Warmonger Joe ups the game again in Ukraine

Warmonger Joe is doing it again, OKing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to use ATACMS in long-range use. 

Semafor doesn't even cite anonymous Nat-Sec Nutsacks™ in poo-poohing Russian President Vladimir Putin's concerns — it just does so, in clear editorializing. (The NYT, at the first link, at least has that fig leaf, and it also notes specific possible responses by Putin.) Nor does it call bullshit on Zelenskyy's offer to replace US troops in Europe with Ukrainian ones. (I'll bet other MSM have also been letting that one fly.) Anybody who's seen Ukrainian draft-dodging and the violence when Ukrainian draft officers land a fish know how that would turn out.

US/NATO/Nat-Sec Nutsack Axis wants to fight PAST the last Ukrainian?

John Helmer reports that with the failure of Ukraine's vaunted counteroffensive, it's doubling down instead on a new PR counteroffensive. He adds that polling inside Russia shows growing support for Putin, despite the wishful thinking of the US-NATO/Nat-sec Nutsack axis, and growing acceptance the war could continue into 2024.

BUT, contra what Helmer and others of us had been led to believe? The Axis apparently is going to ignore its previous end-of-year deadline for Ukraine and is already looking at next year's fight, specifically a spring offensive, because this year's "vaunted Ukrainian counteroffensive" went so damned well. That said, with good info that Zelensky is over 100,000 casualties, where are the warm bodies coming from? I've already, with both hashtags, asked the #NAFOFellas aka #NAFONazis if any of them is leaving the Fighting 101st Keyboarders and going to the actual front lines.

Sadly, from the non-duopoly POV, both the #BlueMAGA and #MAGA parties, outside the House Freedom Fries Caucus, will continue to support this nuttery. Just like Afghanistan. Just like Iraq. Just like Vietnam. And, I'm sure that within #BlueAnon, the Progressive Cuck-us, minus perhaps part of the Fraud Squad, will continue to sign off, too.

Russia-Ukraine Week 23: Biden doesn't want diplomacy

In my previous blog post about the invasion and war, I noted that a majority of Americans want diplomacy.  Almost 60 percent, even if it does NOT mean the status quo ante bellum for Ukraine.

But, Warmonger Joe, aka Inflationmonger Joe, doesn't.

Proof is in the pudding, both past and present.

Pudding past? The US kneecapped pre-war negotiations, either two-party between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, or four-party, with Germany and France, led by then Chancellor Merkel and President Macron, the same two nations that brokered the Minsk II agreements broken by both Russia and Ukraine (despite Zelenskyy's claims as part of the so-called "Normandy Four" countries) that he supported Minsk (albeit saying he supported it with tweaks). And, that kneecapping continued into the early weeks of the war.

Pudding present? Warmonger Joe sending the famous Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne to Europe for the first time since WWII.

Who could blame Putin for later telling Macron he "wanted to go play ice hockey" rather than talking to Biden?

And, with that, once again "fuck you very much" to the cowardly groveling by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, from Chairwoman Primala Jayapal through the 30 members who signed the letter calling for negotiations, including Ilhan Omar, AOC and other members of The Fraud, er The Squad, and down to the 70 who refused to sign it in the first place.

As I said there?

You just surrendered your leverage, per your groveling response of saying you're going to vote for all new expenditures, or, per a sex-neutral upgrade of a famous LBJ saying?

You just put your gonads in Biden's pocket.

There you go.
