Equivalencies"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><em>(and other misleading things)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biden Did It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I was discussing the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump the other day.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the participants argued that Biden did the exact thing Trump did:&nbsp;&nbsp;use American funds to try to leverage a Ukrainian government decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;We went down \u201cinto the weeds\u201d of what Biden did back in 2016, as opposed to what the President did last summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ultimately, the argument faded out:&nbsp;&nbsp;neither side would accept the other sides \u201cfacts\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, Vice President Biden was representing US, NATO and EU policy when he told the Ukrainian government that we would withhold aid unless Prosecutor Viktor Shokin was removed.\u00a0\u00a0Shokin was uninterested in prosecuting corruption, particularly by the Russian backed Ukrainian oligarchs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will soon hear from Trump\u2019s \u201cpersonal lawyer\u201d Rudy Giuliani with accusations of Biden corruption.&nbsp;&nbsp;Those charges begin with a Shokin deposition.&nbsp;&nbsp;It shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that a Russian backed former Ukrainian Prosecutor would be opposed to the Democrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump, on the other hand, was actually (as opposed to threatening) holding congressionally mandated funds for Ukrainian defense.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he and his \u201cteam\u201d made it clear to the current Ukrainian government that they would have to announce investigations of Biden and Crowd Strike to get the money.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The announcement alone would provide more \u201cTrump cannon fodder\u201d for the 2020 campaign.&nbsp;&nbsp;There was no US government policy or interest being furthered, just the personal ambitions of the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while the two actions seem to be similar, in reality, they are completely different.&nbsp;&nbsp;And that\u2019s the definition of a \u201cfalse equivalency\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;We\u2019ve heard a lot about those lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baghdad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This week an angry riot began outside of the US Embassy in Baghdad.&nbsp;&nbsp;The rioters were protesting a US attack on an Iraqi militant group.&nbsp;&nbsp;The group had earlier killed an American citizen.&nbsp;&nbsp;The rioters tried to \u201ctake\u201d the embassy, and penetrated through the first layer of the multiple Embassy defenses.&nbsp;&nbsp;President Trump ordered additional US Marine reinforcements in, and within hours those Marines from Kuwait were landing in the Embassy courtyard.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More Marines or not, the Iraqi government finally helped to remove the protestors.&nbsp;&nbsp;They made an agreement with the militant group to reevaluate US military presence in Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Trump made the right decisions in this crisis.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Embassy staff hunkered down in the heavily defended core, and the multiple lines of defense in the most strongly defended US Embassy in the world held.&nbsp;&nbsp;As the crisis seemed to escalate, the President called in resources to reinforce the existing Marine guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just Like Benghazi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump supporters have taken this success, and tried to draw a parallel with the Benghazi crisis of the Obama Administration.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cTrump acted,\u201d they demand, \u201cwhile Obama (and Hillary Clinton) let those people die in Benghazi\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are creating a false equivalence between the two crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this false?&nbsp;&nbsp;What happened in Baghdad was at the most heavily defended US Embassy in the world, one that has always been considered a high-risk station.&nbsp;&nbsp;Benghazi was a lightly defended US Consulate, a condition that the Ambassador Stephens was well aware of when he went there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the recent case, US Marines and other troops from Central Command were on standby in Kuwait, 400 miles from Baghdad, about a two-hour helicopter flight.&nbsp;&nbsp;At Benghazi, the closest US troops were in Italy, over 700 miles away, and not a prepared assault force.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the issues the Obama Administration faced was that the military was not prepared to rescue anyone in Benghazi, and by the time that could be arranged, the riots and killing was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everyone Does It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden and Trump in Ukraine, Trump\u2019s actions in Baghdad and Obama\u2019s in Benghazi:\u00a0\u00a0they are similar situations.\u00a0\u00a0But both have huge practical differences that make comparing them uncertain at best, and a false equivalency at worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the final \u201cfalse equivalency\u201d in today\u2019s politics is in overarching theme:&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cTrump is just doing what all politicians do, he\u2019s just more blatant about it\u201d, followed by the inevitable \u201cDemocrats did it too\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is not a false equivalency, it is just bull.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just Bull<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a short list of Trump personnel in or going to jail:&nbsp;&nbsp;Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Papadopoulos, Cohen, and Stone.&nbsp;&nbsp;Another list of Trump Cabinet level officers who have resigned under fire:&nbsp;&nbsp;Shanahan, Price, Zinke, Sessions, and Acosta.&nbsp;&nbsp;There hasn\u2019t been a President since Andrew Johnson that had so many senior staff under accusation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even Nixon only lost a couple cabinet members to Watergate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President of the United States constantly violates accepted norms of behavior.\u00a0\u00a0He insults his opponents, belittles those who disagree with his policies, makes fun of the handicapped, and calls for the killing of those who speak against him.\u00a0\u00a0Not sure about the last one?\u00a0\u00a0Ask \u201cthe Whistleblower,\u201d the one the President accused of \u201ctreason\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cYou know what we did with traitors in the old days,\u201d are Trump\u2019s words.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scope of Trump&#8217;s actions are wide.  No Democrat has behaved this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s going to be a lot more false equivalencies made as the 2020 campaign season continues.\u00a0\u00a0Don\u2019t buy into them, and don\u2019t let others get away with using falsehoods to buttress their arguments.\u00a0\u00a0Whether folks accept or not, there is a single truth, a set of irrefutable facts, that should lead us to answers.\u00a0\u00a0Stand by the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Last night &#8211; the United States used an aerial drone to kill a senior Iranian General outside of the Baghdad airport<\/em>.  <em>While Soleimani lead Iran&#8217;s influence on groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, he was also one of the top leaders of the Iranian government.  There will be consequences.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(and other misleading things) Biden Did It I was discussing the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump the other day.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of the participants argued that Biden did the exact thing Trump did:&nbsp;&nbsp;use American funds to try to leverage a Ukrainian government decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;We went down \u201cinto the weeds\u201d of what Biden did back in 2016, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2020\/01\/03\/false-equivalencies\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;False Equivalencies&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>False Equivalencies : Our America - Essays on Politics and American Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This year will be full of comparisons: Biden and Trump, Baghdad and Benghazi, Bin Laden and Soleimani.
