I'll wait for some proof. Until then we can keep celebrating the victories of the world's largest democracy.
But US supreme leaders have never been ones to tell the truth nor back it up.
It's really an interesting move to insult the leader of a country that you just had a meeting with in order to reverse deteriorating relations. 🤔
If you find facts insulting, maybe it's because you live in a state of delusion?
You know that your remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But you are amusing yourself, for it is your adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since they believe in words. You delight in acting in bad faith, since you seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. You are completely aware of the absurdity of your reply.
It requires stunning amounts of ignorance to think that China is a dictatorship.
The fact that US is run by utter imbeciles has been pretty evident for a while now.
I mean, yeah, he is a dictator. How is this news?
I understand it to be geopolitically significant. Biden, head of state for a big country. Xi, head of state for another big country. China's made it known they don't want Xi called a dictator. Biden's done it anyway.
It's the scale of the thing that matters here. It's a political statement of gravity. He's calling any bluff they've got going, and demonstrating that the USA doesn't respect China enough to use their preferred nomenclature. It's a calculated insult and a challenge.
It's a calculated insult and a challenge.
Occam's Razor says that Biden, a famously gaffe-prone politician, simply made a gaffe.
This is just a replay of the "Oh He's Just An Innocent Idiot" nonsense that was so popular around George Bush. People would say he's an idiot and that he didn't realize what he was doing, and that got him off the hook for the absolute atrocities he committed against not only the people of several countries around the world but also against the people of his own country. Don't give Biden the same treatment; don't let him off easy.
If it was a mistake, it's not a minor one; major "mistakes" like this warrant corrections after the fact, either from Biden directly or from White House communications. Since he hasn't corrected it, it's safe to assume it was intended.
This statement was made at a private fund raising event, but the white house intentionally chose to publish it. This isn't a gaffle.
I mean, yeah, the US is a fascist regime which literally inspired Nazi Germany, the only difference is that Germany fell and the US remained to stay alive.
90% of your comments and posts are pro-CCP and anti-US. Do you get paid to do this? Or are you that brainwashed?
I think that is not nice way to communicate with people.
They have their opinion and they shared it, it is not rare to be person in current era angry at US and The Global West.
For some people being pro-China or pro-Russia actually means being against US or against NATO, which can be understandable for some parts of the world that were under attack from them in last few decades.
Ask them what happened to them and why they think like they do, maybe we can learn something new.
Nazi Germany was inspired by a lot of things, but absolutely the most came from Faschism, invented by Italian leader Benito Mussolini.
The USA couldn't have been fachist at that time even if they wanted to.
Hey! I just started to notice your messages around, with comments very critical of the USA with no argumentation whatsoever, that makes you my very first Lemmy troll, congrats :)
Same here. So ; argue, downvote, report or "don't feed the troll"?
I agree
I guess you don't read, because when people engage in discussion I respond with facts. Generally it ends with people like you insulting me, with some racist/classist argument which ends up being banned, or with people not responding or responding fallacies. I could write a wiki about being critical of the US. I am an Argentinian so I know from first hand what it feels to have a fascists installed by the US, and to have a history of debt trap enslavement at the hands of the very same people.
And why is THAT news?
Like are you people just learning this?
China is a dictatorship. USA is a corrupt pseudofascist empire. Russia is a criminal gang masquerading as a country.
And you're all...surprised? By this info?
So Xi didn't make himself leader for life? And he doesn't exert significant control over China's government?
Yeah both China and USA bad. What of it?
Yep, a dictator in all but name. Glad Biden called it out... quite a contrast to the sucking up the previous president was infamous for.
Can't wait till China has had enough shit from US and starts cutting US off economically.
