"President Biden, who seems to be more energetic and more on top of issues than most people half his age,...".
-Juan Cole
University of Michigan comedian Juan Cole has come out with another boffo article in his curiously-named blog, Informed Comment. While most of the world was shaking their heads at President BIden's pitiful press conference in Hanoi, Cole was actually impressed. While the rest of the world saw a doddering old fool making incomprehensible statements about "lying, dog-faced pony soldiers" and going to bed, Cole saw greatness.
But you have to remember this is Juan Cole we're talking about.
Aside from Cole's description of Biden as being "energetic" and "on top of things", Cole also praised Biden's comment about Global Warming (above a 1.5 degree C increase) being more of an existential threat than nuclear war!
"The president then waxed a bit philosophical, underscoring that such green foreign aid is essential because “the only existential threat humanity faces even more frightening than a — than a nuclear war is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 20 — 10 years. We’re — that’d be real trouble. There’s no way back from that.”
-Juan Cole
Cole, who is a professor of history at UMich, apparently also moonlights as a scientist as he backs up the President's claims about Global Warming, solar panels in Angola (which we are supposed to pay for), and Biden's previous idea of forgiving nations' debt to us (e.g. Brazil) if they cared for their forests.
But Cole did take the president to task for his reference to the "lying, dog-faced pony soldier" pointing out that Biden incorrectly credited John Wayne and the wrong movie with the line. As opposed to asking why he even brought it up in the first place in Hanoi of all places!
Who needs Karine Jean-Pierre when you have Juan Cole?
With that, I am going to bed.
