Biden ends U.S. support for Yemen war

Good. We don't work for the Saudis.

Freezes troop redeployment in Germany

The US under Trump was involved in several proxy wars, I hope this is the start of them coming to an end.

The war he capitalised on the most, was the one that he started in the US. That one is still being fought and that will be his most insidious legacy.

Biden has made the right choice. For now.

Good news on diplomacy, but still NO MORE WARS.

Among the most cynical of cynical policies - jobs for Americans, billions for the defense industry and their shareholders, but deaths and devastation abroad where the weapons are used. I'm sure the GoTrumperzz who railed against US support for Saudi Arabia in Yemen claiming their Trump would fix things must by now realize their Trump failed on that account, too.
