We got tips from more than one of y’all that the five-sided puzzle palace has put 8,500 troops on alert over fears that Russia will (again) invade Ukraine. The last time they did it, Biden was Vice President and the point man on US-Ukraine relations. While he was soft as an overcooked noodle on Russia, Biden was pretty heavy handed on Ukraine, to the benefit of his idiot coke-fueled son Hunter. I can’t imagine why Putin feels emboldened to take more of Ukraine’s territory again.<\/p>\n

In the last few days, the US has started to pull people from our embassy in Ukraine<\/a>. Which is always a great sign, right? Biden basically said that Putin can invade Ukraine. Well, he specifically said he’d be OK with a “minor incursion.<\/a>” Which isn’t surprising, since Biden was fine with Russia’s last “minor incursion” of Ukrainian territory.<\/p>\n

Word is the USS Truman carrier battle group is deploying to the Med<\/a>. We have two carrier battle groups in the South China Sea<\/a>, as China continues to test Taiwanese air defenses. On USS Carl Vinson, one of those deployed carriers, just today an F-35C (the Navy variant of the Joint Strike Fighter) crashed. Early word is the pilot ejected, but 7 sailors were injured.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

And now we’re putting troops on heightened readiness<\/a>. Good thing we haven’t been stressing their capacity for extended operations by constantly employing them in domestic operations and discharging those who don’t want the experimental vaccines. At least our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has studied up on “white rage” the last year. Here’s hoping the relationship he fostered with his Chinese counterpart (when he told him that he’d call and warn him of any potential attack on China from the US as a heads up) will be reciprocated when\/if China makes a move.<\/p>\n

I foresee a weak-kneed response to a Russian “minor incursion” into the largely ethnically Russian eastern part of Ukraine. We’ll put some symbolic but largely pointless sanctions on Putin and his inner circle, but the little green men will occupy the sudetenland<\/del> ethnically Russian area. Meanwhile, China’s lebensraum operation into Taiwan (which Biden has similarly voiced whimpering support for defending) could simultaneously create a “minor incursion” there too. Appeasement is always<\/em> an option, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
