We have many similar octogenarian armchair general influencers responding to the Biden administration's calls for help right here.

If the first casualty of war is the truth, the second casualty are all the perfumed princes who achieved high rank in peace time with no competency at leading combat forces. The flag and command officer bloodletting in the early days of WWII was staggering, and rivers flowed red for months.

“US officials”

Same people who claimed Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, and made two impeachment attempts, and then threw an election to oust Trump?

“U.S. officials said.”

And nobody with a brain believes them anymore.

But some, neuro-impaired, forget about the previous years of outright lies and fabrications coming out of the USIC. All to help dems, who are still (barely) in power. With the clock ticking.

It going to get worse. The Propaganda.

“The flag and command officer bloodletting in the early days of WWII was staggering, and rivers flowed red for months.”

particularly awful were the commanders in the naval battles in and around the Guadalcanal campaign ...

It’s hilarious. After 2 years of endless hyping of a virus and a “vaccine” by our govt. and MSM, I can’t believe that some ppl here still choose to take at face value anything these same entities are spewing about a civil war between 2 corrupt countries half a world away. That they’re chomping at the bit for WWIII is also quite scary. 😬
