Joe Biden warns that the progressive democratic world order is at risk of collapse [tr]
CNBC ^ | 18 Jan 2017 | Jay Yarrow

Vice President Joe Biden delivered an epic final speech Wednesday to the elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The gist of his speech was simple: At a time of "uncertainty" we must double down on the values that made Western democracies great, and not allow the "liberal world order" to be torn apart by destructive forces.

Biden went after Russian President Vladimir Putin by name, saying he is using "every tool" in his power to whittle away the European project, and undermine Western democracies. Biden accused Putin of wanting to "roll back decades of progress." Biden said Russia used "cyber aggression" to meddle in the U.S. election, an assertion supported by 17 U.S. intelligence agencies. He also warned that we will see further interference from Russia in the future and said the "purpose is clear" — that Putin wants to see a "collapse of the international order." "Simply put, Putin has a different vision of the future," the vice president warned.

At the outset of his speech, Biden implored the media to not hear his speech as a shot at President-elect Donald Trump, who takes office on Friday. And, while what Biden said applies broadly to leaders in Europe, as well as the United States, there is no mistaking that his comments were a rebuttal to Trump's friendly statements about the Russian president.

It’s that the Russians and Chinese ( and their allies) want a different type of global world order.

Yes stand by a few more days.....watch all of these liberal fascists slide down the gullet of the dust bin of history, where they belong, unmourned and completely forgotten, except for their lingering stink, which helps patriots to be ever vigilant against any attempt for them to rise in the future.

The globalists are threatened by the people, whom they see as pawns to be manipulated for the benefit of corporatism. One of the values that made Western democracies great is the will of the people. The government works for the people, not the other way around. Biden can't accept that the people reject the views of the globalists. Biden wants to double down and impose his views regardless of what the people want.

If I was a Euro the very LAST thing I’d want is war with Putin that was started by Joe Biden.

An admission that the leftist are in fact trying to or have in many ways tried to quell any resistance to their agenda. SO THERE IS A LEFT WING CONSPIRACY AFTER ALL.

Soros is an old man (86) and likely to be dead within the next 8 years.

Can't happen soon enough!

What Biden is too stupid to realize and his Davos audience is too corrupt to admit is that the collapse of the globalist house of cards is something that most people will celebrate rather than fear.

The ideology of international finance, where nation-states are supposed to become obsolete supplanted by transnational bureaucracies, financial entities, and corporations is a kindred spirit to Marxism. The idols of Davos Man will fall as surely as statues of Marx and Lenin fell in former Communist countries, because internationalism, multiculturalism, and social radicalism calling itself "capitalism" is just as alien to most people as internationalism and multiculturalism that calls itself "socialism."

Just because the elites at Davos value their allegiance to the IMF or to the UN more than their own nations doesn't mean that the rest of the world thinks that way. Both America and Europe are rejecting the doctrines of the free flow of people and capital in favor of national sovereignty. The collapse of the Davosite's international order will be an even greater revolution than the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“Progress” to a guy like Biden means global domination by a small cadre of cynical oligarchs.

If Russia did have anything to do with Podesta’s and the DNC’s emails then all they did was help WikiLeaks put in black and white some of the corruption of the democrats and Hillary and the collusion between the DNC and the rinos.

As for trying to affect an election, all the power countries do it. They all have their reasons for wanting a person in power they can work with. Or in Hillary’s case, control. Putin wanted Hillary. He would have owned her.
