I already praised Biden for passing the biggest bill to fight climate change!

I used the word "dither", to point out that we need the world to work together to fight climate change.
This is why we need to work with China!!!

What I meant to say was that we (the world) cannot afford to dither

But I digress - you are correct to say that passing large bills that support moving away from fossil fuels
absolutely do show the world that we mean business in the US, regarding doing something!

It's a diplomacy issue I have with the Biden Administration that I feel falls short.

I think he tries to be tough with China - to show that he's tough on the domestic side (domestic politics in the US is old person school)
I say fight for what is right (young people school)
So this means - you work with China - you show that you are honest and at the same time you show that you don't take bullshit for an answer - but that comes later on...

any way I'm not a yes man to any political party.
