Biden Leading Us To The Rubicon

I urge gentle readers to go to Matthew G. Andersson's analysis of the Biden administrations efforts toward war at the American Thinker entitled Why The White House Wants War and read it carefully. It is one of those pieces that are so dense, one can not take a lot of quotes, because the entire piece is quote worthy. Let me just quote the end:
An unsettling aspect of the Biden administration’s foreign policy is that, while it seeks war, it isn’t prepared to fight one (especially with a putative civilian commander qualified for 25th Amendment removal): it invites a confrontation with Russia (and to some extent with China) not to win, but in an unprecedented perversion of U.S. national security interests, to lose: it has declared America, Americanism, and a majority of Americans, as its enemy. It will use Russia as a tool for its own domestic “transformation” which means the attempted dismantling of U.S. constitutional law. The White House wants war, but an effective internal civil war that results in a reconstructed government, legal system, and political order. Biden was installed not just as an Obama proxy, but as a signal of weakness. To appreciate the risk, imagine Israel’s security interests headed by such a figure, rather than a Netanyahu.

Let all that sink in. This makes sense out of the confusing actions of the Biden administration. When Julius Caesar decided that the Roman Republic and Senate was not doing its job as he saw it, he took the fateful step of crossing the Rubicon River with his army, an act that was both illegal and unprecedented. Would he be allowed to get away with it or would there be civil war? We know how that turned out. According to Andersson, Biden is leading us toward a figurative Rubicon, daring us at every turn to stop him. Stop him we must.
