Blasting Trump, Biden pledges global summit on democracy
Yahoo ^ | July 11, 2019 | Staff

Denouncing President Donald Trump as an affront to American values, Democratic candidate Joe Biden vowed Thursday that if elected he would hold a summit aimed at halting a backslide in global democracy.

The former vice president, who leads early polls for the Democratic nomination to challenge Trump in next year's election, said his foreign policy would be "based on clear goals driven by sound strategies, not by Twitter tantrums."

"The world sees Trump for what he is: insincere, ill-informed and impulsive -- and sometimes corrupt, dangerously incompetent and incapable, in my view, of world leadership and leadership at home," Biden said in a speech on foreign policy in New York.

Biden chastised Trump for downplaying human rights and voiced alarm at the "rapid advance of authoritarianism, nationalism and illiberal tendencies around the world" even among US allies, naming Hungary, the Philippines and Turkey.

He said he would hold a summit in the United States within one year of taking office that would recommit to democratic values and involve civil society.

"Leaders who attend must come prepared to cooperate and make concrete commitments to take on corruption and advance human rights in their own nations," he said.

"We have to be honest about our friends that are falling short and forge a common agenda to address the greatest threats to our shared values," he said.

Biden said he would also convene a separate summit on climate change within 100 days of taking office where the United States would press other major carbon emitters to join it in making "more ambitious national pledges."

If he’s elected he promises to have a lot of committees which will, well, they will talk. And then they may even release a set of vague, written goals. We did it, he will claim. Look at these goals. One of the finest accomplishments of the Biden presidency.

Meanwhile, the world will turn...

Has anyone told slo joe about the G20? It’s held annually on a rotating basis with each country hosting. Used to be the G7 so the US hosted it every 7th year back in the day. I think it’s a huge waste of money and now joe wants even more summits.

Technically, Russia is closer to a democracy than a republic, which is what we have here. If Joe wants to move to Russia, he can have what they have there.

Democracies fail! Democracies are a failure! Just like Socialism, Communism, and Fascism! They all FAIL!

What we have by the toe nails is a representative Republic. Although it's gone almost totally feudal atm.

Biden is a fool.
His chief, BHO, installed a totalitarian government in the US of A and he did nothing to stop it. Stalin would have been so proud of his student.

With all due respect, I suspect this is more Biden - and the DNC's - inspiration:
