re Biden, I believe him especially when now, he is at an age that garner belief, however the people around him are altogether another story, and likely the same old story.

But, let's see. I suspend judgement for now as I did at the onset and for most part of Trump's reign.

Should the bipartisan war against China remain on. We get a hint, and I can guess at the conclusion.

I wait to see actions and am, truthfully, not at all hopeful that there would be Peace, capitalised.

I am not talking about hot wars, for I believe big hot wars are out of the question.

re South China Sea, action mostly if not all a defensive move, as the sea is where invaders came from, and the energy from far away is what could-be invaders / would-be dominators intend to be able to cut off.

re East China Sea (Diaoyu Island), am guessing it is as important to China as Jerusalem is to Israel. Matters of principles are intractable.

Like, do we believe Russia will ever give up the Kuril back to Japan?

Can in certain situations think of China as one huge Israel, per "never again".

I of course realise that should all domains and ethnic groups say "never again", and most do, we have the situation we currently have, and yet, "never again" must override all other concerns as long as there are interventionists on this planet not adhering to the Star Trek Prime Directive.

It is relatively easy to pick out one single nation most responsible for the ills troubling planetary peace, even as all domains responsible, historically speaking. But by doing such a list, China does not make the top quartile of the agrarian societies, never mind the marauding nomadic pirate ones of List A :0)

I reviewed the Xiden inaugural speech and also read Trumps from four years ago. I prefer Trumps.

Trump said

we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.

I guess we’re giving the power back to Washington and the oligarchs. That saddens me and it will only entrench the corruption. America is on the road to one party rule and despotism. No need to have elections anymore, they are a sham.
