If that were the case why would he not defuse the situation? Because he is only hurting himself, otherwise.

No, he is running against Trump. The only thing that will stop him from running, is if he never out polls Trump. But by then the damage to himself will be done.

But we will see.

Red China would run over the Soviets in a land war. But the Soviets have a lot of nukes to use on Red China. Might even it out. The way Biden has given our weapons stockpiles away to every two-bit dictator and countries where we run away from, don’t know if we could be the Soviet Ruskies in a land war now!! The shape of our troops is bad. I have spoken to a couple of National Guard sergeants when I got gas on the post at Fort McClellan. They said that things were not as great as people think. I could read between the lines on what they said, but they didn’t give away any secrets. It is just the way their faces looked when they talked. I fear for our people if we had to tangle with the Red Chinese. Maybe the Navy is in a bit better shape since they have not been running around on the ground for 22 years in the middle east. The pilots got lots of on-the-job training during their bombing runs. I hope I am not fearing for nothing. I would wish that things were as good as 15-20 years before and not as empty war chest as we might since Ole Joe Biden has been giving billions in military hardware away as presents to anyone with a hand out. Jest sayin’.

“I gotta tell you people that are selling you this everything’s broke down in Russia”

Maybe I came across wrong, but I have literally EVERY OPERATIVE here ready to take my head off because I tell the truth about the Russian Military versus our pathetic post-Cold War, Drag-Queen Infested, military. They absolutely hate me, because they cannot silence me.

“DeSantis said the Biden administration should “identify what is the strategic objective that they’re trying to achieve” in Ukraine rather than giving Zelensky “an open-ended blank check.””

I support this comment 100%.

Are you sure you know how to “defuse the situation?” Sometimes the proper action is not obvious. Sometimes listening for a while is wisest.

That’s been my concern all this last year.

We are giving so many armaments to the Z-man but we are NOT MANUFACTURING replacements so we can be armed.
Just heard Biden is sending 100’s of tanks!

It will take from 5 to 18 YEARS to replentish the various tanks missiles stingers ammunition etc etc.

Long b4 we can get that done, China can invade and colonize the USA!

That’s their plan ya know.

35 Chinese are coming in at the RGV border section EVERY DAY!

And imagine how many gotaways???

ALL CHINESE here are subjugated to the #CCP and PLA❗️

Oh, and so is Joe Biden as a matter of fact.

I don’t think anyone knows

China has tonnes of bodies

But their military posture leans heavily defensive and interior oriented

It shouldn’t take this much gear to beat back Russia. Their doctrine is obsolete and ineffective, as is much of their gear, and what the US is giving ought to be on a lend-lease basis, as it was to Britain during WW II before Pearl Harbor. And besides, Z does not have to conquer all of Russia, just beat it back and hopefully get them out of Donbas and Crimea as a secondary objective.

As always, the Bidenistas take every real problem, such as Covid, inflation, or Ukraine, and exploit it, doing nothing to solve the problem except using it to increase their power. Right now, Putin is also licking his chops at Moldavia as well. At this rate, when China finally mixes it up with Taiwan, the US will be helpless. Probably the plan.

Over 200 million.

Biden’s plan is not in line with “America First”

Quite the opposite.

In other words, his plan is working quite (too) well.

Following in the footsteps of his mentor, B. Hussein Obama and his right hand man Suzy Rice.

Fundamentally transforming America.

I want the US to defend our borders instead of worrying about borders elsewhere on the planet.

Yeah, and I just got an email concerning him and the Fed handling our money:

Biden and the Fed are conspiring to replace the dollar starting this coming May 2023 — with their own controllable, traceable, programmable digital currency.

It’s legal thanks to Executive Order 14067 that Biden quietly signed into law.

I had read an article on line some time ago about when they go to transfer how many $$$ you have and what they are GOING TO GIVE you in EXCHANGE was like only 80%. So you got $10,000 in the bank, at the transfer you will only have $8,000. The BANKS get the $2,000!!!
