I\u2019ve got nothing to write about tonight.\u00a0 I was on a long errand today and it kept me from looking around or thinking much.\u00a0 About the only thing I did do was read some of the war headlines.\u00a0 The Russians continue their slow relentless pummeling of Ukraine.\u00a0 Currently they\u2019ve cut off the southeastern city of Vuhledar (or Ugledar to the Russians.\u00a0 These Slavic languages are challenging for a poor Westerner).\u00a0 And after pounding it with artillery until it looks like the dark side of the Moon, they\u2019ve offered the 1,500 defenders a window of opportunity to surrender.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainians (or the Americans) have destroyed several very large ammunition bunkers that were very deep into Russian territory with advanced long-range missile technology.\u00a0 The story is that the missiles came from the Baltic states.\u00a0 Russia responded by saying if they are attacked by advanced NATO technology they will respond with up to and including nuclear weapons to even the score.<\/p>\n
And today the Israelis pounded the underground headquarters of Hezbollah trying to kill Nasrallah their leader.\u00a0 It\u2019s probable that Hezbollah and Iran are weighing their options for retaliation.\u00a0 Some people are saying that Israel is deliberately attempting to provoke Iran into a major attack to draw the United States into a larger war.<\/p>\n
Well, where does that leave us?\u00a0 Is Biden (or whoever actually calls the shots) trying to start a war with Russia and\/or Iran?\u00a0 Are some factions in the government (CIA?\u00a0 State Department?)\u00a0 trying to start WW III?\u00a0 Are other groups (the Pentagon?) trying to prevent it?\u00a0 Is this wag the dog for the election or is this really start a war for the election?\u00a0 I have to confess I can\u2019t figure it out.<\/p>\n
Obviously, I\u2019m interested, but for the life of me I can\u2019t figure out if this helps Harris or Trump.\u00a0 All I do know is that there is a more than negligible chance that they will trigger at least a limited nuclear exchange.\u00a0 Now how crazy is that.\u00a0 After avoiding nuclear war for eighty years when madmen like Stalin and Mao had their hands on the trigger, we\u2019ll be shepherded into nuclear Armageddon by Dementia Joe Biden and Kamala \u201cCackles\u201d Harris in order to try and make the country forget just how badly they\u2019ve run the country for the last four years.\u00a0 It just seems like a terrible joke to play on a country that used to be somewhat sensible and well-run.\u00a0 The Democrats always claimed that a psychotic Republican, like they pretended Nixon and Reagan and Trump were, would be the one who goaded the Russians into a nuclear exchange because of \u201ccowboy\u201d military posturing.\u00a0 Instead, the neocons in the State Department pushing their color revolution template into Ukraine seem to have crossed a line in the sand that even a moderate like Putin couldn\u2019t ignore.<\/p>\n
Well, what can you do?\u00a0 All these things are in the hands of the Democrats for at least the next four months and if they imagine that brinksmanship is to their advantage then brinksmanship it will be.\u00a0 I just didn\u2019t have anything else to think about tonight so I thought about this.<\/p>\n
Kamala Harris with the nuclear football.\u00a0 Might as well hand it over to the guy who cuts the lawn.\u00a0 If he can survive operating power tools, he\u2019s gotta be smarter than her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
