Who had “Big Mouth Biden Talks His Way into World War III” on their Everything Sucks 2022 Edition bingo card?
As the Ukraine War drags into its fifth week, things aren’t going well for Russia. That isn’t to say Ukraine is winning, but Russia has lost nearly 10,000 men, according to a (since scrubbed) semi-official Russian report, thousands more have been wounded, there are untold numbers of destroyed armored vehicles, trucks, frontline fighters, attack jets and helicopters, and five senior generals (and even more colonels) have been killed.
Perhaps even worse, from the view at the Kremlin, is that Russia’s painfully expensive ten-year military modernization has proven to be a painfully expensive sham.
This is when wise Western leadership — an unfunny joke these days, I know — would be taking Sun Tzu’s ancient advice to heart.
“Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across,” he told winning generals.
In other words: When the other guy is effectively beaten but still needs to keep his dignity intact, offer him a gracious way out. You never know how much fight he might have left in him, or what desperate-stupid thing he might try if you insist on pushing him too hard.
Not warring is almost always better than warring, particularly in the case of Ukraine, which is Not. Our. War.
Can you guess what Presidentish Joe Biden is doing instead?
If you guessed, “The most extreme and dangerous exact opposite of what Sun Tzu would have done,” well … BINGO.

That’s the idiot’s way to start World War III, but from Joe Biden, what else did you expect?
This has little to do with Biden and everything to do with Putin wanting a legacy as the Tsar who rebuilt the Soviet Empire. And the mixed metaphors are quite accurate.
“This has little to do with Biden and everything to do with Putin wanting a legacy as the Tsar who rebuilt the Soviet Empire.”
The dem-neocon talking points are up early.
Indeed. There are a few vocal ones here of late.
Until (the) Ukraine and all witnesses therein are destroyed, the Biden/Clinton/Pelosi/Romney crime syndicate remains in jeopardy.
Don't expect a peaceful resolution.
Over the past 20+ years. Steven Greene has turned into one of my “go to” columnist. His analysis is usually spot on with a little humor (something this world sorely needs) added.
Biden should tell Putin how to properly pull out of a war. He did a great job in Afghanistan.
The global economy is in shambles, fiat currency is world wide and collapsing. Most countries on earth have a surplus of fighting age men. World war is not only inevitable it already has started. War are great for an economy and the victors if they keep there industrial infrastructure intact get half a century or more of be ing a superpower while they rebuild and colonize the rest of the world. Sound familiar it should that’s exactly what happened in WWII and will happen again once WWIII is over. The sooner we wake up and get in the fight the better the chances we get to be the rebuilder superpower again.
Who cares what Sun Tzu would do.
Does this writer think we are China?
Stop with the silly names. Putin made his plans clear a long time ago. Recall Sarah Palin talked about Pidor Putin planning to invade Ukraine in 2008. Or are you going to go Full Retard and call her names, too?
“Stop with the silly names.”
What, dem-neocon?
“The dog that yelps...”
Yup. Ya’ went Full Retard.
NEVER GO FULL RETARD!
“Ya’ went Full Retard.
NEVER GO FULL RETARD!”
—MercyFlush
“Stop with the silly names.”
—also MercyFlush
Did you fall down yet, from all that spinning?
Basket of Retard.
Oh sure, let's start World War Three with "Diaper Joe Senility" as Commander in Chief, and a talentless California lawyer as backup (if Joe chokes on an ice cream cone). It would be a lot less suicidal to just book a flight on a plane, with Joe as pilot & Kamela ('rhymes with Pamela') as copilot...

Utter and total bullsh#t.
