First the ghost of Kiev, now a shell necromancer. What's next, are they sending warlocks to the front lines?

Biden is politically paralysed, and so is everyone else who could reasonably become the president. Up until the early 2000s it was still possible for Western politicians to make and enforce major decisions, because back then they had strong public institutions which made that possible. This has changed with the dismantling and privatisation of the public sector. Even if Biden was a social democrat, it would be a fool's errand to try and retrieve the public services under capitalist law by compensation, such a thing is only possible by forcibly expropriating the entrenched cartels who currently own and exploit them for political leverage and profit. However, as long as heavy and chemical industry, rail, communication, research and education, culture, and mass media remain private businesses, they must abide by the rigid demands of the market so there is little room to wield them as tools of the state. Even if Biden earnestly desired such a thing, he currently cannot even accomplish prestige projects like California's high speed railway, let alone the necessary social and ecological turnaround of the country.

Ahahaha

Just this year, our brilliant government decided to increase fossil fuels in the energy mix by 6% of the total due to quitting nuclear

There once was a simple-minded farmer tending to his coconut trees. He tied the little saplings to sticks, and day by day, he routinely came with the watering can and gave all of them the water they needed. Over the years, they grew tall and cast a long shadow across the lands, yet he still did not remove the sticks or stop watering them, nor did he collect the coconuts they would begin to bear, for he believed that by continuing to do so, the trees would grow taller still and bear even bigger fruit. One afternoon, when he rested beneath a tall and luscious palm, an overripe coconut fell on his head and killed him. By continuing to treat his palmtrees like little saplings when they clearly had stopped to be, not only did he lose his own life, but he died without tasting a single fruit of his labours.

For reference, this is the temperature inside a cup of tea. It is hotter than it gets in a washing machine

One of the hardest parts of living in 2023 is watching the American economy and Biden's cognitive functions race each other to the bottom, and not knowing for which one to root

I can explain that! Podoliak is tormented by a neural affliction that is very common in the Western world, known to medical professionals as Redditis ugabuga, or in more common usage, "the Digital Disease".

This illness has both extraordinary rates and means of transmission, since it appears to spread via the visual centre of the brain perceiving digital signals from a screen. The disease vectors, so-called Nazions - vulgo Hitler particles - originate on websites, typically 4chan or Parler, and gather in the frontal lobe where they execute an SQL injection disabling the parts of the brain responsible for logic, critical thinking, and general conduct. They may also attempt to install a payload insisting that the patient's own nationality, ethnicity, ideology, religion, or language would be particularly close to Anglo-Saxon culture and therefore superior.

Symptoms involve frequent lapses in communication (both oral and written), poor judgement of oneself and others, social media addiction, putrid exudations, slouching posture, proneness to scams, and a diminishing social life. In advanced stages this may lead to a solitary life entirely devoid of meaning, pleasure, and joy.

As the disease becomes terminal, the spine of the patient increases its curvature to such a degree that their upper body folds forward by 180° (although some patients may insist it is 360°) such that the head then enters the rectum. At this point, anything that is fed to the patient has already gone through several rounds of premastication and digestion. In terms more apprehensible to the understanding of the anatomic layman, Podoliak "has their head up their ass", and "is full of their own shit".

Now hold your horses, Ukraine isn't completely isolated in the world just yet. I am sure he will come out next week with a well-pondered, nuanced, and diplomatic statement about Africans

The Bureau of Industry and Security versus the full weight of the Chinese government

How about Samsung, Apple, Google, Nokia, Ericsson, Comcast, AT&T, Telecom etc. versus Huawei in 2018? They could have had this "fair" fight instead, they specifically chose what is coming to them

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the irony of Victoria Nuland being "shocked" by a coup?
