Remember when we were told that Biden brought tons of foreign policy experience? That this would be a new age of diplomacy, a complete break from bull in a china shop Trump? That countries would love the U.S. again? That they would respect the U.S. again? Funny how these foreign crisis keep cropping up
US citizens urged to leave Belarus immediately
The Biden administration is urging U.S. citizens in Belarus to depart the country immediately and warned against travel there in a statement published Monday.
The updated travel warning comes after bordering countries Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have stepped up security along the border over concerns about Russian Wagner mercenary forces exiled in the country.
The State Department, in its warning, encouraged Americans still in Belarus to depart the country immediately and categorized the country as a Level 4 risk, the highest security warning.
Belarus’s longtime leader Alexander Lukashenko, known as Europe’s last dictator, has been a key facilitator of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, and is under a catalog of U.S. sanctions for human rights abuses and political repression against Belarusian people who challenged his claim to election victory in 2020.
The U.S. mission in Belarus is scaled down and only handles emergency American Citizen Services.
It’s like a repeat of the Obama admin, when Biden was vice president.
(Washington Times) After all, the unpredictable amateurs in the Trump administration delivered broader peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors, stronger ties with Britain and Japan, and relative calm in Afghanistan. They also put Russian President Vladimir Putin in a box, eliminated Lt. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the world’s most sinister terrorist, and kept Communist China on its side of the Taiwan Strait. But don’t worry, The Washington Post and The New York Times said — the experts would restore America’s rightful place at the Davos gabfest. (snip)
U.S. forces left Afghanistan with dozens of young service members dead and our reputation in tatters. The experts did not even have the decency to tell the British, French, Dutch and Italians that we were leaving. Boris Johnson could not get a return phone call. The whiz kids said the Abraham Accords was a public relations stunt and proceeded to hand the theocratic fanatics in Tehran $150 billion in exchange for not developing nuclear weapons until after the Biden administration departs. At the same time, the Arabs and Israelis now look to their collective defense and have even contacted the Russian dictator, Mr. Putin, because they can’t trust the administration to combat the mullahs.
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping is telling the Biden administration exactly what he wants to do to Taiwan and the West. Yet the White House does not seem to believe him. Mr. Xi has plainly stated that a forced unification of Taiwan with the mainland is an option. He has already wrecked Hong Kong’s democratic autonomy. He has threatened Australia, India, the Philippines and Vietnam while militarizing the South China Sea. But Taiwan is the key. To the Chinese Communist Party, an independent, democratic Taiwan represents a century of humiliation. Gaining control of Taiwan establishes Beijing’s hegemony over the most vital areas of the Pacific.
Yet, Biden is more intent on appeasing China and working with them on ‘climate change’. North Korea is getting frisky (the Washington Times piece is from January 2023). The OPEC nations told Biden to pound sand on higher oil production. Let’s not forget the utter mess when the Biden admin evacuated the US embassy in Sudan, giving little notice to regular citizens (in fairness, they should have known how dangerous the nation was), and pretty much left them hanging in the wind. Oh, and, hey, allowing a Chinese balloon to fly over the entire US before shooting it down in the Atlantic Ocean. Even the NY Times said Biden’s foreign policy is a mess. Just imagine how much worse it would be if he was working more than 30 hours a week and not taking every weekend off?
The Obama3 administration doesn’t have enough blood on it’s hands? It needs to start another war.
It’s not another war professor Hale it’s a continuation of the first one*. I didn’t expect the Ukraine to last this long but I guess with America pumping as much money and as we have we kept it alive. The only thing that can save the Ukraine now is nuclear war. The Ukraine is about to collapse. I know that everybody here thinks the opposite is true but that’s because just like with COVID and climate they believe the bullshit.
Right now the common lie that the junta is putting out there is that we’ve put in $113 billion into Ukraine. That’s a lie. If we’ve put $1.00 we’ve put 150 billion in.
Be prepared for the left to start crying about bringing in Ukrainian immigrants to protect them. The only way we can get the left to bring in white immigrants is if they’re white Nazis.
* the administration can never have enough blood on their hands no leftist can. They start killing them in the Womb and they keep on killing them until there ain’t no more left. And blame it on Trump. Don’t you think the Democrats that run these big cities could stop or at least cut back black on black crime if they wanted to? Just arrest the SOB’s. But they’re too busy trying to figure out ways to arrest trump supporters and keep them locked up in prison without a trial. SOP for communists and Nazis.
Commenter: They (liberals) start killing them in the Womb (sic) and they keep on killing them until there ain’t no more left.
And yet there are plenty left.

The United States has the largest prison population on Earth, and yet we still have crime.

No one was arrested for being a Trump supporter; they WERE arrested for committing crimes associated with the violent attack on the United States Capitol.
We’re pleased that conservatives agree with the DOJ that while some arrestees are so potentially dangerous that they are denied bail, most of the arrestees were given bail and freed. For those still held, if/when they are convicted they receive credit for time already served.
