Should something happen to Biden, Kamala is woefully unprepared to be President. I don't care what people think of Biden or Trump, she is horrible in comparison to either one. IMHO, she is the #1 thing wrong about Biden, rated even before "he might be senile" and "he might be a crook/in bed with China/a Democrat/etc." If something happens to him, we are in deep, deep trouble.

I agree with what you're same to some extent, but we are already in deep, deep trouble.

Russia is not going to forgive us for giving Ukraine weapons used to kill Russians. There's just not going to any love for that.

And if China invades Taiwan, smart Biden will just declare war on China. (Even deeper, we'll get.)

The good news on that is that he (and she) are only going to be there for a little less than 9 months now... ;-)

Do you have a 6th sense that allows you to predict the outcome of
the 2024 presidential election?

Yes, I do. (Doesn't everybody?)

We all know, of course, that "predictions" are not always correct. ;-)

the only people i know who liked kamala are people who thougth she was black and that she would represent the black people well. if they'd look at her record they'd know there was no chance in hell of that.

Now, most liberal people are like poindexter and say nothing about their own party but will take shots at trump/conservatives/regligion. they are too ashamed of their own party to speak about it. they'll all vote for biden again
too.

The ones I am thinking of fall into your second category but, with this
being an election year and Trump being the opponent, have gone all in and
are now speaking up about how "great" Biden *and* Harris are. Granted,
they are usually doing it while taking a pot shot at Trump/conservatives/ religion, but they will defend either of them if they get any push-back.

You are right, though, there are still many in that second category who are still smart enough to remain quiet about it.

I will make the point here that Biden isn't prepared to be President either. Both Sleepy Joe and Kamala only do what they are told.

All we can home for is regime change and a moderate republic to replace
it, but the powers that be are too dug in. Here and in Russia.

I think people is not aware that Russians feel that, when the Soviet Union fell, the NATO kept kicking them in the ribs while they were down and the URSS had already declared defeat.

Ukraine is not THE problem as far as the Russian point of view is concerned. It is the straw that broke the camel's back after decades of NATO undermining Russian interests, sometimes in very hostile and dirty ways.

To put it bluntly: how would US officials feel if California and Texas separated from the Union but kept friendly relations with Washington, then Iran dragged them both away from the US sphere of influence, and finally placed military bases in them? No change in the US regime would change the fact Iran would be regarded as an enemy, alongside the politicians ruling formely friendly countries that are now hostile.

After a cold war where we had thousands of fucking strategic nukes
pointed at each other, you expect either side to just switch gears and
be trading partners? Change takes a generation or two.

What made the current Russian view make a whole lot of sense is looking
at Putin's Russia from the eyes of someone who's living in the cold war
and expecting an invasion from the west.

Nearly so.

Actually, we have given Putin and his friends arguments enough to expect foul play from the West for the past decades. An invasion? No, but a commitment to undermine Russian interests instead of reaching suitable agreements is quite of an open thing. There used to be document online with a good summary about the matter - still a veeeery long read. I wil post it if I find it.

The US was very quick to befriend the Spanish Fascist regime as soon as it fit their interests. I don't buy the argument that NATO and Russia aren't capable of switching gears if there is a will.

Meanwhile, have a look at this: The History Behind the Russia-Ukraine War, Scott Horton, 2022.

https://original.antiwar.com/scott/2022/03/02/the-history-behind-the-russia-ukraine-war/

"Again, not that it justifies what Putin has done here or the worsening problems that are almost certain to come from it. But many of his worst accusations about the actions of the U.S.-led West in Ukraine were true, including the breaking of Bush Sr.’s no NATO expansion promises, CIA support for the bin Ladenite terrorists in Chechnya, Libya and Syria and war against Serbia to break off Kosovo, the disaster of Iraq War II and Bush’s withdrawal from the ABM treaty, (again!) dual-use launchers at ABM sites in Eastern Europe, the 2014 coup and the subsequent and ongoing war in the east, including U.S. training for fighters, all the American and allied arms and advisers in the country since 2014 and cooperation with the U.S. Navy that he says puts the Russian Black Sea Fleet at risk. He also credibly claimed that the Ukrainian military had already been integrated with NATO and has given access to U.S. surveillance drones and planes."

Never underestimate what the CIA can get up to, or how it can (and likely
