Yet sociologists are celebrating, because to them "racism" ONLY refers to when a Republican speaks in an impolite way, never when a neoliberal Democrat brutally slaughters millions of brown people abroad for corporate profit.
Joe Biden is said to be building the most hawkish cabinet in US history
-
Jake Sullivan -- helped design US policy inflicting societal destruction and population genocide against Libya and Syria under the Obama administration, key aide to Hillary Clinton
Susan Rice -- extreme neoconservative "liberal hawk," key architect of genocidal war against Libya
Anthony Blinken -- pushed for US military intervention in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen
Lloyd Austin -- board member of Raytheon, Nucor, and Carnegie Corporation (hello, military-industrial complex)
Avril Haines -- made decision not to charge Bush CIA officials for extreme, grotesque torture (including torture that resulted in death); key architect of Obama's drone warfare policy
Who am I forgetting exactly?
-
Oh also,
Jon Finer -- Warburg Pincus executive; former Washington Post employee who published pro-war coverage of the Bush Iraq invasion as an embedded reporter
Victoria Nuland -- wife of leading neoconservative ideologue Robert Kagan; key architect of Nazi-led Maidan coup in Ukraine

Ol uncle Joe gonna have us in multiple additional conflicts and ramp back up the ones orange was winding down.
I mean, come on, we're talking about the guy who was VP to president drone strike himself, here. And, in case you missed it, Joe is a little bit of a hot head.

It's not the most hawkish in history. I still give that to W. But it's bad. I don't see a lot of sociologists excited about this, and I'm not the only one in my network causing a fuss about it. Not even close.
Someone has tried to raise this issue here before with Obama's foreign policy. It didn't work. Bar one person, pretty much the entire forum agreed that Democrats are too violent.
Most sociologists certainly wanted Trump gone and celebrated his loss, enthusiasm for Biden is very low. Including on this very issue.

Just like an ASA committee in regards to political orientations; or any sociology faculty meeting in the North East USA

the most hawkish cabinet except every other one. were you not alive for Bush II?
Hard for me to say except for all the others. I think W. as more hawkish is certainly a fair read. It's comparable to the Obama admin, as a lot of these people are repeats. Arguably more than Trump, who got us involved in no new wars. That said, Trump did enter into a new conflict with Iran and loosened the rules of engagement regarding civilian casualties. I think it probably will be more hawkish than the Trump admin, without buying into the view that Trump's wasn't hawkish.

Trump was more hawkish than Obama, mostly by default. Obama was the least hawkish president in a time. Trump bombed the s**t out of many more places.
You have to go back to before the cold war to find am actually not hawkish president.
