#1 BIDEN STUMBLES TOWARD WAR / Russians Move On U.S. Submarine
from Sam Faddis's substack
3pm 12 Feb. 2022

For weeks now the Biden administration, hopelessly compromised and looking at political annihilation in the coming midterm elections, has flirted with disaster. Desperate to regain credibility and to counter the obvious impotence of the man in the White House, Joe’s mandarins have made all sorts of vaguely threatening pronouncements regarding Ukraine and shoved forward a wide range of U.S. military assets into Eastern Europe.

The obvious danger of stumbling into war has been disregarded. Men who have never heard a shot fired in anger, never put their lives on the line, and have no earthly idea what strategy they are pursuing have put the whole world in danger. We may be about to pay the price for that incompetence.

#2 Reagan was supposed to start WW III. Then Trump was supposed to. Now along comes Joe, who campaigned on "return to normalcy." Seems like irony overload, if you ask me.

#5 Re #2: we didn't know how good we had it under OrangeMan. Putin was restrained, the Chinese were on the back foot, the Gulf Arabs and Israel not only made peace but created a de facto alliance against Iran, and we were finally beginning ning to enforce our border.

Oh and unemployment was at an all time low and working class disposable income was higher than it has ever been.

Damn those bastards who stole that election. To hell.
