Oh, I have total confidence in our demented feeble corrupt President.
Four years of no new wars under Trump...

The Causes and Consequences of the Ukraine Crisis
The war in Ukraine is a multi-dimensional disaster, which is likely to get much worse in the foreseeable future.
by John J. Mearsheimer / June 23
[This speech was given at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence on Thursday, June 16.]
[This transcribed speech will be considered one of the most important treatises on the Russo-Ukraine war in coming years and decades. Every statement will be studied and debated. I urge folks on all sides to read it in its entirety. I’m only posting the concluding paragraphs here due to space and brevity considerations.]

Conclusion:
Simply put, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is a colossal disaster, which as I noted at the start of my talk, will lead people all around the world to search for its causes. Those who believe in facts and logic will quickly discover that the United States and its allies are mainly responsible for this train wreck. The April 2008 decision to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO was destined to lead to conflict with Russia.
The Bush administration was the principal architect of that fateful choice, but the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations have doubled down on that policy at every turn and America’s allies have dutifully followed Washington’s lead. Even though Russian leaders made it perfectly clear that bringing Ukraine into NATO would be crossing “the brightest of red lines,” the United States refused to accommodate Russia’s deepest security concerns and instead moved relentlessly to make Ukraine a Western bulwark on Russia’s border.
The tragic truth is that if the West had not pursued NATO expansion into Ukraine, it is unlikely there would be a war in Ukraine today and Crimea would still be part of Ukraine. In essence, Washington played the central role in leading Ukraine down the path to destruction. History will judge the United States and its allies harshly for their remarkably foolish policy on Ukraine. Thank you.

Looks like stolen elections have consequences...
The NOW has ordered their lackeys in DC to initiate and number of mechanisms to finish off the US, so no food, no fuel and total and complete immobility of the US citizens and WW3 is their plan and clearly they are acting on it.
Not preparing while Russia is fighting a hot war in Ukraine, and threatening NATO countries and London, etc,
Would be the absolute height of irresponsibility.
Putin can’t die quick enough.

The military is facing its most severe staffing crisis since the advent of the all-volunteer force in 1973.
Amid the first conventional war in Europe since 1945 and China’s massive military buildup — including nuclear weapons — the U.S. military is experiencing a dangerous drop in its warfighting capability. The U.S. Army, the largest service, has only reached 40 percent of its recruiting goal with just more than three months remaining in the fiscal year.
As a result of its massive recruiting shortfalls, the U.S. Army has lowered its standards, dropping requirements for recruits to have a high school diploma or GED to enlist, while relaxing tattoo restrictions to allow tattoos on hands and neck without a waiver. These two decisions will result in a less capable force with troublesome discipline issues. The Army is even offering enlistment contracts as short as two years — barely enough time to learn the basics of modern warfare.
The DoD is even reviewing more than 250 disqualifications for service, such as asthma and ADHD. With only 23 percent of Americans ages 17-24 qualified to serve in uniform without a waiver and just 9 percent of those eligible to serve even interested — the lowest since the Iraq War troop surge in 2007 — something has to give, with some experts suggesting that a draft might be needed again. Fears over not being able to meet uniformed staffing levels might have informed the seven Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee who voted to require women to register for a military draft in June.
Biden’s defense officials may hope money solves the problem, but they’d be better advised to look in the mirror instead. When you openly accuse the military of being rightwing and harboring white supremacists, insist on schooling them in transgender pronoun usage, and then force them to get vaccinated for a Covid-19 virus that’s less threatening than the flu for the young and healthy military demographic, you shouldn’t be shocked that they don’t want to enlist under a leadership they neither trust nor admire.
This is going to go bad and get hot, faster than most realize.
Link to above Federals article on U.S. military recruiting disaster:
My nephew is in the 101st, he’s a 1st LT. soon to be a Captain according to my brother they have been preparing for some months now and were told recently they would be in Poland before the end of the year.
What happens when 6 Destroyers meet 30 hypersonic missiles?
Hmmm.
Didn't Biden tell our troops in Poland they would soon be in Ukraine?
“Putin can’t die quick enough.”
What about your hero, Biden?
very scary stuff. This move makes me think that as things stand they do not think they can cheat enough to hold the House. These bastards will drag us into WW3 to keep the power.
I think this is fake news because I don’t think Beijing Biden has the Cajones
unless he thinks this is the only way he can pump his poll numbers.
