The War Is Getting More Dangerous for America, and Biden Knows It
NY Times ^ | May 6, 2022 | Thomas L. Friedman

Posted on 05/08/2022 4:52:23 PM PDT by McGruff

If you just followed news reports on Ukraine, you might think that the war has settled into a long, grinding and somewhat boring slog. You would be wrong.

Things are actually getting more dangerous by the day.

For starters, the longer this war goes on, the more opportunity for catastrophic miscalculations — and the raw material for that is piling up fast and furious. Take the two high-profile leaks from American officials this past week about U.S. involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war:

First, The Times disclosed that “the United States has provided intelligence about Russian units that has allowed Ukrainians to target and kill many of the Russian generals who have died in action in the Ukraine war, according to senior American officials.” Second, The Times, following a report by NBC News and citing U.S. officials, reported that America has “provided intelligence that helped Ukrainian forces locate and strike” the Moskva, the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. This targeting assistance “contributed to the eventual sinking” of the Moskva by two Ukrainian cruise missiles.

“Russia is primed to launch a preemptive strike against NATO. NATO refuses to allow a negotiated peace. This can only end one way with the current crop of White House warmongers.”

Exactly correct. The US is screwing this up majorly. Biden and the idiot neocon warmongers will cause a nuke to go off.

I’ve been alive awhile now. This is the most dangerous state we’ve ever been in. If someone sane doesn’t step in, we will be in a real war with Russia.

Blaming this all on Putin is both stupid and not reflecting reality. NATO, and the US, pushed Russia up against the wall. NATO has expanded 5 times (!) since the agreement with Russia to not expand. And now the idiots are publicly inviting 2 more countries on Russia’s border to join NATO.

This US foreign policy appears designed to ruin the US. For real. Insane inflation, food shortages, 30 trillion in debt, the dollar tanking and being shunned as reserve currency—which alone will bankrupt our country —continued deficit spending, record crime, and NOW is the time to start a war with the country with the most nukes?!?

Who’s running this shiite show???

Don’t underestimate this evil chomo president. He is 100% in charge. He took the baton from the evil Obama and is going to run the “fundamental transformation” to the finish line. Biden knows exactly what he is doing.

Why did they need intelligence to locate the Moskva. They couldn’t just look in the harbor and see it? Was it disguised as a sailing dingy?

It’s not particularly wise to play nuclear Russian Roulette with a dying man, but when dems are in power they seldom pay serious attention to anything but the acquisition of power and money for themselves. The last dem administration that gave a crap about foreign policy and national defense was FDR’s.

That’s what I’m wondering, too.

All of the resident neocons will diminish the risk because they want to proceed with war.

They love war as much as they hate America and Russia.

THIS particular war is their collective wet dream.

“Responsible media would not publish such info…”

The US is not a declared combatant.

And US citizens have a right to know what existential risks their government is taking in their name.

In 100 cases out of 100.

“it’s only a matter of time before they do”

Asymmetric. Russia cannot reasonably engage the US directly.
- Battlefield nukes in Ukraine
- Sabotage in NATO staging areas
- Sink a few NATO subs in the Med and Baltic

And continue up the escalation ladder until NATO is faced with the stark choice of backing off to live, or dying to prove a point.

“NATO will do exactly Jack sh1t about a low yield tacnuke taking out a port or factory district”

I’ve been saying this for weeks.

NATO will NOT respond militarily to tactical nukes in Ukraine. Except to withdraw.

European NATO will demand it.

We brutalized Vietnam for a decade to try to prevent the first domino from falling 10,000 miles away. Everyone is amazed that Russia reacts to the last of 32 to fall, all across their border, 300 miles from Moscow. I read this book fifty years ago and it scared hell out of me. I’ve never been as concerned as I am today.

I think I know now why Biden & his handlers are risking war with Russia.

Ukraine’s Zelensky knows all there is to know about the Biden’s corrupt dealings in Ukraine. Zelensky has threatened Biden to tell all unless Biden gives him the support he demands. Biden would rather risk war with Russia than go to jail.
