Who does it benefit to authorize Ukraine to launch ATACMS into Russia with 60 days until Trump takes office?
Government contractors and the MIC (military industrial complex).
Who does it put at risk?
The entire world, but more proximately, all of Europe.
The idea that this authorization will do anything to increase Ukraine’s chances of “winning” the war is as inane as trying to sucker punch a grizzly bear (I chose this metaphor thoughtfully).
Unless the next step is to attach something more substantial to these missiles. Which would not surprise me given the brazenness and bloodlust of the war whores in charge.
The authorization is not strategic. It is symbolic. It is deliberate antagonism.
Yesterday, my thought was that all we could do is hope to rely on the better judgment of Zelensky not to follow through.
That was wrong. He too is that brazen, corrupt, and above all else, desperate.
Now, all we can do is hope that Putin has the patience and restraint to wait 60 days until the adults get back in charge.
Understand that we are governed by corrupt monsters who will stop at nothing.
These are evil people. In the truest biblical sense.
Incidentally, Mike Benz had a theory about the authorization. I saw a clip floating around on Twitter that I can’t seem to relocate. If anybody can find that, I would greatly appreciate it!
Funny thing is coming into our hotel, I pointed at the mountain and told the others we’d have to take the trolley up. Started off on what was supposed to be a 1.1 mile jog, 700 foot elevation. I made it to the summit. Heavenly
I still prefer Florida, and I prefer the American spirit.
But nature is glorious!
I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.
Ask in replies and answering LIVE at 9ish eastern tonight...
First impressions: I haven’t been overseas in over a decade.
Europe has a very distinct smell. I remember it from France. Like burnt rubber everywhere.
The lineup to get in for people coming from certain countries was probably half a mile along. There was an expedited entry for American and Canadian visas.
I don’t trust the police here at all. Everything about the experience so far reminds me of Eurotrip.
The infrastructure is not just antiquated. Dilapidated. The protective barrier around the airport looks like Alligator Alcatraz. I seriously thought there was something of an encampment outside the building, until I realized it was just the protective barrier for the airport itself.
I watched Moneyball on the airplane. Had never seen it before. One of the best movies I’ve seen in years.
Managed to sleep a couple of hours. Drank plenty of water.
We are waiting to take the train to Switzerland. Met up with the Rumble gang. Everyone’s looking good, and it’s good to be with friends.
Will...
