I don't know about China, but Biden is really throwing stones from glass houses here as the leader of a country which is teetering on the edge of civil war, had a full blown insurrection in the past few years, and not only has it failed to prosecute the leader and instigator, it has allowed him to run for election again and there is a possibility of him being elected.

And this is not mentioning that so many in the highest offices "on both sides" are so hilariously corrupt in a country with its national ethos being "the land of the free".

I'm not happy about this by the way, I don't think a world order built by China would be better than the shitty one we got from the US.

I believe the correct spelling is "Land of the free^*" ^* terms and conditions may apply

We're not teetering on the edge of a civil war, the rednecks are just rednecking again, no news here.

It's like if you had a motion in the UN and north Korea objected and the media said "Uhoh, looks like the UN is divided!"

Rednecks need to object, it's the only way functional people can be sure they're not doing the wrong thing.
