Western sanctions and outright theft are blowing up in the Biden Regime’s face. What an incompetent bunch of assclown fags.

--- "Western sanctions and outright theft are blowing up in the Biden Regime's face. What an incompetent bunch of assclown fags."

Crude, but effective. I agree.

When enough of the world learns it can do with the City of London and Wall Street, the Fed and ECB, one game is up and another is begun.

As observed elsewhere, I repeat:

At the beginning of this still young century, the US National Debt was about 5 trillion USD. After wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, and the so-called "drone wars" much under Peace-Prize Obama, in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Libya, some of them covert, and all under the somewhat nebulous "war on terror," the US National Debt is now over 32 trillion USD.

An increase of 27 trillion USD in 23 years.

What is assured is that this rapid growth in debt in part has paid for and continues to pay for military "projection of power," with as yet only abandonment of many of these areas, particularly Afghanistan and Biden's bumbling withdrawal. War materiel expended and abandoned in the billions of USD worth. What has been gained? Solidly won and consistently secured?

But without a doubt, the manufacturers of war materiel here have been highly profitable, and now stocks being expended in Ukraine show US materiel for our own defense degraded. Ergo the ramping up of munitions manufacturing to resupply. All in the context and frame of more than $32 trillion in rising debt.

The "war" on indebtedness is being lost. With it America weakens. Utterly avoidable.

Eisenhower foretold and advised: "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

It seems in this moment we are not "prospering together." And our "peaceful methods and goals" lie in tatters.
