Colors of Blue and Gold

The state armed US propaganda media machine is in hyper drive this week to criticize the Russian elections.  The election is "rigged."  The irony abounds.  And, of course, at least Russia is having an election. Ukraine, which the propaganda machine tells us is a bastion of democracy, has suspended its election.   Unreal.  The media does not report this.  Meanwhile Dems are raging and trying to interfere with Israel to force an end to that conflict.  At the same time, they are frantic to fund the endless war in Ukraine.  I wonder why?  Old Joe certainly spent a lot of time in Ukraine as VP including an apparently meaningless trip there during his last days as VP.   What is his fascination with that country?  Ask Dirty Hunter.

The average age of the Ukranian front line solder is 43!  Zelensky just recently lowered the draft age.  Over a million men of draft eligible age have fled the country.  It sounds like the final days of WWII with the Germans using the Volkssturm.  Not a great sign.  Old Joe is not concerned with finding a way to end this war.   He only wants Israel to stand down because that war is hurting his poll numbers.  He is promising "consequences" against Israel.  But Trump, with his Jewish daughter and grandchildren and strong support of Israel, is the antisemite according to our completely unbiased press.

In what is probably the least surprising move in politics, the republican establishment is once again caving to the Dems to send more billions to Ukraine.  To extend an increasingly futile war instead of pressuring Ukraine to settle this conflict.  In so doing, the US is simply increasing the harm done to the people of Ukraine.   Why?  Does the US have an interest or deep association with Ukraine?  No.  Is Ukraine a bastion of democracy?  No, in fact Zelensky, unlike Putin, canceled the recent election.   It's all about the ability of politicians to allocate countless billions to specific military contractors.  An enormous source of power and influence for them.  That money returns to their campaigns and relatives in a vicious cycle of pay for play.  Or in this case war.  This is yet another example of why the republicans will most likely lose the 2024 election.

Another $60 billion for Ukraine!  Where have all those pro-Ukraine posters gone who told us two years ago that there was no stalemate, and the cost would not be great.  The war rages on and on with no change except more deaths, destruction, and countless billions spent.  What is the plan to end it?  Incredibly, there still doesn't appear to be any or even a process for devising one.  The situation has gotten worse each day for the people of Ukraine.  They are a pawn in Old Joe's endless war supported by republican warmongers and Trump hating Dems for their own political purposes.

So Old Joe sent Ukraine long range missiles "secretly."  Is that how a democracy works?  And he has now crossed every red line that he originally laid down for assisting Ukraine.  Tanks, jets, long-range missiles, and cluster bombs.  All weapons that the Big Guy once indicated he would not send to Ukraine for fear of escalating the conflict.  What's left?  Ground troops.
