But they’re right. Politically and existentially.

I stopped reading as soon as I came across this idiocy in the very first paragraph:

Such an outcome would bring a battered but triumphant Russian army right up to NATO’s border from the Black Sea to the Arctic Ocean.

Russia’s army is right up against NATO’s border because NATO has expanded to include countries that border Russia. That has nothing to do with Ukraine.

Biggest war mongering murder abettors on the planet.

Food for thought. I thought, and my answer is no.

The Nuland was rubbing one out yesterday at the thought of all the dead Ukie boys, girls and old guys, and the dead Russian boys that are going to pleasure her this summer.

The real food for thought is who this piece was put out by:

Our Board Members:

General Jack Keane (US Army, Retired), Chairman, Institute for the Study of War; President, GSI, LLC

Dr. Kimberly Kagan, Founder & President, Institute for the Study of War

The Honorable Kelly Craft, Former US Ambassador to UN and Canada

Dr. William Kristol, Director, Defending Democracy Together

The Honorable Joseph I. Lieberman, Senior Counsel, Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman, LLP

Kevin Mandia, Chief Executive Officer & Board Director, Mandiant

Jack D. McCarthy, Jr., Senior Managing Director & Founder, A&M Capital

Bruce Mosler, Chairman, Global Brokerage, Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.

General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Retired), Partner, KKR and Chairman, KKR Global Institute

Dr. Warren Phillips, Lead Director, CACI International

Colonel William Roberti (US Army, Retired), Managing Director, Alvarez & Marsal

Hudson La Force, former Chief Executive Officer of W. R. Grace & Co

This is from a NEOCON advocacy group for endless wars to support the military industrial complex and keep re-electing the status-quo that keeps the money flowing. Take it with a grain of salt!

This is way too long to read, so I copied it and pasted it into chat GPT and gave the following instructions. “Summarize in a mocking voice.”

Here’s what it came up with:

Oh, look at this insightful piece of writing! The United States should be super worried about Russia’s actions in Ukraine because, you know, if they let Russia win, it’s gonna cost them a ton, and they’ll have to send loads of troops to Eastern Europe, and that’s just not fun for their budget. But hey, Ukraine’s not Afghanistan, it’s got an economy, and maybe it could even support its own military someday. So, maybe the US should help Ukraine win? But who knows, it’s all a bit complicated. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, those sneaky Russians and their air defense network plans! They were trying to use S-300 and S-400 systems to mess with NATO’s defense of the Baltic States. But guess what? Ukraine’s pushback in 2022 kept the threat away from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. Now, Russia’s tied up in Ukraine, so they can’t be a menace to NATO. But if Western aid suddenly stops, Russia might march all the way to Western Ukraine and set up shop near Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. They’re even ready to station a bunch of armies there and make life difficult for NATO. So, watch out! 🙄

TYhey have never been right about anything they promote. Save your RAT existential BS for someone who is ignorant enough to buy it.

Yeah deep fear is setting in. Russia will soon start looking at all those western weapons that flooded in and killed Russian solders and you don’t think the Russian public will be behind a retaliatory move?

Perhaps you'd like to share your choice for the top Neocon foreign policy achievement?
