Joe Biden And His Ventriloquists Keep Out-Hawking Donald Trump by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Joe Biden keeps trying to out-warmonger Donald Trump, and by Joe Biden I of course mean the team of handlers who are animating the dementia-ravaged corpse of the Joe Biden campaign like a ventriloquist operating a wooden dummy.
In response to Donald Trump suggesting an openness to scaling back his administrations murderous Venezuela policy and meeting with President Nicolas Maduro, whoever runs Joe Bidens Twitter account for him seized upon the moment to assert that the former vice president will be doing no such thing if elected commander-in-chief.
"Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro," tweeted Biden Incorporated. "As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy."
"Translation: if Donald Trump retreats from his current policy of trying to sanction and suffocate Venezuelan into submission, Joe Biden will make sure to revive it," journalist Aaron Mate said in response.
"To be clear, Joe Biden is now attacking Donald Trump from the right on Venezuela," said journalist Walker Bragman.

As FAIR.orgs Alan MacLeod accurately observed last year, this phrase "the Venezuelan people" is only ever invoked by the political-media class of the United States-centralized empire for sloganeering purposes in support of United States-led regime change interventionism in that nation, despite an overwhelming majority of Venezuelans opposing all United States interventionism including sanctions.
This tactic of attacking Donald Trump for being insufficiently warlike is nothing new for Joe Biden Inc, nor is it limited to Venezuela.
During the primary debates Joe Biden attacked Donald Trump for being insufficiently hawkish toward North Korea, claiming the president was wrong to meet with Kim Jong Un because it gives the leader "legitimacy", whatever that means.
An April Joe Biden campaign ad accused the president of being too soft on China by failing to force Beijing to allow United States government officials into Wuhan to monitor the governing of a sovereign nation during a pandemic outbreak.
"Donald Trump praised the Chinese 15 times in January and February as the coronavirus spread across the world," says the ads narrator in an ominous voice. "Donald Trump never got a CDC team on the ground in China. And the travel ban he brags about? Donald Trump let in 40,000 travelers from China into the United States of America after he signed it. Not exactly airtight."
I would not meet with Kim Jong Un without pre-conditions. By meeting with him, Donald Trump gave Kim Jong Un what he was looking for: legitimacy. I will work closely with our allies and hold China accountable for its lack of pressure on the Kim regimes bad behavior. #DemDebate-Joe Biden January 15, 2020
Joe Biden has attacked Donald Trumps partial troop withdrawal from Syria, using talking points from the so-called war on terror to absurdly claim during a primary debate that the president is putting America at risk of a terrorist strike from ISIS.
"We have ISIS that is going to come here," Joe Biden said. "They are going to damage the United States of America. That is why we got involved in the first place."
And of course Joe Biden & Co have been attacking Donald Trump for being too soft on Russia, despite this administrations many, many dangerously hawkish new cold war escalations against Moscow.
"We need a President who will stand up to the Kremlin, push back against Mr. Putin, and take immediate steps to ensure the security of our elections," Joe Bidens Twitter account said last year.
This line of attack is so ubiquitous in the Joe Biden campaign that it sometimes just takes the form of a vague, general swipe at Donald Trumps unwillingness to be more warlike, with an April tweet reading simply "Donald Trump says he is a wartime president - it is time for him to act like one."

Again, this is Donald Trump these people are talking about.
The same president who imprisoned Julian Assange for exposing United States war crimes, killed tens of thousands of Venezuelans with starvation sanctions, vetoed attempts to save Yemen from United States-backed genocide, is working to foment civil war in Iran using starvation sanctions and Central Intelligence Agency ops with the stated goal of effecting regime change, nearly started a full-scale war with Iran by assassinating its top general, occupied Syrian oil fields and implemented devastating sanctions with the goal of preventing Syrias reconstruction, greatly increased the number of troops in the Middle East and elsewhere, greatly increased the number of bombs dropped per day from the previous administration, killing record numbers of civilians, and reduced military accountability for those airstrikes.
The second-to-last thing the world needs is political pressure placed on Donald f-cking Trump to be more warlike. The very last thing the world needs is a United States president who ends up being even more warlike than Donald Trump.
The United States of America is a war machine on top of a police state on top of a mass media psyop.
Only people who are willing to keep these psychopathic mechanisms in place are permitted to ascend to presidential candidacy. While all the news cameras focus on the relatively minor differences between presidents and presidential candidates, you can learn a lot more about the United States of America and what drives it by looking at their similarities.
