Seriously?
What do we get from Pakistan and India other than cheap, incompetent labor?
They want to engage in a nuclear war (not!)? Let them.

I love hearing how concerned you Lefties are with foreign relations...Aren’t the majority of you America Haters longing for the day when we send a pole puffer or rug munching feminazi to keep relations solid in the Middle East? Imagine man-gravy gargling Pete Buttigieg expecting world leaders to take him serious....Let me guess, you wouldn’t give two fucks if they didn’t respect your fudge packer just as long as you got your fudge packer...right?

Seriously?No they won't and never did.Why should the US pay the bills of other nations?Deft statesmanship and diplomatic finesses are not necessarily the tools that an egomaniacal, failed casino operator and faded reality-tv performer brings to the international stage.
The global consensus that Trump reeks leaves a stench upon America.
America’s image has tumbled during Trump’s presidency.Can Biden turn it around?The Gallup organization conducts annual surveys assessing how others assess U.S. leadership. In 20 of 29 countries where Gallup has completed these surveys, approval ratings “are at new lows or they tie the previous low,” according to the report released last week. Among the countries where approval hit new lows are two of the nation’s staunchest allies, Germany and Britain.Four years ago, before Trump became president, 43 percent of Germans had a positive impression of the United States as a leader in the world. Today just 6 percent approve. In the United Kingdom, 15 percent say they approve. More Russians — 18 percent — approve of American leadership internationally than Brits or Germans.
Gallup’s findings square with a Pew Research Center report of a few months ago. Pew’s regular survey asks whether people elsewhere have a favorable or unfavorable view of the United States. Among the nations where favorable impressions hit record lows or roughly tied them this year were a who’s who of traditional friends: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Canada and Australia.[President Biden,] the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has promised to reengage constructively with other nations, as has his designee for secretary of state, Antony Blinken. That will begin with allies in Europe, who have been treated badly by the current president.“When he thinks foreign policy, he thinks allies, and when he thinks allies, he thinks Europe,” said Ivo Daalder, former ambassador to NATO ...Trump has spurned or hectored allies in Europe and questioned the value of transatlantic alliances. Biden will embrace them all.Showing up and saying the right words will be helpful in changing perceptions of the United States, but that might be only a first step in what could be a more challenging mission.Biden will look to European allies for help in dealing with some of the most important foreign policy issues that await him, from U.S. posture toward Russia to Biden’s desire to change relations with Iran after Trump pulled out of the joint nuclear agreement.View attachment 431481..........The Great Flatulence should cling to power!

We knew OBL wasn't in Afghanistan but in Pakistan but we stayed in Afghanistan because Pakistan bends over for us.

Can't wait for Corrupt Joe Biden to place his quivering lips on the asses of the Mullahs of Iran if we are so unfortunate to have him in office and validate the coup he fronted.
Until January 20, you'll have to satisfy your lust with lascivious evocations of the cult leader's seductive terpsichore:
It's very odd that you would actually evoke Reagan who secretly sold arms to the Khomeini government of the Islamic republic, in violation of an arms embargo. When Reagan's scandal broke, it was quite the embarrassment for the U.S. both here and abroad.One of the worst nations on the planet and the left can't to prostrate themselves before Iran. Fuck!
The same was said of Reagan, that the rest of the world looked down on the US.
I guess when you have a president like Reagan or Trump we realize that you can't
please everyone so OP-ED writers at the NY Times can fuck off and the sycophants that post
trash like this can go with them.
What is America's opinion of the German leader, by the way?
If you fear that President Biden will repeat Reagan's treachery, please take solace in the fact that no one else entertains your bizarre notion.
Apparently, some are convinced that being a repulsive, unreliable object of ridicule is the path to global pre-eminence.
The current American electorate and history differ.

That will begin with allies in Europe, who have been treated badly by the current president.“When he thinks foreign policy, he thinks allies, and when he thinks allies, he thinks Europe,” said Ivo Daalder, former ambassador to NATO ...Trump has spurned or hectored allies in Europe and questioned the value of transatlantic alliances. Biden will embrace them all.Showing up and saying the right words will be helpful in changing perceptions of the United States, but that might be only a first step in what could be a more challenging mission.Biden will look to European allies for help in dealing with some of the most important foreign policy issues that await him, from U.S. posture toward Russia to Biden’s desire to change relations with Iran after Trump pulled out of the joint nuclear agreement.View attachment 431481..........The Great Flatulence should cling to power!

We do so they will do as we say.
Of course they do. We don't go into Pakistan any other way.
We knew OBL wasn't in Afghanistan but in Pakistan but we stayed in Afghanistan because Pakistan bends over for us.
What do we get from Pakistan and India other than cheap, incompetent labor?
They want to engage in a nuclear war (not!)? Let them.
I told you what we got. We got the ability to invade Pakistan without them retaliating or saying a word.
So you're a neo con then?
You're very welcome. Whatever provides a catharsis for people like you, I'm all for it!Nah, calling you Lefties out on your nonstop contradicting ignorance is calming for me...but thanks for your concern.I love hearing how concerned you Lefties are with foreign relations...Aren’t the majority of you America Haters longing for the day when we send a pole puffer or rug munching feminazi to keep relations solid in the Middle East? Imagine man-gravy gargling Pete Buttigieg expecting world leaders to take him serious....Let me guess, you wouldn’t give two fucks if they didn’t respect your fudge packer just as long as you got your fudge packer...right?
One of these days, I swear, your HEAD is going to literally EXPLODE.
What a smug non reply that was Mac....Do you ever engage someone without looking down your nose at them?

Can't wait for Corrupt Joe Biden to place his quivering lips on the asses of the Mullahs of Iran if we are so unfortunate to have him in office and validate the coup he fronted.
Until January 20, you'll have to satisfy your lust with lascivious evocations of the cult leader's seductive terpsichore:
It's very odd that you would actually evoke Reagan who secretly sold arms to the Khomeini government of the Islamic republic, in violation of an arms embargo. When Reagan's scandal broke, it was quite the embarrassment for the U.S.One of the worst nations on the planet and the left can't to prostrate themselves before Iran. Fuck!
The same was said of Reagan, that the rest of the world looked down on the US.
I guess when you have a president like Reagan or Trump we realize that you can't
please everyone so OP-ED writers at the NY Times can fuck off and the sycophants that post
trash like this can go with them.
What is America's opinion of the German leader, by the way?
If you fear that President Biden will repeat reagan's treachery, please take solace in the fact that no one else entertains your bizarre notion.
Some are convinced that being a repulsive, unreliable object of ridicule is the path to global pre-eminence.
The American electorate and history differ.
Obama did the same thing. Why would you think Biden wouldn't?

I'm sure you had an orgasm when Obama sent 150 Billion in cash to the murderous Mullahs of Iran.Can't wait for Corrupt Joe Biden to place his quivering lips on the asses of the Mullahs of Iran if we are so unfortunate to have him in office and validate the coup he fronted.

We will need to be on our best behavior.
You mean like Obama and bomb the crap out of a bunch of countries so Biden can get a Nobel Peace Prize also?
