Bernie isn't running because he's consistently gotten shafted of Democrat support from the party establishment. In the 2016 primaries, the vast majority of superdelegates were in support of Clinton which impacted polling, support, morale, and voter turnout. A "democracy" where some votes are worth more than others isn't a democracy, it's a sham.

Biden's had no more regard for the intended role of the executive branch than Trump, he's just less openly antagonistic about it. Trump openly derides the system, while Biden just quietly whips it into line.

This is from the same President that slurred "womenofamerica" at a rally, so I guess it's understandable he would confuse being responsible for being responsible.

The US wanted to strike Iranian targets without retaliation in order to not lose face globally. Tehran says no. If I were serving on a US military base in the Middle East, I'd be looking for ways to take leave because things are about to get hot.

An absolute failure of the IFF system of US AD.

I mean I too would not be happy about a two-state solution with a "state" that's releasing snuff films of my people.

Nobody wants to enter into a hot war with the US. Without Western support, Israel would be in a pickle right now.

Israel has comprehensively pissed off all of its neighbours. It knows it can get away with it too, because daddy US will always be there to support them.

 

The agreement signed by the defense ministers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania provides for defensive installations on their borders to deter and, if necessary, protect against military threats.
