The War Is Getting More Dangerous for America, and Biden Knows It

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.

Biden only knows what he is told and forgets about it with excitment over his next Snack Pak. The Obama admin is behind it all and they think they know what they are doing, but they don’t and really don’t care. Their foul agenda comes before all.

(I’ve never been as concerned as I am today.)

I’m right there with you. The Global Reset folks can see the handwriting on the wall.

If a national debt of 30.4 trillion dollars will never be solved, then 169 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities is more than 5.5x worse.

And that’s where we are today. Debt that is beyond impossible.

That’s almost 200 trillion dollars 💵💵💵 right there. And growing.

I think maybe a few of the Woke are really starting to awaken to the implications of what actually can happen with provoking Russia

What’s newsworthy to me here is that the NYT published it and Friedman wrote it. We’re left to speculate about the motivations.

My attitude: if it's in the NY Times it's a lie.

Thank you. Joe doesn’t know his own name.

Yep, he’s a walking disaster...

I have noticed that with the Putinists, there is a weird tendency to mix in homoerotic metaphors. At a certain point it went beyond a convenient turn of phrase into bizarre overuse.

It is starting to get worrisome. Like FR has been invaded by a gay Putin love cult.

Pro-KGB Russian and pro-PRC traitors will say any lies to themselves and others to hide their treason

For starters, the longer this war goes on, the more opportunity for catastrophic miscalculations ...

There's never a good time to believe the Times - but sometimes the blind squirrel gets the nut. I'm not a Friedman fan - but the above is a point several freepers have made...

It’s the anti American Ukraine uber alles neocons that are enemies of the American people.
