    United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

    Nonproliferation died with Ghaddafi, after what happened to him, and to South Africa before that, and was buried by what happened to Ukraine. Every state that can is going to have a nuke on the shelf with components and 'waste/research/ fissile materials just needing to be mated in the correct...

    Look's like a schism in the Biden admin over Ukraine, with Anthony Blinken clashing with Jake Sullivan, who is holding up the aid to Ukraine that Blinken wants to send, because Sullivan and parts of the White House seem to think more aid going to Ukraine from the US may result in Russia...

    Biden is trying to hush up a fire on a USNS Button, because he doesn't want more bad news about ships this week.

    No, no it doesn't, and this is one of the brainbugs the GOP needs to rid itself of. Vote-by-mail can be done securely, safely, and with oversight. We've had it in CO for a long time now, long before Trump was in politics, there are bar codes and now those QR codes attached to every ballot to...

    No, it's not voter fraud to have a mail-in ballot system; it is in fact very much part of the discretionary authority the US Constitution grants the States in terms of controlling how elections are handled. The GOP have really gone stupid about the 'redefinition' game with regards to mail-in...

    Nothing, because it is not illegal, and in some states is the way the state handles ballots. The GOP's obsession with 'one day voting' and treating any mail-in ballot system as 'illegal'/'harmful' (when it's state law in some places), instead of learning how to operate their own mail-in...

    What I've heard is it's more there are a finite number of oil refineries in the world, the US hasn't built new ones ourselves in years due to NIMBYism and radical greens lies about hydrocarbons, and lost refining capacity in Russia means less refined products on the world market overall. Which...

    I am not sure who exactly made the call, likely either someone in SecDef's office, or someone in the DoD. I really don't care about the 'profile' of who is to blame, more that they actually are accurate in their investigation and find the person who actually made the call to hide what was going...

    This won't be shrugged off. It endangered the Continuity of Government plans/policies, and our ability to respond promptly to any attack on US soil. I expect whomever made the call not to inform the wider DC apparatus will be losing their job.

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/01/07/sen-roger-wicker-calls-for-a-briefing-from-the-pentagon-after-it-hid-austins-hospitalization/ Looks like this is going to end up in Congress for hearings, and I expect some number of official rebukes/firings.

    So SecDef was in intensive care for 4 days, and no one told Biden or much of anyone in DC till afterwards.

    There won't be a draft, because any war that is bad enough to require a draft in the US is one where nuclear weapons are already coming down on US cities, and at that point attempting to 'draft' survivors is likely to not go the way whatever remains of DC's power structure would like.

    So the new GUARD Act is looking like "it will prevent all private organizations from assisting veterans applying for VA benefits", per this channel. This seems really, really dumb to do, when the VA was already a mess that made veterans go to private providers because those would actually help...
