Anyway, my general perspective on this topic is that, well, I'm surprised. I really was expecting Biden's administration to really get stuck into the American Imperialism® we all know and love. I suppose we'll have to see where it goes — after all, these are the words of a politician (the US President, no less), so I guess really it's worth less than jack shit. But we'll see.
Generally America needs to **** off out of the Middle East and stop roving around like the World Police. But global capitalism needs its billy club boys to keep itself nice and oiled up.

Out of curiosity what on Earth made you think Biden was going to be more of a war monger than Trump ?

"Twice in the last five weeks, Joe Biden has claimed that despite voting to authorize military force against Iraq in 2002, he opposed the Iraq war from “the moment” it began. That’s not accurate, and Biden now says he misspoke."
Trump, on the other hand — and don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of the man one bit — was pretty mild on foreign policy, i.e. the great tradition of American state-sanctioned imperialist terrorism, as far as it goes. The one thing I was vaguely impressed by in terms of Trump's presidency was how comparably anti-interventionist he was compared to Obama and especially ****ing Bush.
