Over nukes, that's what the post was about. They wanted stronger measures against Russia as the old warheads are not what Russia is interested in anymore.

The facts on the ground about how Trump governed make that a monstrous lie. If you won't see that reality not much point in even trying to discuss anything much is there ?
------------------------------------
Key indicators of Trump admin trashing good governance
and another thousand or so examples. His overall failure to ensure good goverance on basic administration activities is well summed up in the following article.
- Appointing various family members to government positions with no effective skills or qualifications
- Using his position as President to enrich his family enterprises
- Undermining the capacity of the Us government to deal with the corona virus
- Attempting to strong arm State electoral officials to overturn the election results
But this is a Biden presidency thread so maybe we refocus ?
Trump’s failed presidency
Elaine Kamarck writes that President Trump's failure to respond adequately to the pandemic is an example of a flaw shared by many modern presidents: an inability to shift gears from campaigning to actually governing. Results, she writes, not spin, will be what decides his fate at the ballot box.www.brookings.edu
"These sorts of people"
That's basically a big "Fcuk you" statement to everyone on that list.
Aside from governing better than the previous Administration, Biden now has to cut through social media that has little capacity for honesty.My statement wasn’t limited to just the people mentioned here, I was talking more broadly about the Fox News type people who have allowed their social media algorithms to confine them to an echo chamber.
It’s true you can’t have a rational conversation with people like that because they think everything is a conspiracy, and think the worst of everything.
They allow themselves to be bombarded with so much misinformation and craziness, that no other rational thought can break through.

Perhaps political "discussion" (and I use that term loosely) has run its course at ASF? This thread is the biggest waste of database space I think I have ever seen in almost seventeen years. I don't think any interesting debate or discussion is likely to happen in this thread, or any other political thread at ASF.
There's nothing of value, or of interest, going on here. It's an intellectual dead zone.
Joe the US and to some extent Australian political threads simply reflect the current state of play in the US.
When we started to depend on them for our defense. (That won't change)When did we become the 51st state of the USA?
Interesting to see how well that ages.Wow.
Biden revokes Trump order that shielded U.S. power grid from Chinese involvement
President Joe Biden has rescinded an executive order of former President Donald Trump that was designed to prevent foreign countries meddling with the U.S. power grid. Trump's order specifically prohibited "any acquisition, importation, transfer, or installation" of bulk-power system (BPS) electrical equipment by "foreign adversaries."
The deplorables"These sorts of people"
That's basically a big "Fcuk you" statement to everyone on that list.
China is definitively pushingIt will be interesting to see how the U.S respond to China's Taiwan flyovers, funny they didn't do when Trump was in office, that's one advantage of a U.S president who is unpredictable.
It probably wont be long before China ups the anti on Taiwan and commences integration. IMO It will be interesting to see how Biden handles it.
China sends more fighters and bombers through Taiwan's airspace
Just days after Joe Biden's inauguration as US President, China tests the new administration by repeatedly flying military aircraft including nuclear-capable bombers into Taiwanese airspace.www.abc.net.au
Hong Kong had the port and worlds best container management system, they needed to copy. Taiwan has got a first world chip manufacturing industry, China needs to copy.China is definitively pushing
We jave already seen the Biden administration ramping up its too old record of anti Russia Xi is believing, as i do, that with Biden, he is free to go on Taiwan.
Poor Taipei..like HK was, a great place for Chinese culture.
They must have cried when Trump was overthrown
I don't understand why some people have invested so much emotion into an election and a political system in another country, seemingly above and beyond our own elections and political system.
U.S. elections used to be an over-the-top sideshow that we watched from the sidelines every four years and then shrugged and moved on when the results were announced. It was viewed with a very detached passing interest that disappeared just as quickly as it appeared.
Now we have Australians not just actively supporting candidates in the U.S. Presidential election, but campaigning for them online, and becoming very upset or elated when their candidate loses or wins.
When did we become the 51st state of the USA? I must have missed it. Sorry, but I find this all a little bizarre, and I hope I'm not alone.
You are right,he is just a corrupt nobody as many predecessors.while i was deeply disappointed by Obama who xas just a puppet, i do not believe he was corrupt.I think Trump was such a departure from previous POTUSes that he generated a lot of emotion, both for and against.
That's very obvious here.
The good thing about Biden's victory is that he is a mild mannered , relatively bland person that does not generate a great deal of hatred , apart from a few extreme groups, so the atmosphere will settle down as he gets into the job.
I feel a calming influence already.
