We live in a world created in 1945. The United States is the world’s dominant political, economic, and military power. We treat those facts as if they are somehow immutable. They are not. We are standing on the brink of losing it all. The Biden administration continues to blunder forward with its reckless policy of escalation in Ukraine treating the entire enterprise as if it were a video game of some sort. There are in the minds of these men and women no consequences for their actions. Only the other side takes losses. Only the other side feels pain.
Great article today! I feel about this the way I felt the day after 9/11. Why in the eff is our military not on the edge of their seats, leaning into discovering and countering any threats to us our our infrastructure? I'll never forget reading about that brave female F16 pilot who went up with out weapons, prepared to ram a plane if necessary. Turns our our flipping 'ready fighters' have no ammunition in their guns or missiles on their pods. Same here. Why are we not aggressively defending this key infrastructure? What the hell are we paying 1 trillion USD a year for (when you roll in all natsec/defense/intel spend, it's that much) if not to have massive protection of everything we care about? What animates our leaders these days? It seems the idea of protecting us is way down the list from foreign interventionism.
Anyone with half a brain senses that something is amiss. I don't know what it is for sure, I'm torn between the points that this administration hates America so much that it has provoked our enemies to the point of coming in for the kill, or they have lived in the shadow of the few great patriotic leaders we have had and think they can do the job but better. As the late great Rush Limbaugh used to admonish: "Don't try this at home folks".
I do know we have earned the wrath of God through our departure from His laws. He has babied us enough, time to pay the piper.
