Is Biden Not Being Impeached Because His Crimes Are How D.C. Does Business?

Ukraine is in an existential fight with a brutal enemy.

No, Ukraine has, from the beginning, was fighting a proxy war that we and NATO desperately wanted and has done everything it we can to keep going against Russia.

Everything that has happened in Ukraine has been result in our meddling there, going back to illegal coup we fomented back in 2014. We installed a puppet government that was hostile to both Russia and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine. We setoff a civil war there. We armed, trained and funded a 600,000 man army. We armed Ukraine with weapons that could hit Russia. We teased NATO membership for Ukraine. We were running biolabs in Ukraine with deadly pathogens in them.

If Russia or China had done anything like that Mexico, we, justifiably, would invade.

The article reminds me of the ancient Greek insult referring to someone as "fighting like a barbarian," meaning that he had no sense of an adversary's strategy and method of attack. Or, to put it another way, it is like someone describing the terrors, damage, and injuries of a hurricane with no understanding of what a hurricane is and without any warning, defense, or preparation against it.

Having been through more than my share of hurricanes and political and legal situations and fights, I no doubt read this sort of writing more critically than most. Yet I think that my point is easy enough to understand. I do not want a lot of whining, I want to know how to better assess dangers and well-informed advice on deal with them.

Your assessment is overdrawn and absurdly sympathetic to Putin and Russia and hostile to the US and our interests. Ukraine, for all its faults (and ours), is the victim, not Russia and Putin, and the vast majority of the Ukrainian people want to align with the US and Europe, not Russia and its thuggish rulers.

The fundamental problem is that Russia is a nation in decline due to its communist legacy, corrupt rulers, and autocratic system of government. Instead of reform or exiting the stage after a proper election, Putin foolishly invaded a neighbor and is now caught in a fight that he can neither win nor withdraw from. In a sense, so also are the US, NATO, and Europe caught in the fight on Ukraine's behalf.

And there is a rule of good sense when you are stuck in a fight: you had better aim to win. Call me simple-minded, but I prefer for the US and her allies to win, not Putin and his gangster regime.

We have every justification to retaliate on Mexico as it purposely funnels millions of unskilled savages over the borders this criminal regime of usurpers have opened wide. Except who can blame them when we first have to take care of our criminals who hold that door open.

As many posters here pointed out there’s a very strange amount of Republicans siding with the Demoncrats protecting Biden’s regime.

Could it be that too many Republicans fall quickly to the exhortations of “those across the aisle” who reek of sulfer? As in the bizarre support for the proxy war on Russia via Ukraine. “Easy money. No one will ever find out. Just the occasional vote when asked.”

I was heartened that Tucker’s interview with Putin showed he’s totally up on all this and actually laughed. But I worry that the greedy power-mongering idiots might force his hand to actual serious measures. We know now that the “Space Cowboys” scenario of orbiting nukes are real and China also has them (as do we, of course); and much of the classified space traffic of the last twenty years has been placement of countermeasures. There would be a horrible REAL game of “Missile Command” until some got through - and they will.

But now Artificial Intelligence is the big trend and it seems our leaders will trust it as it won’t allow human compassion or considerations for survival cause any hesitation to strike before the enemy does.

Hopefully it will hook up with the opposing forces AI and either call it off or obliterate all of us so quickly we won’t even know.

Meanwhile don’t answer the door to big creepy guys looking for Sarah Connor.
