Originally posted by Starlight View PostIndeed. Biden's neither good on foreign policy nor good at cleaning house in terms of replacing Trump appointees. Hard to say whether this is an oversight, in terms of being something that has been allowed to continue from the previous administration that Biden should have put a stop to by now but hasn't got round to replacing the right people in the administration, or just Biden being bad on foreign policy like Biden usually is and making a deliberate decision to continue it.
I'm not sure why you're making this all about Trump.
If you read the first page of this thread, I was critiquing US foreign policy. You brought up Trump, not me. I would have thought that as someone whose somewhat libertarianish you would agree with me in terms of you also being against the US being too activist in foreign policy and randomly starting feuds with other countries by arresting their citizens over issues with a 3rd country like is happened here.

The case has merit or else the Canuckistani judicial system would have let her go.

You deceitfully twist my words often to try and falsely portray me as being ignorant of the US in ways that are absurd. It makes you look imbecilic.
I was aware that the physical arrest had occurred in Canada, which is not relevant given it was done at the request of the US and she is being extradited to the US.
Just for grins - let's have your 3 best rock-solid examples that Rogue lied.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

In this case, his administration hasn't (yet?) reversed a Trump administration decision. Without having any inside knowledge of the internal workings of the administration, it's hard to say why this has/hasn't occurred. Could be anything from Dictator Biden wanted to escalate with China, to a justice department employee with tunnel vision who's found a technical crime to prosecute so is going through the motions of doing so, to new policy directives not having yet been thought through and implemented and so old policy is still being carried out...
To perhaps bring the focus back to the OP... given I seem to have finally convinced some of you that the arrest of the Huawei CFO / daughter of the CEO was fundamentally political and about Iran sanctions... can we agree that Huawei trying to organize some US political lobbying is a matter of self-defense? And unsurprising given the US has basically kidnapped the CEO's daughter? It's not so much a case of eViL cHiNa working according to its communist plots to corrupt US politicians to its will by having Huawei buy influence in the US in order to turn the US communist via sneaky plots, but more a case of daddy wants his daughter back from the kidnappers and is busy trying to pay off the ransom to the right people so that the kidnappers return her?
Can we also, perhaps agree, that in the murky politics of China, that companies like Huawei seem to be as much government owned entities as they are private companies, and therefore taking actions against the leadership of it, is actually an action taken against the Chinese government and therefore needs to be done with maximum nuance and carefulness?"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by Starlight View PostIt amuses me how keen people on this forum seem to be to simultaneously want to claim that Biden is 100% senile, and that he also personally makes each and every decision made by any branch of his administration (and that he possibly does so with a view to implementing some sort of grand and dastardardly democrat/communist plan).

2) I don't think he's personally making "each and every decision"....
He's a poor old fool who probably thinks he's in charge, when he's not even sure what's going on around him, and his handlers should be charged with elder abuse for using him like that.
