As ohno said words have meanings, particularly on online platforms where its harder to convey tone etc.

Again this comes down to a narrow mind. A lot of people post as they talk, you have to accept that.

Anyway, this is way OT so I'll leave it there.

I'll do the same.

A mind so broad that knowledge passes right through it.

Now you are insulting me.
Are you willing to challenge me and put 1000 euro on the line, in person with an independent person calling the words and moderating it?

Irish times so far unimpressed with Bidens foreign policy.

I agree with the article
Biden is keeping more trump era policies than he is removing.

What is your opinion

Is the truth an insult? It's been clear for a long time that you aren't able to think outside the box you live in. If anybody disagrees with you it's a war.
I'd recommend going for walks, they are great for relaxing the mind.

So you've read the title of the article. Well done.

What parts of the article do you agree with, and what parts do you disagree with?

Not even four months in office and dealing with a pandemic and they are attacking foreign policy.
He's got a pandemic and a major divide in his country to deal with. You gotta fix your own house first.

Wow - was it really so long ago that Trumpites were wringing their hands at the vast amount of executive orders Biden was making which undid Trump's policies?

But.. now, he isn't undoing them?

It is hard to keep up.

Well that wasn't that poster of course, he's "new".

I highly doubt that the Irish times are "Trumpites". They published the article.

The author laid out the comparison of policies and came to the conclusion

Here is a nice summary of Biden's foreign policy.

Explain to why you think it is so similar to Trump's policy and what you believe he should do differently. Rather than link dumping.

I think Biden is doing okay with foreign policy, he’s barely in the door though and I’d be slow to judge him on what he hasn’t done yet. He scored an own goal on the refugee numbers but also was man enough to change it. Happy they are back in the Paris accord but it’s easier to sign up than do something so that would have to be judged in the future

Fair call. Out of everything he has or hasn't done immediately rejoining the Paris accord sent out a definitive message that the Us is back on board as a global team player.

Too soon to judge the other policies. Pandemic is all time consuming right now. Understandable

I don't know why he's getting credit for pulling troops out of Afghanistan, it was Trump who made that deal.

Simple, he actually has a plan to do it. Trump made the statement but never actually planned for the withdrawal, I don't think he even informed the Pentagon.

Do you think there would have been a full withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan on May 1st if Trump was still president?

He had a plan, he’d have shown it in two weeks time.
