And you thinkTrump is more capable of diplomatic solutions than Biden or Harris? If so, can I borrow $200?
I mean, there was a lot less war during Trump’s administration than during Biden’s. The results speak for themselves.
It's easy to avoid wars when you cave in to every dictator and abandon your allies. Did you forget how bad Trump failed Syria? Remember how Trump handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban?
Biden/cabinet was horrible at diplomacy other than subjugating colonies harder. No talks with Russia. While GOP hawks criticized him for sending cabinet to China, they would just go there an lecture BS propaganda from Beijing. Trump 45 made deals with China and DPRK. It's to be seen, whether his ultra hawkish cabinet can do the same, but he does have a history of claiming victory through deals, no matter how minimal of a change they produce.
It often feels as though we live in a country of collective amnesia. Were people truly unaware of the events of the past four years?
Yup. When Trump was President last, women could be police officers and go to school in Afghanistan. Since Biden took office, they’ve lost the right to go to school and the female police officers of Afghanistan were simply rounded up and shot.
And that is because Trump negotiated with the Taliban and not the Afghani government. He handed them the country.
Lies. Biden did negotiate with Russia.

When we were not willing to negotiate is yielding Ukrainian territory and people to Russia. Doing so would only embolden them to try and take more.
Trump's "deal" was never upheld by China. Trump is a sucker who got conned by real politicians.

Why the fuck would we negotiate with North Korea. The only thing they have to offer is giving up their nukes and that isn't going to happen. We can only lose.
Covid happened, then Biden admin escalated against China instead of trying to keep deal upheld. Brazil has had good crop yields in addition to not being on a demonic path to instigating war with China, and so begging to remake the deal while declaring victory is one path to saving US agricultural sector while also promising to destroy it through deportation programs. To be seen, what happens next.
You didn't read the article. The US upheld their part of the deal, China did not. They conned Trump.
Have you been living on another planet for the past four years?
You don't read international news sources, do you?
You might read but chose to ignore the facts!
