So how have we had a vaccine since January and already have more covid deaths than all of 2020?!? But the narrative is different - last year it was all Trump's fault, and this year it's a few Republican governors undermining Biden's measures.
Speaking of Biden, John Kerry called him clueless [about France] in an overseas interview. I wonder what Ptown thinks about the whole plan & execution of Biden's submarine flex for China...no doubt still fully convinced Joe has all his marbles, and knows where they are.
This post makes little sense.
The vaccine has been available since Dec 20, but really only available to most people since March-May, depending on the state. Also, remember January was pretty bad in terms of cases and deaths. The death numbers also are largely attributed to unvaccinated people, largely in the south. There is also the delta variant, which is more aggressive than the other variants. It is shocking you do not understand that.
Are you really taking the French side on the sub deal? Really?
Subs for China? No, the subs are for our ally, Australia, to fight against China. The French were offering the Aussies some old diesel subs, while we are offering them nuclear powered attack subs that are better. I would gladly support our ally in the pacific at the expensive of the French. China is the next great power competitor. Any way that gets a check on their ambitions, I am for. Pissing off the French is fine as it will blow over.
Also, typically left wing doves are pissed off at the deal, so I guess you are favoring the lefties and progressives on this one. Congrats!
I'm shocked you do not understand this. Usually you have a sense of what is going on. Are you losing it?
