Watching the Biden admin is wild. At one minute he'll be escalating the wars in the Ukraine and Palestine, but the next he'll be funding the NLRB and addressing the housing crisis in a way that improves walk-ability.

It's like, he has two settings: "actually useful moderate" and "KILLKILLKILLKILL"

Unfortunately, this makes him the best US president since carter

Jesus Christ, Hexbear.

love too fund the NLRB after publicly breaking the power of the rail unions and setting worker power back another decade

US politicians only disagree (a little bit) on domestic policy, on foreign policy they're all in lock-step. that used to feel like a truism, but it's been proven very true.

Escalating the war in Ukraine? Please explain how the U.S. has "escalated" the full blown Russian invasion of Ukraine without sounding like a fool.

How about the usage of depleted uranium?

I don't know who you are personally, and you may not realise it, but you're parroting Russian propaganda. The only one here escalating is Russia when they kept bullying Ukraine and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. The West have been chastised for letting Putin get away with Crimean annexation, instead of further sanction. Many countries have also thought a charm offensive might satiate Putin, essentially appeasing. But history has shown, appeasement never works because an egomaniac will never be satisfied. Putin thought that he'd get away with it again when he invaded the entirety of Ukraine, but didn't realise it's the red line for the West, and the Ukrainians put up a stiff fight.
