World power USA: the choice remains between plague and cholera? - tc4me - November 8th, 2020
A good article !!!
All Europeans hope that Trump will be voted out of office. But will Biden bring peace? In foreign policy he advocates military strength.
It is understandable: Trump's egocentric and paranoid personality did not lead to any good expectation and so far has not brought anything good, unless it was to the advantage of the rich and super-rich. At least in Europe everyone is hoping that he will be voted out of office.
But what will Joe Biden, his rival candidate, bring if he is elected? Domestically, it is certainly more social and democratic - in every sense of the word. But foreign policy? Is there a point in his program that aims to create more peace in this world?
The internationally renowned US magazine "Foreign Affairs" has published three articles by Joe Biden on this topic:
Why America Must Lead Again
Rescuing U.S. Foreign Policy After Trump
By Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
March / April 2020

Anyone who takes the effort and reads these three articles can roughly imagine what is in store for us: more wars again, as in the days of Bush and Obama with his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Biden relentlessly uses false information for his argumentation. In his article on the politics of the Kremlin, for example, he mentions more than once the Russian invasion of Georgia in the so-called Caucasus War in 2008. That was what the western newspapers said at the time. An official commission of inquiry on behalf of the EU under the direction of the Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini has established after thorough clarification that the open war was not triggered by an invasion of Russian troops, but by an attack by Georgian troops. At the time, the Georgian government was probably hoping for an uncoordinated reaction from Russia because Putin was just at the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing.
The often mentioned importance of NATO is also striking in Biden's arguments. Biden never mentions that NATO, with its eastward expansion, was itself the cause of a number of armed conflicts and created new uncertainties.
Biden always tries to legitimize his tough military stance by “promoting democracy” in other countries. In view of US foreign policy over the past few decades, this can only be understood as sheer cynicism. The US regime change policy that has been practiced for decades has nothing to do with promoting democracy. The counterexamples can no longer be counted even on ten fingers.
The Europeans hope - with good reason - that Trump will be voted out of office. But this deselection, if it takes place, will result in Joe Biden becoming US President. And Europe could have backed the wrong horse. The foreign policy of the military superpower USA only depends on the US domestic policy? A geopolitical tragedy! The November 3rd election is a choice between plague and cholera.
PS: Not everyone in the USA is blind either. Alan Robock, professor at Rutgers University, wrote an open letter to Joe Biden on the New Jersey platform (nj.com). “Dear President-elect Biden, please begin with the simplest problem that you can solve immediately. End the nuclear threat of war. "
