You don't think Dick Cheney made calls to world leaders?
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

If Bush/Cheney didn't play good cop/bad cop with any world leaders, I'm not a proper doctor.

I seem to recall, Dick Cheney taking over and managing the Republic of Georgia file when that nutcase Saakashvili decided he wanted join NATO and provoke armed conflict with Moscow. Pushed Bush and Sect'y of State aside and ran his own show there until all came tumbling down. Rather badly if recall correctly.

Dick Cheney taking over
I have little doubt that Cheney excerted a LOT of influence over foreign policy with Bush 43's administration.
I just think it was mostly behind the scenes, despite rumors.
This strikes me as a bit different, with the Vice President (who won zero primaries, I might add) directly interacting with foreign leaders.
Did Cheney, Biden, or other VEEPs do that?
I don't know.

Was Vice President Pence more involved as a vice president compared to history or less so?
Just curious what you guys think.

Obama went out of his way not to even be in the same room as Joe.

You guys are essentially complaining because Darth Vader is doing stuff rather than Palpatine. Or possibly Jar Jar Binks in the case of Biden and Bush II.

I think it seems like the VP is doing more because we have a senile president who does less.
Everytime a GOP-leaning poster questions why VP Harris does something instead of President Biden doing it himself, it always come down to do this: accusing Biden of suffering from mental decline to the point of being unable to do the job of a President.

Didn't Dan Quayle have some pretty detailed discussions with the Bolivians?
Or maybe that was Mike Tyson.

Actually, Harris had the border.
I'm sure she'll be down there just any time, now. Soon, maybe...

He's not suffering, he is living it up in the whitehouse.
When the dementia allows.
