Biden Tries to Change the Conversation With Talk of War

 Kurt Schlichter has a piece at Townhall entitled A Biden Intervention In Ukraine Will Expose American Weakness. Of course, that is a problem. Our military is not prepared to go up against a real, serious power. It has become, since the Obama years, a woke joke. They couldn't even withdraw from Afganistan smartly. But, even worse is the gross hypocrisy, that while claiming it is SO important to defend Ukraine's territorial integrity, our own Southern border is wide open and undefended. We have sent troops to defend Ukraine's border, but we don't have any troops on our Southern border.

Just as our Democrat "friends" are betraying us with the endless pandemic, they are also betraying us by beating the war drums while not enforcing our Southern border. And the so called neo-cons are on the side of war, which makes it seem as if conservatives are all for it. We are not. But they are also playing a dangerous game throwing our military into harms way in support of a cause that doesn't have any relationship to vital American interests.  Any parents of service members out there?

Now all these questions deserve answers, but don’t look for any since none of the answers are good. And bad answers would slow the rush to war, so we can’t have them come out. Instead, the establishment is going back to the classics. If you ask what America’s vital interest is, you love Putin. If you ask what our military objectives would be, much less how we can rev up the combat power way over there to attain them, you love Putin. Yeah, it’s always a delight to be a vet of the Cold War being who is told he digs the Russians by a bunch of DC saps whose experience with the Bear is trying a Moscow Mule once, deciding it was icky, and asking for a white wine spritzer instead.

The Ukrainians are getting a raw deal, and I hope they drown their invaders in a river of blood. But it’s not our fight. And, if we did fight, there’s a significant chance we would lose. Then every two-bit tyrant on Earth will be coming for a piece of the helpless giant. We’re weak right now, folks, and the worst thing we can do is get up in front of everyone and prove it.

Seriously, go read Schlichter's piece. He has actual experience on the ground dealing with the Russians, and the effects of Russian infulence. The real problem is that the Democrats and the neo-cons don't work for you, and they don't even like you. We have to change that.
