The Madness of America’s Ruling Class
American Thinker ^ | 11 Oct, 2022 | J. Robert Smith

Posted on 10/11/2022 5:03:35 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The ruling class has failed immensely. The last two years are proof, but with each passing day, one wonders: Are America’s elites plunging into madness? That’s a dead serious question. With their madness may go our lives. That’s dead serious, too.

Joe Biden spoke the other day about the possibility of nuclear “Armageddon.” With cataclysm in mind, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services spent $290 million on anti-radiation drugs. Uncle Sam makes plenty of wasteful expenditures, but is this one?

Said our doddering president, AP, October 7:

Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser, Biden said Thursday night that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “a guy I know fairly well” and the Russian leader is “not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons.”

SNIP

Jordan Schachtel, writing at The Dossier on Substack, says that Volodymyr Zelensky’s call to bomb Russia (now being walked back by the Ukrainian government) has no support from NATO.

But what if a direct attack on Russia isn’t what ignites major conflict with the Russians?

Retired General Jack Keane, a regular on Fox News programs, appeared on “Fox & Friends” last Friday. Keane is a war hawk. He’s pushed for a more aggressive U.S. military posture in Ukraine since the Russian invasion.

Keane said that if Putin uses tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the U.S. would have to respond. No other choice. Not in kind, mind you, but conventionally with a “comprehensive air and military attack” inside Ukraine. The aim would be to destroy the Russian army there. Putin loses, says Keane. But what he omits matters greatly.

If the U.S. strikes at the Russians in Ukraine, what assurance does Keane have that the war stays there, particularly if the U.S. is trying to annihilate the Russian army?

The fake voters got what they voted for.

The big presupposition is that Putin has unitary control of Russia, so he’ll lash out to save his own skin. That isn’t true. Putin isn’t Stalin and there are significant cracks already showing in Putin’s coalition of gangsters, so it is unlikely he has ability to order Russian forces to do something causing a major engagement with the US that they would lose.

I make a point of telling liberals that what is happening now is an outworking of their value system.

“Yet two nations armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons have never warred. American“

Because each side was cognizant of the other’s real no bluff red lines. Now we fight on their back door…which used to be a red line. Now somehow magically it isn’t any more. When exactly did that happen?

The supposed “ruling class” is nothing more than imperfect people put into position by people who voted for them. They’re anything but elite, they just think they are.

These imperfect idiots think they rule and act like they actually do but they don’t. Unfortunately, the majorities of these idiots don’t represent the best available but happen to be the only ones running. There are some good people in office but they’re the minority.

I’m sure most folks on FR like most Patriotic Americans aren’t ruled by anyone. We have tolerated those we have elected but the will of the American people, true Patriots, are at the breaking point of that toleration.

When government by the people for the people has turned into government for themselves you have a problem. We’re there and the solution is obvious. The only issue is how that solution is implemented.

Zelensk's call to bomb Russia

BS. Complete lie. Zelensk's speech was in Ukrainian, he did not use the Ukrainian word for bomb. He used the the Ukrainian word for hit or strike, as in to hit Russia with sanctions.

Jack Posobiec:
Please DO NOT RT this video of Stephen Colbert interviewing an Obama supporter about the plan for Ukraine in 2014 as it would be very distressing the mononarrative today!

[Gideon Rose, then the editor of Foreign Affairs magazine. Back when neocon interventionists were BRAGGING about pushing the 2014 Maidan Coup in Ukraine, to “flip” Ukraine from Russia to America. 4 minute video embedded in link.]

No. We are beyond sanctions. Soros and company want it to go nuclear. Puppet Zelensky may not want it to go nuclear, but he certainly doesn’t mean sanctions when he says strikes.

At the very least, he wants missile strikes.

Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

Zelensky- "we need pre-emptive strikes, so that they'll know what will happen to them if they use nukes, and not the other way around."

Isn't Romaplastin used to treat ITP? An autoimmune condition?

I wonder what else could cause mass autoimmune issues....

Hey, didn't a good percentage of the population inject themselves with an untested mRNA drug that has caused young people to suddenly drop dead?

America’s ruling class now works for China’s government. How did anybody think it was going to look?

Just watch that clip of Nancy Pelosi rubbing her fists together behind Biden as he spoke about American soldiers exposed to toxic fumes from burn pits. She is absolutely insane/demented.

The Russians can probably deliver two million tons of high explosives annually, about 100 Hiroshima bombs of explosive force.
