Are the Democrats planning a conflict with Russia before November's shellacking?

President Eisenhower, in his final address to the nation, uttered words that will remain relevant for ages.

The following is a key excerpt from that speech:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist.

VIDEO

The military-industrial complex that Eisenhower was referring to is the nefarious alliance among governments, arms manufacturers, arms dealers, and mercenaries.

This is a coalition that profiteers from wars and hence uses its powers to compel governments to enter optional conflicts. The fact that the lives of civilians and armed personnel are lost and trillions of taxpayer dollars are wasted hardly matters to them.

This is a symbiotic relationship.

The arms dealer or defense contractor donates to the politician and perhaps promises them lucrative jobs after their retirement from politics.

Democrats will do anything they perceive gives them an advantage.

Typical Liberal. Make a mess for someone else to clean up and complain about the clean up process.

Somebody really wants a war with Russia, and they don’t care if it goes nuclear. But then, no one seems to care. We have completely lost the ability to envision the consequences of a nuclear war.

Yes a limited nuclear war is coming, Putin knows Biden will not do anything or if he does it will be screwed up and ineffective. I would not be surprised if Putin takes out a few East Coast cities mostly Blue then Biden will cry uncle and surrender....

Democrats need a major distraction from their abject failures on every level conceivable.

Thus, entering a war and having riots in the streets seem like likely occurrences to help distract people.

I am certain they will try to do this. Clinton did it in Bosnia when he was in trouble with Monicagate, and the Brandon claque will do it now if they can.

The MSM-Democrats are willing to do anything to hold on to power, literally anything. They have convinced themselves that the future of humanity depends on their continued dominance of the power game, and they therefore believe that any action is justified to hold on to the status quo.

Malignant narcissism on a cultural scale.

We’ll know which city the Dems plan for Russia to nuke when Dems from that area suddenly leave for some urgent reason.

Starting a war with Russia would be a political disaster for democrats, with two exceptions.
1) They somehow manage to “win” ourtright, without significant loss of American lives
2) They take control of the elections using emergency powers.

The second part seems like a more likely motivation, but still too risky.

Then there is also this:

3) They think it will be all over if they lose and are willing to see the whole thing burn if they can’t have control

Well, in today’s world we need to include, in the above nefarious alliance, one-world government globalists.

They have been building the anti-Russia hype for many years, particularly against Trump

But Covid was the cover used to steal and election.

This time it will be war with Russia

Well, they had the drive to release the virus to get rid of Trump, so everything that is birthed from that, they’re certainly not going to back down from.

Hold onto your hat.

"Are the Democrats planning a conflict with Russia before November's shellacking?"

Desperate Democrats are undoubtedly deliberately screwing thing up (again) before 2022 elections so that they can blame their sabotage on new, Trump-endorsed federal and state lawmakers for 2024 elections.

Russia can always end this war and go home in peace.
