The ”anti-imperialist” who drone striked Soleimani and almost started a war.

His bumbling hurts at least as much as it helps. He also rolled back the modest normalization efforts Obama had done with Iran and Cuba.

He also recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the Golan Heights as part of Israel. The Biden admin could've easily rolled back at least some of these, but of course they didn't.

And he did a some (failed and successful) coups in Latin America

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, he coup'd Bolvia and tried to coup Venezuela and reverted to crippling sanctions on Cuba.

he coup'd Bolvia

And then he failed che-laugh

I was there. They succeeded for a time. But it was reversed in 2021 or thereabouts.

What? I'm not going to thank Biden for that one just cause the coup failed under his watch.

What matters is that the coups will happen no matter the President and you shouldn't wantonly pick favorites.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't say you should thank Biden, in fact I didn't remember under whose watch the coup failed, I thought it was still under Trump. The coup failed nonetheless.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So if it failed nonetheless, I think it would've failed regardless of whether or not Biden or Trump were in office.

I think we agree that neither are better than the other.

I don't think anyone on this site would say Biden is markedly better than Trump, lol
