This meme being pushed in the media of the Ukraine/Russia being a new Cuban missile crisis is a hail Mary pass by the Biden administration to paint him as a Kennedy’esq figure to save his presidency. If there is no nuclear attack (likely, hopefully) he gets credit (from the media and leftists) for the greatest diplomatic achievement of the century in averting the destruction of humanity by working tirelessly behind the scenes as the greatest and smartest president that ever lived! If they (Russia) actually do it, Biden declares marshal law, no elections, total government control for the good of all. End of America as we know it.

(Not one of their better songs, IMHO, but still, it’s timely)
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”
― H.L. Mencken
I don't really think they have a plan. They're just kicking the nuclear football down the road hoping it doesn't go off.
Someone ask Biden if instead of Ukraine, could he spare a few billion on the hundreds of thousands of hurricane victims in Florida.
Sorry, martial law cannot stop the elections. Even during the “real insurrection” (I.e. the Civil War), the elections were still held.
Thoughts?
End of America as we know it.
America is not now as I knew it.
I don’t see how it’s possible for Biden to credit for anything other than causing the problem.
The US has no interest in preventing Russia from nuking the Ukraine — and certainly not enough of one to risk being nuked ourselves.
For Biden to suggest it does is merely him trying to create a crisis where one otherwise would not exist.
Seriously: the people running Biden and the White House need to be replaced. Stat.
I agree with that. Talk about "insurrection"!
For the party in power to cancel elections (TOTALLY unprecedented and illegal) while investigating the minority party for low-level trespassing ("insurrection" and "threat to our democracy") would really send the message that our system of government is a complete illusion.
Who is going to stop them from stopping the elections? What do you envision the republicans doing to stop it?
Not a thing, not a thing.
Or they will simply decide who gets to vote and who does not. So there will be an election after all.
The reason the Democrats are doing so much to realize their agenda now, is that they anticipate losing control of Congress.
They'll do what they can to make sure their losses are as small as possible, but they aren't cancelling the elections.
Do you think the Russians of 1916 expected what was coming their way? They were no dumber or smarter or less patriotic than us, yet…
The Mensheviks (today’s Democratic Party) supported all of it, thinking they would be the ruling class, then the Bolshevik’s (today’s leftists) upon taking over power, wiped out the Mensheviks.
I think the bigger question is, “what is the benefit of stopping the election?”
Even Sadam Hussien had “elections” as fraudulent as they might have been. A government’s legitimacy comes from the governed, and elections are necessary to establish that.
Yep its a scorched earth approach. Leave the Republicans nothing but ash to work with. And it's working.
They care nothing for this county, it's people, it's borders, it's culture and traditions. If they can't rule it, it might as well just die.
I remember sitting on a park bench near Washington, DC and wondering if my husband and I should bug out into the countryside. We had no way of guessing how the Cubans or the Ruasians would act. This time I am not feeling the same level of anxiety. Maybe its old age, or perhaps I sense something different. One difference was that over Cuba I think the options were atom bombs or no atom bombs. Now there are the varied options of little bombs, big bombs, huge bombs, and tactical field operations small nukes. If it happens it will more likely be small nukes or tactical ones. I wish I could just go to my beach cottage for a while.
Radioactive wheat….not for me.
Yep to both
