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?

I keep thinking of the move The Day After. It all goes awry when the soviets start using tactical nukes in an open conflict with NATO and then NATO HQ gets nuked and then Russia launches. There is no oops button when using nukes.
Once the launch order is given, it’s over. In 30 minutes we go back to pre-industrial age. No electricity, no computers, AC, Forced air, gas, cars, supermarkets … all the comforts we enjoy today. Half of this country will starve to death within 30 days.
If this is what these idiots want, then make your peace with God. The rapture will be upon us.
I can be dead in four days just by refusing water. If that’s we are at, I will just take off my winter jacket and lie down in a field.
I mostly drivel
Our “leaders” are purposely destroying our wealth, our values, our national identity. Lately they’ve accelerated their efforts.
I wonder if they haven’t gotten impatient enough to believe a nuclear holocaust would be just the ticket. I mean, who’ll be around to pick up the pieces if not them?
Dead serious.
“The ruling class has failed immensely.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s Socialism, Communism or Leftism it always ends up with the elites living high on the hog and the plebes living in their excrement.
“The ruling class has failed immensely.”
I guess that depends on what you believe they were trying to accomplish.
People here may not think they are ruled, but they are. Watch and see what will happen if a Russian-NATO erupts. See what happens if you conduct anti-war protests. Not the relatively mild treatment those protesting US involvement in the Viet Nam War (because most didn’t object to North Viet Nam’s campaign against the Republic of Viet Nam, just the US being engaged in fighting the communists). The treatment of the Jan 6 ‘insurrectionaries’ will be the template.
Perhaps insane/demented but definitely evil.
“Anti-radiation drugs?” What, iodine tablets? That’s what I took occasionally when messing around with radionuclides in a nuclear center for my doctoral research.
