Sen. Lindsey Graham suggests Biden bomb Iran in response to Israel strike
This provocation comes amid an increasingly volatile atmosphere under the Biden-Harris administration’s lack of strong diplomatic and military oversight in the region.
Yesterday, the United States, Japan, South Korea, France and Britain held massive joint military drills near Taiwan. Then, China responded with its own record-setting drills, completely encircling the island nation with China’s Coast Guard, and buzzing it with fighter jets launched from China’s first production aircraft carrier. ...
Beyond describing the military schlong measuring, the article unintentionally confessed an ugly truth. Neocon China hawks often argue China would be easy to beat since it hasn’t “practiced war” since Vietnam. (You could also say China has remained peaceful for the last 50 years, but nobody wants to hear that.) In making that overly simplistic point, the formerly peace-loving Times grotesquely bragged how the United States has honed its warmaking skills over decades of continuous war:
"China is still trying to teach its army, navy, air force and other
military branches to coordinate better. That is a skill militaries like
that of the United States have honed over *decades of continuous
war*, whereas the Chinese People's Liberation Army has not fought
a battle since its brief conflict with Vietnam 45 years ago."
While continuous war might be great for military-industrial complex shareholders, for everybody else, continuous war is noisy, expensive, and every now and then somebody actually gets killed. Continuous war is kind of exactly what we were hoping to avoid.
That’s why we need President Trump!
Trump’s foreign policy is based on competing with other countries economically rather than kinetically. Trump is confident he can outwit, outmarket, and outsell other countries, without anybody having to die or even get mangled in a drone strike.
This kind of competition is out of the left’s reach. Democrats and generals are cowards; they are scared they can’t compete on a fair economic table, so they wield the bully clubs of American military and economic sanctions trying to tilt the scales in our favor.
The very same people whining about Trump’s straightforward proposals for temporary tariffs never saw a sanctions package they didn’t love. This is a terrific example of the structural problem when deep-state bureaucrats pull the levers of power behind the scenes. On the one hand, the deep-staters are over-emboldened by their lack of accountability, which makes them too aggressive when they should be diplomatic. But they are also fundamentally cowards, constantly fearing exposure, so they are also too passive when they should be forceful.
Deep-state bureaucrats experience constant anxiety over professional ‘death,’ which is being thrust into the political spotlight like Fauci and thus rendered useless to the rest of the blob. This results in obsessive secrecy, where it seems like the government classifies almost everything it does.
In other words, we aren’t being told a tenth of what is really going on in the Pacific theater. (Where did the mystery drones flying over US airbases come from?) If China does plan to invade Taiwan anytime soon, the best time might be proximate to the U.S. elections, either just before or just after, especially if a close election is contested resulting in a difficult period when it isn’t clear who’ll be in charge.
Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, and the election will not even be close.
In September 2022, after announcing the annexation of four Ukrainian regions he did not control, and with his troops suffering heavy losses on the battlefield, Putin rattled his nuclear sabre again. This time, he vowed that Moscow would “certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us” if Russia’s territorial integrity, which presumably included the newly “annexed” regions, was threatened. For extra emphasis, he added: “This is not a bluff.”
This turned out to be a bluff.

What are you talking about?
1. Those four Ukrainian regions are now part of Russia.
2. Ukraine suffered a massive humiliating defeat
3. The Ukraine military front has collapsed and
4. Ukrainian army units are surrendering to the Russians en masse.

Zelensky Stuns Allies by Demanding Either NATO Membership or Nuclear Weapons

We’re fortunate that Putin isn’t such a hothead as the neocons in this country. And that Trump has been elected. May Jewish ethnic animus against eastern Slavs never again direct our foreign policy. It’s been disastrous for Ukrainians, to some extent Russians, and for our own national debt.

Khazarian Mafia. Jews are their sacrificial slave entity and their cloaking shield. Many religious Jews are not on board with the schemes.

The deep state would rather take us all down in a nuclear holocaust than take the just punishments they deserve, which, incidentally, is death by hanging for traitors.

I totally agree with one exception; the Deep State elite will be in their highly protective bunkers, sequestered deep into various mountain ranges, long before the nukes are radiating us en masse. Perhaps that's the plan? With the unbelievable advances in AI, they no longer are dependent upon large numbers of slaver laborers that are needed to provide for their every need.
How about some predictions?
What do you think Putin's response will be if Ukraine actually uses USA missiles to attack deep inside Russia? Will it be a harsh verbal rebuke or will he take military action against the supplying nations of such weapons as he has promised to do in the past?
Nothing will happen - just like the rest of Putin's red lines. Loads of Russian weapons and trainers were used to kill US military in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and the US never threatened WWIII.

"President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday suspended Russian participation in the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty with the United States, warning Washington that Russia had put new ground-based strategic nuclear weapons on combat duty," Reuters reports of the new declaration.
