Have we sent in the clowns???

"Folks, as the world has become more dangerous, more complicated, we have elected clowns. Not just in Washington, all over the country, as well as some of our allies. We are worshipping at the alter of Global Warming and Woke, while Putin and Xi have geared up for the next big fight." 

I just listened to Ned Price give the State Department Q+A presser. That was right after I listened to retired General Jack Keane give his assessment as to where we are right now. I had to turn off the TV. It was becoming too much. Seeing what is going on up in Canada with Fidel's kid, seeing what is going on in our large cities with Soros funded DAs, watching the continual breaching of our southern border by the cartels, and now to see Russia about to make a move for the Ukraine, and maybe beyond - a question comes to mind. Have we given up? Have we sent in the clowns?

Is there not one person in charge, in the United States, Canada, or half of Europe, who has some gravitas? Some backbone? Who knows what the Sam Hill he or she is doing? Jack Keane gave a dire assessment today on where we are. Ukraine is a sitting duck, and the cyber attacks and the psyops have already started. The Russians have set up field hospitals, and stocked them with blood. War is all but certain.

Once the Ukraine is taken, then what? What if the Russians go after former Soviet satellites who are now in NATO? Can we stop them? Keane has serious doubts. Article 5 to the NATO Agreement (collective defense), might just become a worthless piece of paper. 

Here is the bottom line. We have not prepared for this moment. We did at one time. But starting during the Obama Administration, the balance of power started to shift. Our defense budget did not keep pace with what was happening in Russia and China. Now under Biden, it is even worse. We are mostly bark with not enough bite. And as much ground as we have lost in the arms race with Russia and China, it is nothing compared to how far behind NATO is. Talking about all the unity we have with NATO is great right now, but are we all hat and no cattle? If Putin makes a bold move on a NATO country, what are our options? Anything? 

One of the orders of battle this country has had for a long time, was to have enough starch in our forces, where we could fight two wars at once. If it ever came to a war in the Pacific and one in Europe, we would be up to the task (like in WW II). Many military experts are now saying those days are behind us. If we got into a shooting war with Russia, it would take just about everything the US and NATO has. Plus, it there is an agreement with Xi, that China could move on Taiwan when Europe explodes - hang on. Taiwan could be toast in a matter of days.

Folks, as the world has become more dangerous, more complicated, we have elected clowns. Not just in Washington, all over the country, as well with some of our allies. As we worship at the alter of Global Warming and Woke, Putin and Xi have geared up for the next big fight. 

The one ray of hope I heard on the news today, was the country of Ukraine is now allowing private citizens to carry arms. Really? What took them so long? Our Founders knew one thing for dead certain. Armed citizenry is the best defense against foreign invaders, or - an overreaching tyrannical government. We may have clowns in charge right now, but the citizens and patriots in this country are anything but.
