America needs to ‘detoxify its own democracy’: Fmr. Obama top national security adviser

American foreign policy is still operating from the muscle memory of an outdated political order, says former Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes in a new cover piece for Foreign Affairs Magazine. He argues the U.S. needs to recalibrate its foreign policy to better promote democracy, and re-electing Trump would surely do the opposite. “Elections are not about perfect outcomes, they’re about choices,” says Rhodes. “Donald Trump’s not going to solve these problems - he’s going to make things worse.”

I like this interview, and I appreciate the critical thinking of Ben Rhodes. Near the end of the video, I thought to myself..."Wouldn't it be better if Ben Rhodes is in Biden's cabinet to replace that hapless Blinking" ? USA is always big on democracy. It lectures the world about it, and it brags about it being "the best democracy of the world". I find it hard to stifle a a chuckle whenever I hear that claim. USA is breaking up because of out control democracy. Not only is it breaking down internally, it is also valid externally. When mobs bashing down Capitol Hill, when Israel ignores USA's demands, when China is building mega ports in Latin America, and establishing massive infrastructures all over the globe but US's buddy countries, it depicts an USA that has wasted much of its energy waging wars instead of building up economy. But can USA take a haircut when it comes to "democracy" ? Well, that is what set it apart from China and Russia, or the Global South. The big question is..."Has US's democracy push actually delivered the goods for the part of the world where it is forever telling them how good democracy is?" For countries that have not much, the first thing in their mind is the basic of life. Tell the Africans who are in the grip of famine about democracy, they probably ask ..."Where is food ?" Gaza is another fine example. Did USA actually deliver democracy to them when it is actually USA that dent bombs to Israel for the killing. If you lie to yourself often enough, you actually believe your own lies. That is why spin doctors are crawling all over US politics telling politicians and Americans what they wanted to hear, and NOT the truth !!!

The choice IS very stark. There are atleast 80-100 million people who would do better. The general manager of the last fast food joint you drove through, probably had far better ideas and ways to execute those ideas. When you say the average American doesn’t know what to think about when it comes to China and America, I think most people genuinely want peace. I also think the Chinese people would like peace and freedom from the CCP. We need to help them with that, but not with the incompetence that is left/right wing ideologies.

America needs a President who cares about Americans. Rachel Morin’s mom said that when Trump called her she thought “ Is this political.” Then she said that when she actually spoke to him on the phone that Trump was like her next door neighbor who’s checking in on you, and making sure that you are OK, and to see if there was anything he could do. Biden was too busy to even mention her name. That is the difference between the two.

Of course, it was politically driven. How many other mothers has he called when their child was murdered. Victims of school shootings etc. It is unrealistic to expect the President to call or mention every victim in this United States. Obviously there are so few murders related to immigrants he DJT is able to focus on them at this time.
