America's back!!!!!!!!!
"The operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and coalition personnel."
(unless they are journalists in Saudi embassies). This action of course makes American's "safer" whilst restoring world trust in US leadership.

Deportations still occurring, no relief checks yet, ME regime wars continuing. Full of eloquent talk but full of shit as Obama was which saw the rise of Trump. Well done Biden & Co. Who says history never repeats.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.You'll get roasted by Americans I'm sure, but I get your point. Americans are quick to condemn the world for its inadequacies while maintaining at home a corrupt political and legal system, an archaic and corrupt voting system, government agencies that intervene in the world covertly where ever and whenever they like, while squealing like pigs when other countries interfere with the US, conducts extraordinary rendition (kidnapping) enhanced interrogation (torture) and collateral damage (death of innocents) while singing loudly about American ideals and exceptionalism. And then again there are the gross social, economic and racial inequalities of the US. If any country in this world needs to clean up its own act, its the US. Americans will always take such comments as anti Americanism, which it isn't because my solidarity is with millions of good Americans who live under their corrupt system. If you, or anyone, expect Biden to make fundamental changes to America, disappointment will follow. His goal is to revert to Obama minimalism, with some window dressing in the hope of winning the next elections.

Lots of complaints and no solutions. What steps have you personally taken to address the inadequacies you've identified?
As I'm not a member of the US ruling class, nothing. You got me.
Solutions
Reform of electoral system, creation of a national independent electoral authority, electoral systems based on electoral science.
Multiparty political system to represent the country's diversity, not a binary system run by the ruling elite.
Real oversight of the military and US agencies, full transparency of past programs, actions and criminality through release of all files.
Judicial reform, end political appointments and corruption on courts.
Tax reform, end corporate tax minimalization and legal protection from fraud, greater corporate regulation, end US corporate socialism, creation of a proper social and health safety net, which millions of Americans want.
Prison reform.
End corruption between the US military industrial corporate security agency complex and the US entertainment and news industry, end asset placement and propaganda collusion between these.
For starters.
@David1955 My point is that those of us on the ground doing anything we can to bring about the type of changes you've suggested are not assisted by armchair quarterbacks. Unless you have a way to help, criticism of US domestic policy is unwelcome, particularly as every country could use improvement of its own.
Opinion on US foreign policy is fair game provided it is based on facts, but the OP of this post is a closet con that has been a Trump apologist for as long as I can remember. This post is merely a continuation of his right wing rhetoric that causes most of his posts to be ignored.
@David1955 Anyone with functioning grey matter could read that I was referring to the person who made the original post, but thanks for showing your true colors.
Exactly zero Americans have any interest in what you think, and understandably so. Perhaps read up on what "domestic policy" means.
Iranian militia killed an American. The response was appropriate and proportional. Russia put bounties on the lives of American GI and Trump didn't respond. President Biden did the right thing. He also declassified the report proving MBS ordered the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khoshoggi. The report that Donald Trump covered up. It took Trump 4 years to fuck everything up. Joe Biden's been president for four weeks. You don't know what you're talking about. I don't claim to be an expert on kangaroos. Stay in your lane. .

America never went anywhere, just an ill-mannered and uneducated minority.

@powder It's all a game that the .01% play with our lives. America is no better or worse than any country with the same amount of clout would be.
