Apparently armed drones have attacked Moscow three times in the last week. At least one civilian has been injured.
Let’s review the obvious. Russia has an “assured mutual destruction” kind of nuclear arsenal. Moscow is the nation’s capital and the center of government. The nation is lead by a dictator for life kind of guy who has some control over the military.
I have no interest in being a pawn in a game of chicken where I don’t know who is calling the shots on my side. An Alzheimer’s afflicted, self serving fool? A guy who has a dirty financial past with principals on one side, perhaps both sides? The guys who engineered the Afghan retreat? The guys who’ve been pumping arms and money into Ukraine and have no idea where they’re ending up. That’s over $100 billion. The guys who lie openly in matters like this, see laptop story suppression. Or the guys who surreptitiously fired a lead Iran negotiator and refuse to say why.
I don’t trust any of them. I can’t understand what these fools may do in my name or why. Am I misunderstanding our current circumstances?

You are not.
China rattling its saber.
North Korea unhinged.
Saudis siding with China.
Japan remilitarizing.
Russia embarrassed.
The world’s semiconductor supply under the Chinese sword of Damocles.
The U.S. without stout political leadership, and possibly with a president compromised by the Chinese and Russians (for real this time), not to mention in drastic mental decline.
Starts to have the feel of WWIII doesn’t it?

It ought to lead the libtards and demtards who voted for Biden to issue apologies to the nation. Trump Uber alles, F Joe Biden, Fauci, Pelosi, Schiff, Newsom, and all the rest of these shitbirds. And F Mitch McConnell and Mitt too. Rome didn’t fall in a day, but America has fallen in less than 3 years.
“I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I

However . . .
When I cut through my frustrations with individual politicians, I continue to reach the conclusion that we are right to support Ukraine standing up to Russia, and if we can do this will improve European security and discourage CHinese aggression in Asia. And there is always another hot-spot (or multiple) requiring focus in the future.

[quote quote=7499]The problem with supporting a proxy war is we are in for $100b so far with no end in sight. That is a stunning amount of money.[/quote]
Never mind the money. The US has no problem jumping into armed conflict with no defined end game. We might as well be brer rabbit hugging a tar baby.
