Former PM’s promotion of Beijing-backed development in Sri Lanka has increased concern he could be a pawn for China’s Xi Jinping.

Does it matter if he’s popular? Getting the old skeletons out of the closet and hanging them up again seems to be a pretty popular tactic in western politics right now. The US took obviously demented Biden, the German conservatives are now lead by a guy that lost to Merkel 20 years ago, and now the UK are pulling Cameron back up.
Anything but leading a genuine generational change and moving to politics that do more than cling on to the past.
I’ve never seen any actual evidence that Biden is suffering from mental decline. Kind of feels like right wing propaganda and ageism.
I know plenty of people whose mental faculties remained till the end of their lives.
there is plenty of videos, where he is stuttering for words, talking about stuff only tangentially related or lashing out at journalists.
These are all signs of mental decline.
Certainly not worse than trump. I’m sure we can all agree.
In this regard they are both symptoms of the same problem. Instead of creating a new generation of leaders and moving on with the world, it is looked in the past, to find people that manage stagnation or reactionary politics moving backwards.
Biden was chosen on order to avoid the mistakes of Clinton.
a safe pair of hands that could not be accused of being a communist and could attract swing voters and allow republicans to hold their nose and vote for him.
At least republican’s would not have a visceral reaction and might happily stay away from the booths.
No they aren’t really.
Yes they are

The fourth and sixth point definetely apply to Biden.
They also apply to a huge number of people. I mean mood changes could not be more generic. He also seems to follow conversations fine.
You’re also ignoring the fact he doesn’t show 4 out of 6 lol

which means something else than “4 out of 6”
i expect a president not to starting talking during a press conference, that he thinks one of the reporters is an idiot. That is definetely more than the appropriate mood swing for a president
