Joe Biden, the man who has been "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," as former defense secretary Bob Gates wrote, has nebulously put the U.S. on a path to war with Russia. Not because he wants to. But because he doesn't know what he's doing.
That's the consensus of foreign policy experts as diverse as Thomas Friedman, golf buddy to President Obama, and Mark Wauck, the decorated former FBI official from its pre-wokedom era.
According to Friedman, writing on May 6:
If you just followed news reports on Ukraine, you might think that the war has settled into a long, grinding and somewhat boring slog

Why limit the criticism of Biteme's to just being wrong on foreign policy? The clueless twit has been wrong on everything.

I sincerely believe if Joe Biden found out that he is taking us to the edge of war he’d be as upset about it as we are. Think about it.

When properly trained, equipped, and led, American troops are the World’s best fighters. However, in this case, they should flip their so-called leader-in-chief the bird. MAGA

Please, Lord - save us from this senile doofus trying to prove how tough he is.
Remember the line from "Hunt for Red October" -- "This thing will get out of control. It'll get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."

There is a war beginning in this country, we do not want a war with Russia too.
However, the Biden junta seems determined to start one.

I worry that we are inching toward war with Russia. That is something I do not want. Even if we were to win, such a war would have devastating consequences.
I believe the most likely reason for this gradual move to war is largely because of the incompetence of Joe Biden. The "wag-the-dog" theory may hay some merit, but it is secondary. Biden really doesn't know what he is doing. And he is put in place civil and military leaders who are just as clueless. Someone behind it all is pulling the strings.
Who will pay? The average Russian and the average American will pay with their blood. And so will normal Ukrainians.

We are being led to destruction by a complete imbecile that is controlled by unaccountable people. The first thing to be sacrificed in a war is the truth. Do not believe all the propaganda coming out (on either side). Know that you and your family's life and security are being severely threatened by a cabal of elites that believe a "Limited" nuclear war is controllable and winnable. They are happy to sacrifice millions in the vain hope and belief that they will prevail in forcing the world to submit to their political and social ideology.

We are already at war with Russia by proxy! Our next revelation will be Seals or Rangers captured or killed in Ukraine! Then all bets are off and the nukes start exploding!

To the elites, it’s another form of population control. When Gates, Clinton’s, Obama’s all go silent ( in their bomb shelters) we’ll know something is going to happen.

Instead of calling on the intelligence agencies to stop leaking intelligence information concerning the sunk Russian warship and the killing of Russian Generals, Biden should be calling on his ultra partisan leftist politburo in the White House to stop leaking that intelligence data to the liberal media for partisan political purposes. Notice that Biden did not deny that the USA was involved in the sinking of that Russian warship and killing those high ranking Russian general officers. The Russians like everyone else with a head on their shoulders should know by now, based upon what Biden and his leftist politburo have said in the past, that anytime Biden and his crew say they are doing just about anything now, that most times they are actually doing the exact opposite. The reasons for Biden to stumble into a shooting war are there, the Democrats are forecast to get wiped out in the November election, Biden has a very partisan defense and intelligence operations in place, the military industrial complex is all for the big government contracts to supply war material and weapons to supply the USA and NATO militaries. The only thing Biden does not have is a big enough US ground force to pursue a long war with Russia, and with maybe China that could take advantage by invading Taiwan, once the USA gets bogged down in a ground war with Russia.

Also, don't forget the powerful behind-the-scenes influence of Soros, who hates America and who, at 91, surely knows that he, himself, doesn't have that much longer to live. Perhaps he wants to take the rest of us down with him.

Biden is a tool. The US depends on "war", mischaracterized as "defense" or "security" for the boobs who think the nation is somehow the "Leader of the Free World" and carries obligations to fight for "freedom" wherever said threatened in the world. This policy is nonsense, and Afghanistan the most recent example of its foolishness. And people whine about abandoned military equipment and Americans in the outback. Or about the lives given in vain. Well, that's the game and the price tag. And if this or that "ally" isn't spending enough, we fill in the gap for them...it's good for business on your dime. And the patriots cheer. Trillions for defense...and we wonder why we have "troubles" worldwide while no one else seems to.
So, let's get ready to rummmmmmble!

Soros just wants to see his life long goal of destroying America happen before he dies, he’s 91 now. Someone should deny him that satisfaction.

Another great and thoughtful essay from Monica Showalter!
Harken back to the JFK Presidency when we only had about 1,500 military "advisors" in Vietnam .... Kennedy wanted to get us OUT of Vietnam and was taking action to do so, because he was very wary of getting entangled into a situation that would lead U.S. DIRECTLY into war.
After his death, in August of 1964 came the TWO Gulf of Tonkin incidents where we were sneaking in and doing sabotage missions called DeSoto patrols. LBJ didn't go for the FIRST pretext that our troops were attacked, so they brought ANOTHER radio surveillance ship in and moved closer than international waters limits and the Maddox and Turner Joy were then on the next day "attacked" bringing us into WAR that eventually had over 600,000 Americans involved.
The fact is, that the radar operations on both ships gave oral histories that we were NOT attacked or fired upon, just run out after getting caught. These oral histories are at the Vietnam Archive at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. We were tricked into Vietnam!
BEWARE that another FAKE "pretext" comes and we end up in a much bigger situation.

Would the democrats actually start a war with Russia to prevent Trump from getting reelected? I think the democrats would do anything to prevent that. The D behind every democrat's name stands for despicable.

FJB needs a real war with Putin to distract from his own failures as POTUS. He is currently using the Ukrainians as cannon fodder, but they are holding off the Russkies and may actually win. Meanwhile America continues to fubar at his direction.

When even Tom Friedman thinks Biden doesn't know what he's doing, we are in trouble.

SPEAKING OF BIDEN: Is Jill in Ukraine seeking a Trist with her Counterpart's Husband or is she simply securing the rights to Hunter's and Joe's Income stream?

We'll all have a good laugh when Biden stumbles into doing something to REALLY hack off Putin and he (Putin) decides to nuke main land America. Although with democrats like Swalwell I wouldn't put it past them to nuke America themselves.

#19. DJ is in Ukraine to bring the poor suffering people Heinz ketchup. When Horseface married Heinz's widow I switched brands of ketchup and other condiments. Do not like to see people being killed whether they are Russian or Ukrainian. But I despise the government of the Uks. When Hunter was being paid $ 90k per month to do nothing a Ukrainian prosecutor tried to investigate an obvious pay for play. Then Quid Pro Joe told the Uks if they persisted in checking out bidet crime they would lose their billions in foreign aid from us. I don't want us involved in any more foreign wars unless it is in our national interest.
