      I actually think he does.

      Academically, he was incredibly dumb. He’s not nearly as rich as any of his contemporaries that have served for decades, he needed a loan from Obama to pay for his son’s medical bills; the obvious implication being, he doesn’t accept ‘lobbying’ the way his colleagues do. He’s constantly talking about unity and was always reaching across the isle…

      I think he may actually believe in all the garbage he preaches, while being clinically unaware of how stupid he is for it.

      Joe Biden doesn’t have the conviction and integrity of Joe Stalin.

      When Vasily Stalin got captured by Nazis, Joe was like “Yeah if you want to do a prisoner exchange, I’ll trade him for a regular German soldier, you’re not getting an officer for my idiot son”

        This was also why the Republicans were so insistent on crucifying Hunter, because he was a prominent link between Biden and Ukraine - an operation that the Republicans are left out of.

        While I appreciate that there are factions within the US imperial elite, I think you greatly underestimate the extent to which republican interests and donors benefit from project ukraine. The defence and lng majors have benefitted the most from the most maximal aspects of the project (provoking hot war, sabotaging any peace process and blowing up Nordstream). Are you really trying to say that there is no connection between the defence industry and the republican donor base? If so, where is the peace wing of the republican party? There isn’t one. They just do stupid rhetoric where they would have done project ukraine so that they would have won. I’m sure that around the margins there would be different firms and individuals that are the biggest beneficiaries, but it’s naive and reductive to say that the GOP donor class is “left out”.
