    You started this thread. Your thread title speaks for itself. Biden is in violation of his oath of office if you believe your own thread title.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    Biden isn't mentioned anywhere in my OP. And LIO what it was called in the 1940's We've had LIO for 75 years. It's the reason why we have the UN and NATO et al.

    Yes, yes, yes, of course because people can't add 2 plus 2 and come up with 4. Why does international matter to you at all?

    What do you mean why it matters to me? It's what it is called. Would it make you happy if I said "liberal world order"?

    The question as to why the word "international" matters to me? I don't get the question. But I'll try to answer. It matters because internationally we are in this together. What affects others will affect us. And what affects us, will affect others.

    The Resident didn't swear an oath to the international community.

    I never said the President swore an oath to the NATO. And yes he swore an oath to the US of A.

    the bottom line. watch those entaglingling alliances..soon you are paying to build solar panels in Angola

    Biden in Spain
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...-madrid-spain/
    In the G7 in Germany, we also launched what started off to be the Build Back Better notion, but it’s morphed into the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, to offer developing and middle-income countries better options to meet their urgent infrastructure needs. Because when the United States and G7 countries put skin in the game, it helped bring — it helps bring millions of dollars up to — before it’s all over — up to possibly a trillion dollars of private sector money off the sidelines — $600 billion in just the next few years.

    Unlike China, these projects will be done transparently and with very high standards. For example, the U.S. government just facilitated a new partnership between two American firms and the government of Angola to invest $2 billion building a significant solar project in Angola.
