Why is the USA so into resolving issues with "Shock and Awe" rather than diplomacy. 1.14 trillion od ouw budget feeds the war machine (62%). 38% for other stuff: housing 7%,health 6%, environment & energy 5%, education 5%, transportation 4%, int'n affairs 3%, ...you get the drift. We love war it's our #1 product: killing others that disagree with the neocons.
The bodies of Israeli women are not a weapon of War.! The bodies of Palestinian children are not a weapon of War.! Never, anywhere, on our planet is War a solution...!
Yesterday President Biden warned all Americans that they'd better send billions more dollars to Ukraine, or the US will have to send US soldiers to die in Ukraine.
And furthermore, he said that we can't let Putin "win" in the Ukraine!
He warns that Putin will then invade Europe and the US's NATO allies.
And then of course, the US will have to send US soldiers to die in Europe. He actually said that!
And Admiral John Kirby, the Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House, backed Genocide Joe up! Nikki Haley is on board as well! GMAFB!
Yes, Dennis, isn't it amazing how Biden and the DC blob assured us a few short months ago, "Putin has already lost the war." What went wrong? Were we lied to!? Surely, not.
Too bad Biden doesn't have to explain what good weapons will do for an army being killed off faster than they can be reinforced--and then with 17-70 year olds with almost no training. (None I suspect for all practical purposes.) A real strategy for victory there. I hope for the dying's sake, Ukraine surrenders pronto.
Meanwhile I join the growing chorus....
"Biden, Biden, you can't hide! We charge you with genocide!”
The empire is failing & flailing badly. The sooner it goes the way of all empires, the better for the people of the planet. Thank you for your good work!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! We all needed that, and it is beautifully said. I'll forward it to many, and I hope your other readers will too, because we need to get this view out there a ll across America. We get bits and pieces of it, but rarely is it all put together. Our MSM will not say this. No commenter, or reporter in our MSM on either side - Republican or Democrat - will say all of this and it so badly needs to be said. This is why, from my point of view, both Biden and Trump are equally awful. The Dems want to say that Trump will destroy our Democracy and the Republicans want to say that Biden will; the truth is that if we elect either one we will see the end of our so-called democracy, and possibly the planet. We truly need a candidate and a program who will put peace and rational thinking to work in our foreign and domestic policies.
US Defense Sec. Loyd Austin (on the Board of Raytheon) openly threatens Americans over Ukraine.
Send $$$ or "We'll sent your kids to fight".
Lloyd Austin - if that maniac Nazi Putin wins in Ukraine, he will go further and will try to occupy Baltic states and that will result in the war against Russia using NATO troops.
Better stop Putin in Ukraine and "save American lives". Oh dear!
Who is WE eh?
Is the biggest threat to the US its own Army? Is he telling Congress that he'll send American kids to a war that can only be declared by Congress?
EDIT: Watching Al Jazeera as I peck away here in the middle of the night down under. Hamas Military just announced that Israeli bombing has killed some of their Israeli soldier hostages! It's all going to shit eh!
America can never become an example “for liberty and justice” for anyone around the world. The USA’s historical DNA/RNA always was violence coded.

George Carlin. "We like war. We are a warlike people! We are good at it. You know why? Because we get lots of practice."
"We can bomb the shit outa your country".

Brilliant. Thank you for your superior service then and now.

“Hey hey! Ho ho! Genocide Joe has got to go!"
Yep, so true my friend.
Biden did not say anything about the US being $33-trillion in debt when he suggested America should send billions more dollars to Ukraine! 😩👎👎
