    I think he has a much too rosy view of Biden and what his administration would actually do. Biden made his claims about "making Saudi Arabia a pariah" and not selling them arms in the Primary debates, presumably trying to outflank Bernie Sanders. If he thinks a Democrat administration is really going to pursue that course, I have some bridges to sell him.

    Ditto for Israel:

    Netanyahu is a shrewd politician who will adapt to a Democratic presidency, but Biden will not duplicate Trump’s contempt for Palestinian rights.

    Want a ####ing bet? Did he forget the Obama adminstration? Was he in a coma for eight years?

    A Biden presidency that reverts to more traditional US foreign policy, allegiances, defence of human rights and active involvement in international organisations will be bad for Putin.

    More traditional US foreign policy? More bombing, murderous sanctions and violent coups for oil then.

    "Defence of human rights"????? What has he been smoking?

    I want Donny tiny hands to get kicked out on his arse (straight into jail ideally) but a lot f this article seems like DNC Fantasy Island.
