    A president has already gotten away with it. Trying to selectively punish Biden now is actually a bit of hypocrisy. We should have done it in the first place. But we largely got in that position because of people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Clinton, etc.

    Biden’s moves are optically bad. But make a lot of sense as far as strategy goes. Traditionally. You have a much more powerful position to bargain as an ally than as an enemy. But that does not stop people like yourself from making hyperbolic claims.

    Don’t get me wrong. Eileen, libertarian and communist. I have no real investment in Biden. I’m simply intelligent enough to know that he or Trump are going to win. And that he is by far the better choice. Which you yourself said. You just want to make some example of him despite your own face etc.

      What an unspeakably evil thing to say about genocide.

      We should have done it in the first place. But we largely got in that position because of people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Clinton, etc.

      As if Hillary Clinton would have punished anybody.

          Israel is doing it. Not Biden.

          Biden is pouring weapons into it.

          Soviet Union slaughtered millions.

          Those poor Nazi soldiers!

          China is actually directly causing genocide too

          Really? How many people have died?

          Now one country committing genocide is never an excuse for another country to do it.

          You probably should have just tried to use it as one then.
