Biden isn't doing anything his handlers disapprove of. They walk him back when he talks out of line.

It's also a lot cheaper, and safer for the world, to pay Ukranians to die for us than to have to fight Russia itself. Now you can argue we shouldn't be fighting Russia, but supporting a mercenary Ukraine never seemed like a bad idea to me, we just need to make sure graft is not going to Afghanistan and Iraq levels, which it probably is already.

I don't think it boils down to pay for a proxy war or fight Russia with American lives. There is a third option which is to not get involved in yet another proxy war for international private bank interests. Unless Russia is actively invading US soil we should not be supplying money for weapons to either side. But the the Federal Reserve has an interest in preserving the petrodollar, as countries can only buy US oil with US dollars, which at this point is the thing propping the dollar up. The US dollar is not backed by gold, silver or even productivity at this point, just oil, and Russia has a lot of oil and they don't sell it for US dollars. That's the core of the issue. That and Ukraine forced the issue by bombing Russian Ukrainian citizens in Eastern Ukraine and allowing NATO to place nuke missiles on the Russian border. They were warned over and over not to do that by Russia but they did it anyway to force the war, which for all intents and purposes, considering all the countries involved, is World War 3.

I agree but the third option is America quietly conceding top dog status and letting other countries have a go. America certainly has its issues but I still don't want China or Russia running things. It's just not private interests affected by the petrodollar. I see why people in other countries want that, but it'd be against the self-interest of the average American. Russia is not the savior from the globohomo jewish tranny cabals. Russia is not going to save America.

If we're heading to war anyways, might as well strike a blow early by hiring Ukraine to be our mercenaries in a proxy war. I see very few downsides here, except the inevitable waste and graft.
