‘President Biden’ Would Be Music to Russian and Taliban Ears

[disciple Clint]

From the article. Hmmm . . . The Times and the Post, relying on uncheckable sources of unknowable veracity, are peddling a story that Donald Trump has betrayed his country for the benefit of Vladimir Putin. Who wouldn’t take that to the bank after three years of collusion?
Hard to fathom which notion is more hilarious. Is it that Joe Biden would get tough with the Taliban, or that Joe Biden would get tough with Russia?
The former veep wants you to know that he’s furious that President Trump sat on his hands for the past four months despite knowing that the Kremlin was paying bounties to the jihadists for targeting American troops in Afghanistan. Biden is sure this must have happened. No, he conceded at a rare press availability this week, he does not have access to classified information, nor has he been given an intelligence briefing on the subject. But Biden knows it must have happened because the New York Times and the Washington Post say so, relying on their crack anonymous intelligence sources.
The thing being . . . he’d do nothing. And that’s if we’re lucky. His idea of doing something is to enrich the world’s leading state sponsor of anti-American terrorism while putting its regime on a glide path to nuclear weapons . . . all the while knowing that the mullahs are backing Taliban terrorists targeting our troops . . . and that the Russians are backing the mullahs.

...well I can agree with this part of the op/ed in OP:

Trump is just as delusional

When one of the candidates publicly sided with Putin over our own intelligence services, attempting to bring up which one of them would be "music to Russian" ears seems like a losing campaign strategy for that candidate. So by all means, keep it up.

We know which candidate Russia put their money and their faith in in 2016. Some of those Russian campaign funds were even laundered through the NRA. I have seen nothing to indicate that Russia has changed since then

one of our candidates has been much harder on Russia than the other one, when the baggage is unpacked people will see things more clearly.

<looks at Trumps performance with Russia and other foreign leaders the last three years>

I'll take my chances. If he is worse then the current incumbent I will be very surprised.

That would probably not be this one then:
Trump sides with Russia against FBI

After face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Trump contradicted US intelligence agencies and said there had been no reason for Russia to meddle in the vote.

or this one:
Trump refused to believe US intelligence on North Korea's ICBM launch because Putin told him otherwise, McCabe's book says

When US intelligence officials informed President Donald Trump that North Korea had tested an intercontinental ballistic missile, he reportedly refused to believe them.

and definitely not this guy
PUTIN'S TIGHT GRIP ON TRUMP ON FULL DISPLAY IN HELSINKI

It's almost proverbial to say that every bully is a coward at heart. But that's wishful thinking. In politics, many strongmen are like Vladimir Putin: ruthless, cunning and sadistic. As the world witnessed in Helsinki, a posturing blowhard like Donald Trump is simply no match for the Russian dictator.

Faced with a real thug, the trust-fund poser cowered.

when the baggage is unpacked people will see things more clearly.

that's true...probably not it the way you mean, but still true.

What is Gates take on Trump?

Trump is a 'divider,' says Robert Gates, former CIA director and defense secretary

It's quite clear that being a unifying president is pretty low on the priority of our current incumbent. I think he is a divider, and I think he does so quite consciously.

Do you see a common thread here, who could possibly dispute such impeccable sources of information

as two sources put it, according to White House and intelligence officials intimately familiar with the contents of the conversations..The sources said, senior advisers, These officials'. CNN's sources said, according to the sources, according to the sources.,To protect the anonymity of those describing the calls for this report, CNN will not reveal their job titles nor quote them at length directly. More than a dozen officials either listened to the President's phone calls in real time or were provided detailed summaries and rough-text recording printouts of the calls soon after their completion, CNN's sources said. The sources were interviewed by CNN repeatedly over a four-month period extending into June.,The sources did cite some instances in which they said Trump acted responsibly and in the national interest during telephone discussions with some foreign leaders.,One person familiar with almost all the conversations, One source said., The German official quoted, the sources reported, said a high-level administration official, said this source

CNN reached out to Kelly, McMaster and Tillerson for comment and received no response as of Monday afternoon. Mattis did not comment. Where is the evidence, if CNN says it I doubt it and so do many others.

Sen. John Kennedy claimed that people around the country are going to need a fallout shelter if Joe Biden is elected president in November.

The Louisiana Republican told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's foreign policy is too weak and would put citizens at risk for attacks in the future.

"Well, the vice president says he will transform America," Kennedy said. "He will, and the American people will pay a fearsome price. His foreign policy is hugs and hot cocoa for America's enemies. If he's elected, my advice to you is: build a fallout shelter."

"Build a fallout shelter. You’ll need it. Weakness invites the wolves," he added.

Kennedy also attacked Biden's domestic policy and claimed that the former vice president wants taxpayers to "surrender our money and our freedom, every bit of it, to Washington," adding, "if you want 52 weeks of vacation a year, vote for him because he’s going to bankrupt your employer."

"Here’s what he says to our young people: 'Finish school, get a job, and work hard. So I, Vice President Biden, can give the money you earned to someone who didn’t.' And finally, I think he will eviscerate our healthcare delivery system. I’m sure he will say, 'If you like your healthcare, you can keep it.' But we’ve seen that movie before," Kennedy said.

The senator also addressed the uptick in gun violence that has taken place in several states over the past few weeks. The senator claimed that Biden and President Barack Obama had opportunities to address problems of racial inequality and crime in U.S. cities but failed to do so.

"Why didn't they address the problems of our inner cities? I mean, Chicago is now the largest outdoor shooting range in America. And other cities are following. It's not caused by the coronavirus. It's not caused by racism. It's caused by nihilism," he said. Sen. John Kennedy: 'Build a fallout shelter' if Joe Biden is elected
