Being honest enough to give credit where credit is due =/= wanting America nuked by anyone, let alone Castro.

It’s so blatant to see why his staff keeps him from doing interviews or for speaking for lengthy periods of time. This moron is gonna be like Trump and accidentally leak national security info.

Imagine Biden during the Cold War:

"We got Mr. Khrushchev to back down...We stopped him in Cuba, and he stopped us in Turkey. This is a bright day for our nation."

"Wait, Mr. President, you're not supposed to mention that."

"What? Turkey?"

"Yes. Also, everyone can hear you. Your mic's still on."

That has a grain of truth. Biden's perennial tendency to gaffes could have national security implications.
But those are as likely to be good as bad: government keeps far more secrets than it needs to.

That would be an example of good AND bad. If the US government has alien artifacts the people should know about it. On the other hand, if the government has teleportation ability it would have huge military applications. Hmm.

"The meeting with the aliens was tremendous, very great people these aliens are. We've worked out a great peace deal, really beautiful, the most magnificent peace deal in history. I know deals, I wrote a book about deals and this is the most beautiful one of all. People in Washington were telling me we shouldn't sign this deal but I signed it and it's a perfect deal, almost as perfect as the phone call but not quite."

And it's understandable though how would you feel if Sanders picked someone more moderate than him?

I'd be relieved personally, he needs a well liked moderate in his cabinet or as his VP.
Personally I like Tulsi Gabbard.
