occupied and nothing has been done by the West other than some pro-forma sanctions it occurs to me that there really isn\u2019t anything keeping them out of the Baltics.\u00a0 Not a thing.\u00a0 Of course, that invites the question, what\u2019s keeping them out of Poland or Germany or France.\u00a0 Militarily, it\u2019s the same answer.\u00a0 In each case we only have the threat of nuclear war as a deterrence against Russian military attack and occupation.\u00a0 By allowing our armed forces to become an LGBTQ poster child instead of a fighting machine we\u2019ve put all our eggs in the nuclear war basket.\u00a0 And Russia will continue to test us to see where the tipping point is.\u00a0 Ukraine?\u00a0 Moldova?\u00a0 Estonia?\u00a0 Latvia?\u00a0 Lithuania?<\/p>\n<p>And once China sees this happening we can forget about Taiwan.\u00a0 And how about Korea?\u00a0 Right about now I\u2019m guessing Japan is starting to get a little nervous.\u00a0 All these dominoes were set in motion when the Left\u2019s world view was adopted by Americans.\u00a0 When you demonize America and its history and deny the difference between a man and a woman you throw away the basis for the deterrence of an army or even a nuclear stockpile.\u00a0 Would a woman like Kamala Harris or a feminist man like Joe Biden send troops against the Russians or launch nuclear weapons?\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing the Russians have decided the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of bad things are no longer unthinkable.\u00a0 Luckily for us the Russians want to sell Europe gas and China wants to sell us everything.\u00a0 So, they\u2019ll be satisfied to just take the stuff they want.\u00a0 They don\u2019t have to force us into a fight for our lives.\u00a0 It\u2019s sort of like the smash and grab attacks on expensive stores.\u00a0 If the sales staff stays out of the way and lets the thieves take what they want they won\u2019t get hurt.\u00a0 And what else can you do when you\u2019ve told the police they\u2019re evil.\u00a0 You\u2019ve thrown away your shield and have to submit to the thieves.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a happy situation we find ourselves in.\u00a0 But at least it lays bare the reality of a feminized West.\u00a0 Without men in charge of the military and foreign policy, non-feminized countries will be free to exert military force as they see fit.\u00a0 Our safety culture will direct us to take the less dangerous option of hectoring the enemy like a global Karen telling Moscow or Beijing to stop what they\u2019re doing or we\u2019ll tell the UN on them.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe I\u2019m wrong.\u00a0 Maybe Dementia Joe will stand up on his two feet and take Vladimir Putin behind the barn and lay the smackdown on him.\u00a0 Maybe he\u2019ll send our tranny brigade against the Russian army.\u00a0 Size fifteen stiletto heels marching in unison to victory.\u00a0 The good and bad news is that Biden is responsible and he\u2019ll have to figure this out.\u00a0 The good news is he\u2019ll take the blame. \u00a0The bad news is we\u2019ll have to suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cO brave new world, that has such people in
