SCOTT RITTER: The Fantasy of Fanaticism

June 25, 2022

Despite what some “defense analysts” may be telling Western media, the longer the war continues, the more Ukrainians will die and the weaker NATO will become.

[well worth reading at the link. even bitter reality is always preferable to sweet fantasy.]

Put Russias finger on the nuke trigger even closer. You’ll get your wish. Any peace talks. Think of deescalating the situation? Nah, I didn’t think so. There’s money to be made in war. More lives to be sacrificed to Mother Gaia and Climate Change gods.

Go against the deep state narrative, this is what happens.

Ask Donald “Russian Collusion” Trump or General Flynn etc.

The EU nations in NATO promise a lot a things they never do. This is just another one. Germany said they would increase their defense spending to 2% of GDP at war’s outset. Only took then 3 weeks to say it’s not gonna happen. Germany also promised all kinds of military aid to Ukraine at the outset. That promise ended a week later after Russia threatened to turn off the gas spigots to them. Time to exercise a little tough love for the US to stop all the heavy lifting for a war in which we have no vital national security interest and let these bumbling lazy cowards in the EU who do have a vital national security interest face the regional threat of Russia on their own. Sometimes you have to throw the baby in the pool to teach it to swim.

It’s a massive increase, and one that will be fully paid for by Biden.
