either and the freedom agenda of George W Bush ran out of steam around 2006, 2007.”

      Lmao what an insane way to phrase it to, we just “ran out of steam”, like no shit I wonder why, is it maybe because the war was a complete failure at achieving its stated goals?

      Ahem. Don't you know this guy was a communications director for noted good guy (i.e. blue) Albert Arnold Gore Jr. Blue no matter who, sweaty.

      Also, apparently he's a senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council, and if you want a heaping dose of fearmongering, imperialist ideology, check the headlines on that homepage.
