After four years of Joe Biden, China’s leaders would likely be relieved to have Donald Trump back in the White House.
***
But Biden has hit China harder than Trump ever did. Armed with a more determined foreign policy, he has inflicted acute damage on the country’s economy and geopolitical ambitions, from which China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has struggled to recover.

The most telling example is Biden’s technology policy. In 2022, his administration effectively barred the export to China of advanced semiconductors and the complex equipment required to manufacture them. The controls will likely set back China’s hopes of building a competitive chip industry for years and hamper its progress in other key tech sectors, such as artificial intelligence.

Biden has revitalized the American-led global alliance network that had atrophied under Trump, and has marshaled its power to counter China. The advanced democracies in the Group of Seven have displayed an unusual degree of coordination on Biden’s watch, agreeing in 2023 to a common approach to decrease their reliance on the Chinese economy. Biden has also fostered closer ties with new partners, especially India, to compete with Chinese influence in the developing world. Biden’s success has apparently alarmed a Chinese leadership fearful of becoming encircled and contained by a coalition of American allies.

This reads like one of the Justin Fields fluff pieces that Tempo posts!

Trying to think of any Justin Fields fluff pieces I’ve posted. I’ve posted statistical data. Cant recall any fluff pieces. Too late for hype. We’ve been through that.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

"Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a bill to provide aid to Ukraine and Israel over a lack of border provisions in the measure."

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4345952-ukraine-israel-funding-senate-republicans/

Maybe the Biden admin could have the CIA sell meth, oxy, and fentanyl to Trump voters, then use the profits to help Ukraine and Israel?

The CIA has been doing that for decades.

Maybe the Senate could do their jobs and strike a bipartisan deal to secure our own border instead of simply sending another 111 billion overseas into the financial black hole that is Ukraine and the Middle East. Bernie voted with the “hard right” Republicans for chrissakes.

That's like saying you can't do volunteer work because your lawn needs mowed. Do both.

Maybe the Senate could pass a distinct, clean border security bill instead of attaching extraneous riders to foreign aid commitments?

The CIA sold crack in black neighborhoods to create slave prison labor and used the profits to prop up right wing dictators.

Bernie's opposition to the bill has nothing to do with border security. He doesn't want to send Netenyahoo a whole bunch of money without strings attached. That is a nice way to put it.

Bernie supports aid to Israel in general.

I think the Democrats and WH need some space and time here to come up with a good solution that can work for everyone.  But they are going to swallow some bitter pills on border security that will piss off immigration advocacy groups though their broader political impacts might actually be positive.

I dunno, maybe it's because I don't live in a state surrounded by water (FL) or a state surrounded by Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin, but I don't get this whole thing. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Ukraine's border was crossed by thousands of Russians with tanks, artillery, etc...

What's the big threat coming over our Southern Border? Dishwashers and cabbage pickers? Scary!

Israel, Ukraine, border security...and Taiwan.   A little something for everyone.

You mean like the Gang of 8 bill in 2013 that passed the Senate 68-32 that Boehner wouldn't send to the house floor for certain passage?  GMAFB!  The elephants have never been serious about comprehensive immigration reform including border security.  They'd much rather just grift off of it.   You know, Christine Values!
