Half Empty, I Guess

And there it is. The boiler plate plea for support, the rationale that supporting Israel and Ukraine is vital to our national interest.

Joe Biden is too old to be dealing with all this.

Anyway, here comes the slippery slope involvement on two fronts. Billion$ in all sorts of aid, mostly military, and the seemingly inevitable march into a larger conflagration. That’s what’s behind Biden’s appeal to us to be OK with sending all this aid—it’s a way for him to start the conversation about an even deeper commitment, involving, yet again, the willingness—the duty—to offer up the ultimate sacrifice in the name of democracy and liberty and all that’s right and proper.

That’s the end game. Again! Because humanity tends to ignore history and is still not far enough removed from first walking upright, and a relative handful of inept and selfish fossils who call themselves leaders live only to manipulate and control their own destinies at the expense of a populace they feel is expendable, far less worthy than their exalted selves.

The citizens of earth should rise up in righteous anger and offer an emphatic middle finger to such faithless, cold-hearted capitulation.
