I hope they aren't like the emperor's fabled new clothes.
Will Joe Biden's foreign policy team be warmongers — or genuine peacemakers?

Warmongers.
Why should Biden's* policies be any different than Hillary's or Obama's? He's controlled by the same people.
As I posted in another thread, Trump was trying to split Russia from China (maximum pressure on China, less on Russia). Biden* is going to try to split China from Russia by easing up on China and trying to welcome them back into the fold. That's my guess, anyway.
Whether China will be taken in by this gambit is anyone's guess. But my guess is that they'll use the situation to get maximum benefit from the USA without ever really splitting from Russia.

Looking very much forward to sliding back into endless wars and imperialism in the Middle East too.

US election 2020: Has Trump kept his promises on the military?
https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54060026
Military spending has steadily increased since President Trump took office in January 2017.
The reduction of troops was much greater under President Obama, as both large-scale deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan ended during his years in charge.

Quote:If such fun happens, it is the fault of Congress. More specifically, the GOP controlled Senate. The Constitution placed the control of the military budget in Congress, not the White House. And Declarations of Wars comes from Congress, not the White House. Congress can remove a President who acts as if he controls the budget and war declarations. Even Congress knows it, but doesn't act as if it knows anything. Check their website:

“The Congress shall have Power . . . To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules conquering Captures on Land and Water;
“To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
“To provide and maintain a Navy;
“To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
“To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
“To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress”
—U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 8, clauses 11–16
Like many powers articulated in the U.S. Constitution, Congress’ authority to declare war was revolutionary in its design, and a clear break from the past when a handful of European monarchs controlled the continent’s affairs.

Republicans never met a war they wouldn't cheerlead.
Democrats are no different, for the most part. They serve the same masters.

Take a look at the research about how bloodthirsty Americans are. Americans like killing civilians:
Example: In 1945, a Gallup poll immediately after the bombing found that 85% of Americans approved of using the new atomic weapon on Japanese cities. In 1991, according to a Detroit Free Press survey conducted in both Japan and the U.S., 63% of Americans said the atomic bomb attacks on Japan were a justified means of ending the war, while only 29% thought the action was unjustified.

ions-have-shifted-on-use-of-atomic-bomb/
Example: 59.3% percent approved of killing 100,000 Iranian civilians to save 20,000 U.S. soldiers.
http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2019/ph241/mangiaracina2/
Example: “The most shocking finding of our study is that 60 percent of Americans would approve of killing 2 million Iranian civilians to prevent an invasion of Iran that might kill 20,000 U.S. soldiers.”
https://news.stanford.edu/2017/08/08/americans-weigh-nuclear-war/
I am not even going to talk about the millions of Vietnamese/Laotian/Cambodian civilians killed by America in a vain attempt to look tough. By the way, that war was lost and the Americans that I know who have some slight familiarity with that war still think to this day the war would have been won if only a few million more civilians were killed. These are not real clear thinking Americans. But they do vote and they want killers of civilians as their politicians, either Democrat or Republican.

This from the man who says that everybody should kill their bosses and steal everything they own and who thinks that deleting your President is an appropriate action to take when you don't get your way.
