They don't want to be pariahs in the global economy. Both the US and China invaded Vietnam in the past 50 years. Imagine how much worse off the Vietnamese would be if they held a grudge against both of them.

I love the image of an American president sitting under a giant bust of Ho Chi Minh.

Even if Biden made a good faith attempt at a BRI like initiative to develop other countries infrastructure, no sovereign nation in their right mind would take it. Americans cannot plan that far in advance to build their own infrastructure. 2 years after USBRI gets passed into law, the budget for it would get cut in negotiations with the new Congress. 2 years later it would get more budget cuts or get scrapped completely by a new president. Our system does not have the capability to do any sort of long term projects with any efficiency.

The DreamWorks smirk is so unfitting for RGB.

Maybe the ploy is to time it so it's mostly next year. Spend 9 months fishing around for anything then launch impeachment in late summer or early fall 24.

Not only do I not put my hand over my heart or stand during the pledge, I convinced my friend who is also a teacher to not do it.

My friend was streaming Red Zone. It was a little chaotic for me but he seemed to enjoy it. No commercials and you see the highlights of all the games.

For some it was a gain.
