Biden isn't the first leader to start a war to distract from falling poll numbers

 So much news that deserves commentary.  There is the so called pandemic, which has always been a pseudo-event,  That fact is becoming obvious even to some Democrats like the Governor of Colorado.  There is the on going speculation that the Supremes will cave and find the Mississipi abortion law unconstitutional.  And what is going on in the Ghislaine Maxwell case?  Why no reporting on that trial?  Or what about the inflation that is impoverishing America's middle class?  Most of those impoverished earned their money by working hard 40-50 hours a week, unlike the Biden family who made their millions through...other means.

Oh, and the Democrats are still holding people that have been charged with such dangerous terroristic things as trespassing in jail under horrendous conditions.  When Russia does that we call them political prisoners.  Does that make the Democrats as bad as the Russians?  

But what I find even more urgent, from an existential threat perspective, is the growing call for the United States to go to war to stop Russia from invading Ukraine.  Like Tucker Carlson and Kurt Schlichter, I think it is important to Tell the Establishment 'No Intervention in Ukraine.' I can see no American interests being threatened in the Ukraine. More to the point, shouldn't those proposing that we go to war with Russia tell us just how many dead kids they think Ukraine is worth?

I’m at a loss as to the concrete American objective in Ukraine. When you ask the question – or the reasonable follow-up of, “Fine, and how many Americans dead or maimed is achieving that objective worth to you?” – the best you get is a blank stare. Usually, you get told you love Putin, as if protecting American lives from being wasted on another impulsive crusade is playing into his bloodstained hands. But we must break this cycle of tragic failure by asking these questions, and demanding the answers.

These questions are not unfair or unreasonable, and they are certainly not unpatriotic. But the Beltway brigadiers sure get huffy when you dare pose them. And they positively freak out when you suggest that if America is going to commit itself to the defense of another country that we should go through the process of declaring war to do so. But declaring war means having a debate, and the last thing they want is a debate because, as we all know, there is no critical American objective to be achieved by sending our forces to fight Russia over this border dispute.

Of course the hypocrisy of defending Ukraines border but not defending our own is mind blowing. And by no means is it certain we could win this intervention, what with the current incompetence of our military and their political leaders.  But realize that Biden wouldn't be the first leader to start a war to distract from falling poll numbers.
