Trump is Biden, only more so?

President Trump called for peace in Ukraine, but . . .

 

. . . he quickly renewed a Biden executive order that declared Russia to pose "an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States".

 

 

Imagine initiating . . .

 

. . . purported peace negotiations by essentially asserting that Russia represents Satan's worst traits:

 

 

Specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the Russian Federation—in particular, efforts to undermine the conduct of free and fair democratic elections and democratic institutions in the United States and its allies and partners;

 

to engage in and facilitate malicious cyber-enabled activities against the United States and its allies and partners;

 

to foster and use transnational corruption to influence foreign governments;

 

to pursue extraterritorial activities targeting dissidents or journalists;

 

to undermine security in countries and regions important to United States national security;

 

and to violate well-established principles of international law, including respect for the territorial integrity of states—continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.

 

For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14024, which was expanded in scope in Executive Order 14066, and with respect to which additional steps were taken in Executive Orders 14039, 14068, 14071, and 14114, must continue in effect beyond April 15, 2025.

Notice that . . .

 

The renewed order still includes reference to the Democratic Party's disproven allegation that Russia had interfered with the 2016 US election in Trump's implied favor.

 

The inclusion of that concocted allegation — in Trump's own extension of the Biden order — provides persuasive evidence that President Trump remains just as carelessly and impulsively airheaded and self-sabotaging, as many of his former aides have claimed him to be.

 

 

The moral? — From one cognitively impaired warmonger to another?

 

Serially aggressive dumbassery residing in the United States' presidential office says something about the declining quality of our American experience.

 

Historically knowledgeable people cannot help but notice that the Biden-Trump order lists actions that the United States itself performs on a daily basis. And does so, to a far greater extent than any other country ever has.

 

In short, not only do we lead supposed peace negotiations with a series of diplomatically unhelpful punches, we also accuse the Other Side of wrongly doing what we routinely do as a matter of deeply engrained US policy.

 

So, would you want to deal with these American imbeciles and their very long record of virtually never keeping their word?
