What do tyrants do when their ship is sinking or, more accurately, when they realize that their house of cards will not hold up? They divert their populace by starting a war — or at least allowing one to happen. War isn't simply a way of diverting attention, either. The very fact of a war emergency makes it far easier to erode or negate whatever civil liberties still exist. Think: PATRIOT Act.
Currently, war beckons in two places: the Russian-European border and the South China Sea and Taiwan. I'm not saying that either Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping is an aggrieved party. Both could conceivably become the Hitlers of the 21st century.
But ask yourself if the floundering, self-immolating Biden-Harris administration might not rejoice at the gargantuan pass it would get if Americans — including especially conservative Americans — must focus on a foreign enemy. Gone would be the rightful concerns about vaccine madness, dementia, runaway inflation, Big Tech/mass media fascism, corrupt education unions, failing Democrat cities, ginned up racial hatred, attacks on the Second Amendment, the federalization of elections, a corrupt FBI and DOJ, election fraud, the Russia Hoax, parental rights and school boards, an open southern border, and on and on.
Biden (and Harris, if there's room) will wrap themselves snugly in the flag, and all will be forgiven. For a time. But the theft of civil liberties will make a "comeback" highly unlikely for freedom. The Uniparty will own everything.

If he knows the truth, it would be the last thing he wants!
Not a surprise. After the Olympics, China most likely will move on Taiwan, and that move will trigger Russia moving on the Ukraine. Who’s to stop them. China has paid off Biden and Putin is definitely not afraid of Biden.
Putin has dirt on Biden. So does Xi.
Makes for dangerous times.
If there is a war, it will start where you don’t expect it to start...
A war of convenience may also be used to sideline the 2024 presidential election thus sidelining D J Trump.
I suspect that once Putin moves into Ukraine, Biden will move against any political opposition in the US with military force, arresting anyone the FBI perceives as a “Dissident” filling our jails and prisons with political prisoners first, then he will move against Russia, committing US troops to protect Joe and Hunter’s interests in Ukraine after he has neutered any opposition of his actions at home. JMHO.
Noted in our local newspaper here in East TN that more than 80 guard members out of Millington TN will be traveling to Fort Bliss TX to join up with other units who will be going to the Horn of Africa. During their yearlong overseas deployment, the guardsmen will perform several missions, including base defense and critical site security. The commander of their Military Police Company said that they will provide security assets for the ongoing mission of the US Africa Command. He further emphasized that they are trained and know what lies ahead.
Sounds like a dream assignment, huh! What the heck is over there worth getting our blood and treasure maimed and killed for? Oh yeah, it might be some of those precious minerals that China already has first dibs on. Wouldn’t we be better served by installing permanent military security on our own borders first? *rhetorical question
Now you’re onto something.
At war with another nuclear power would be insanity. It would go nuclear within hours or days. Prior to or simultaneous would be at least one sunken carrier with thousands killed. I’m so willing to risk nuclear war for Ukraine or Tiawan. Unthinkable. If half the country is terrified of COVID imagine the populace once nukes fall. Unimaginable.
Or so willing. NOT willing
Rats are dreaming of blowing the dust off of those Wilsonian Sedition Acts.
A war of convenience may also be used to sideline the 2024 presidential election thus sidelining D J Trump.
When in the history of the US has a presidential election ever been postponed because of a war? Heck, even the 1864 election was held during the Civil War.
These are different times my friend and this country is already in a war and our enemy currently occupies and controls DC. The sooner the American people accepts that fact, the better we will be in changing it.
They [the Republican and Democrat Political Parties] have proven that that they will do what it takes to get President Trump out of the White House. It may be inferred that they will do what it takes to keep President Trump out of the White House. Should it take starting a nuclear war, so be it!
True.
