Selina, I don’t know what younger than you are consist of, but, yes, I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis very well. As a matter of fact, I was living in southeast Florida (Palm Beach County) when that was going on. To my recollection, President Biden wasn’t the president when that was going on. As for the pipeline incident you mention, I have no knowledge of that. Did that occur during his presidency? Did the replacing the leadership in Ukraine happen during his presidency?

I’m referring to his Foreign relations he’s created since his presidency began just three years ago. Before he took office, we had NO firefighter relations anywhere in this world. Not even with our allies. Frumpy, the 🍊 headed 🤡 had totally destroyed this nation’s relationship with every nation in this world. We were all alone. We had no trade agreements of any kind. Not any that helped the middle class Americans.

And, no, I’m nit huh f tj get into a back and forth debate with someone that is blaming President Biden fir everything that happened in other administrations years ago.

I get so tired of hearing negative comments about Pres. Biden, I get enough of that in emails i get every day. I think Biden is doing great myself. The emails i get are telling dreadful things like, ''Biden is behind in so and so polls, Biden didn't do this, that, and the other thing.'' I instantly delete emails that are so negative about Biden. TUMP did indeed destroy the nation's relationships with other nations, i especially got angry in his feuding with Canada, at our nation's northern border. I really like reading the good comments on here about Pres. Biden's accomplishments and he should be commended for those. Negativity isn't going to get us anywhere at all.... Those so-called polls i referred to are biased and very inaccurate. I disregard all of them, including that Nate Sliver's 538 poll. It isn't very accurate either.

Daniel, with respect to the Nord Stream pipeline bombing, it happened in September, 2022. The NY Times has this report as of March 2023, indicating that it was a pro-Ukrainian group not connected with either the legitimate government of Ukraine (i.e., NOT Putin or Russia) or president Zelenskyy or with the government of the United States or president Biden: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/07/us/politics/nord-stream-pipeline-sabotage-ukraine.html. That was the most recent report I could discover. Selina or her source seems to be arguing post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Biden is doing a great job in his efforts to both heal rifts caused by most of the recent prior administrations and to help save from destruction a friendly democratic country (and if Selina or anyone else can point to any country that has ever existed which has not had some kind of serious problem, from oppressing its own citizens to brutal takeovers of other towns/cities/countries, I'd LOVE to learn about them). There is an enormous amount of work still to do, and China, North Korea, Russia (and the outlaw Wagner Group and its ilk) are still out there acting as headwinds, trying to destabilize and damage others for the sake of their own money and its intangible ally power. Likewise here in the US, with the Qwing asserting power to the point of actually defying orders of the Supreme Court, and actually interfering with US-Mexico navigable waters, all of which takes time and distracts from Biden's ability to work on foreign relations. If the folks who are worried about Russia using nukes of any kind in its attempted takeover of Ukraine would stop their nonsense here at home over rainbows, and voter suppression, and forced-birth enslavement, and book-banning (I could go on), the US could concentrate more time and effort on preventing Russia from using them. FGS!

Lynn, you just made my day! I swear, if I wasn’t a lonely crippled up old man, I would hunt you down and propose to you!

I couldn’t have said this any more eloquently. As a matter of fact, I’d probably piss people off because I’m much more straight forward and blunt. Direct to the point.

Here's the story on the U.S. plot to take out the pipeline by Seymour Hersh, one of the top investigative journalists of the past 50 years:

Seymour Hersh and real clear politics. But you likely already know this ;-)

MK, did you mean to post an article about a website being pro-Trump, an article that has no mention of Seymour Hersh…?

Judith, that article leaves out mention of his breakthrough reporting right after 9/11 about the failure of the FBI-CIA intelligence on the suspects in the U.S, taking flying lessons, etc.
