2022: President Biden “not prepared to provide” long-range missiles to Ukraine, given the “key goal” of avoiding “the road towards a third world war.”
2023: Biden administration preparing to send long-range missiles to Ukraine.
I guess avoiding World War III is no longer a “key goal.” Did Biden change his mind? Or has he lost it?
Let me explain why these missiles are perhaps the most dramatic escalation of the war to date.
They will allow Ukraine to conduct missile strikes on Crimea and Russian territory. Goodbye Crimea Bridge. Moscow would mount a massive retaliation. If you want to provoke a full-on war between Russia and NATO, this is exactly how to do it.
Is President Biden so out of touch with the American people that he thinks provoking war with Russia is more important than restoring our economic prosperity? Health? Schools? Infrastructure? Farms? Environment?
Are there any Democrats in Congress with the spine to oppose this lunacy? Are there any Republicans?

New FDA ruling exempts clinical trials with “minimal risk” from informed consent. That means that researchers can experiment on you without your knowledge or permission, so long as they claim that what they are testing is “safe.”
@washingtonpost You see, bad people are spreading bad misinformation to make you think the economy is ailing. When in fact, Everything is awesome!
So if you are barely making your credit card minimum payments, if you can’t afford child care, if you are one of those Americans waiting in line at the food banks, if you are priced out of a home… well, don’t you know that GDP is growing and inflation is down and unemployment is at historic lows?
Guess who quit the FDA for a lucrative job in the pharmaceutical industry he was supposed to regulate? That’s a trick question. It happens so regularly you could name any of hundreds of retired officials and get it right.
A symptom of what? Poor messaging? Low unemployment? Public awareness of PTSD? Maybe, but I’m seeing a more fundamental cause. It is that people sense that our elective wars going back to Vietnam were not actually to defend our country. They were to maintain a global empire, enrich the defense contractors, and tickle the fancies of neocon “global chessboard” warmongers.
A recent poll showed 72% of respondents unwilling to enlist in the event of a major conflict. But if that conflict were not a foreign military adventure, but instead were to defend the homeland from invasion, I’m sure we’d have a flood of volunteers.
White House neocons are deceiving the American people about the Ukraine war. The big question is: are they also lying to President Biden in order to block a diplomatic resolution and keep their "splendid little war" going?
In an X post last week, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's former senior advisor @EdwardMDruce disclosed that Vladimir Putin has been publicly asking to negotiate a peace agreement and that President Biden Sec. of State Antony Blinken "appears to be misrepresenting him."
@EdwardMDruce Druce pointed out that Presidents Zelensky and Putin had agreed to a draft treaty in March 2022, mediated through 18 drafts by the then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
Druce told me by phone that both Russian and Ukrainian negotiating teams had initialed the draft.
