The majority of the world understood Trump's type of diplomatic "norms", because those are the same norms they operate under. They may not have liked him; but they respected him. It's only certain people in the west who thought otherwise.
Putin never would have challenged Trump to a debate because Trump would have agreed to it and pushed for it even harder. But he knows Biden will never can't do it.
It's the same norms that apply in the business world, whether you're just looking for a job or trying to close a billion dollar deal. Whether you're talking about employees/employers or business partners/rivals, it's not at all necessary for people to like you; it's absolutely essential that they respect you.
I wonder how many of these other nations are wondering when the world police force is going to step in with the CIA and dethrone the "illegitimate" dictator. Isn't that how it all works?
My sentiment exactly. As some 12 year old kid hacks their network and is getting ready to post their faces for the world to see.........lmao their day is coming. Without their masks they are nothing more than "Oz" with the curtain pulled back at the end of the movie. FizzWiz of Oz all fizzled out.
Putin did that because he knows damn well the average American has no idea what US dollar hegemony is, or the role it plays in both our foreign and domestic policy, but the average Russian knows it. They talk about it in foreign media all the time. For example, Putin would have been happy to explain why we just bombed Syria.
No chance in hell Biden's team ever lets that PR disaster occur. Can you imagine if 90% of Democrats suddenly found out that their platform of the last 50 years is the reason we're constantly fighting the wars they claim to hate? They'd each need a decade or two in a cry closet.
That's why there's always a new gimmick waiting. If I had to guess, it'll be a bunch of Trump-clone politicians in DC trying to ride the populism wave with the same tactics Trump used.
It makes me very scared. Joe Biden and his handlers are currently showing the textbook weakness that always precedes major conflicts. You can show examples from around the globe, ancient Persia, China, Japan, Greece, Rome, Egypt, Britain, France, etc.
Weak senators led to the fall of the Roman Republic. Weak emperors led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Weak emperors led to the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Weak emperors led to the collapse of various Persian empires. Weak British Prime Ministers allowed German Socialists to kick off WW2. Human history has a pattern, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times.
Better to go with the simpler "good men create good times", maybe. The conquerors on the other side of all those examples were strong men (Turks, Germans, Mongols), you'd have to be admitting they brought good times. At least for themselves.
"well, well, uh... according to CNN, Trump was Putin's puppet so of course Putin would be scoffing Biden's perfect mental health and physical health.... uh... and uh... China and North Korea berating our great leader... uh... that's just uh... I'll have to circle back to you on that. What's that? A few other leaders are denying Biden's legitimacy... uh... uh... this is somehow Trump's fault!"
remember how former state employees used to bitch and moan that prez maga had destroyed diplomatic norms? i remember!

Exactly. Other world leaders recognize and respect force and a strong leader. They see Xiden for the cowardly sponge that he is.

Ultimate savage: "my button is much bigger" was epic.
"and actually works"

Pretty sure current State department employees were saying the same thing.
Which gives me a little chuckle thinking that some of them might have been the ones getting anal swabs in China.

The CIA helped place this senile imbecile in the White House. They are not our friends.
They would have done that to duly elected President Trump had he maintained the election results

I find it funny

that is pretty sad, Democrats made a joke of America, and Republicans cucked and let them have it. We niced our way out of elections, so stupid.
They didn't cuck, their job has always been to focus your efforts with them and then lose. Then the communists can proceed with less resistance.
But it all got exposed, a magic trick loses it's luster once the gimmick is exposed.

Instead of cracking jokes, she should promote this live face to face debate.
