I increasingly see this as another Suez Crisis.

In 1956, France and the UK were still seen as Great Powers. They had been on the winning side in WWII and they were major players on the world stage. Until some Egyptian guy named Nasser seized the Suez Canal. France and the UK begged Eisenhower to help them, but Ike refused. France and the UK realized that they were powerless against this Egyptian, and they eventually backed down. No longer Great Powers — and everyone knew it.

I see Russia doing well in The Ukraine and coming out of this war much stronger than when they went in. The West, on the other hand, just looks foolish, weak and corrupt. Both NATO and the US are going to come out of this war weaker than when they went in. The US is incapable of being a moral leader in the world. We are rotting, debt-ridden, and weak — and everyone knows it.

It didn’t have to be that way, but countless voters were duped by the anti-American Democrat Party run by Deep State apparatchiks who were responsible for stealing the 2020 Presidential election. Had that not occurred, the catastrophe to which you refer would not now be happening.

Without a large, healthy industrial base to support it America’s military might is a false front. We couldn’t fight a major war for six months with the outsourcing Globohomo leadership we have. The only thing saving our bacon right now is nuclear weapons.
