Biden calls Xi a 'dictator,' fueling Chinese anger

My biggest problem with Joe Biden, by far, is his mouth. He is not fit to serve. From his mocking of Chief Justice Roberts in 2009 (had to be told by Obama to shut up), calling Vladimir Putin a murderer as Russia was building up to war with Ukraine and now this. Some like to talk about his "gaffes", but "gaffes" don't cover over stuff like this.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken had been sent to Beijing a day prior to "cool tensions" between China and the US and Biden does this the next day. Not only does he publicly call Xi a 'dictator', but he goes on to mock him about supposedly not knowing about the balloon we shot down in February off the coast of South Carolina. So it wasn't just a rebuke of Xi's human rights record, the comments were meant to embarrass Xi by mocking his lack of control of the Communist party in Beijing.

The usual suspects here will dismiss this as "Biden playing hardball", but when you're on the precipice of potential war (Taiwan), you don't want to say stuff like this as it makes getting to the diplomacy table terribly difficult. As we have seen in Russia, there is little room for diplomacy or negotiation. There's simply nothing to be gained by publicly calling Putin a 'murderer' or Xi a 'dictator.' All that does is alienates them more and pisses them off.

Again, this comes one day after sending his own SoS to Beijing to "cool tensions", so spare me the excuses. This is not something you say a day after sending an envoy to Beijing to repair relations. It also becomes another step in pushing China towards Russia and vice versa. This has nothing to do with Biden's age. He's always been a blustering idiot. From his crime bill to comments like these, he shows how cold and empty he is inside. He's never been (regardless of age) qualified to be POTUS.

I rarely agree with you, but I do on this.

The MAGA’s can’t figure out what they’re angry about so everything makes them angry. Trump uses racist words like Chinese flu, or the China virus and republicans are silent. They even remained silent when Trump attacked McConnell’s wife calling her “Coco Chow.” But boy oh boy when Biden calls a dictator a “Dictator” then red Americans wet their pants. Red America apparently has become that crazy aunt living in the attic.

While, I agree Biden should have kept his mouth shut, I also completely agree with your observations! We progressives may be a lot of things, but being so hypocritical is not usually one of them.

It's pointless to bloviate about how awful Trump was if you're just going to excuse the next guy who comes along and acts like a buffoon. Besides, I thought we were moving the bar higher with Biden? As in much higher, right??

Biden Tuesday: "Hi I'm sending our SOS Antony Blinken your way to mend fences."
Biden Wednesday: "That idiot dictator doesn't even know what's happening in his own country."

The only rational explanation is Alzheimer's or dementia. Or you can try to change the subject to Trump.
