I never liked Ronald Reagan. I thought he was a disaster for the US on the domestic front, but there’s a reason I picked that picture which I will get to.
Felonious’ Fascist Performance Art roadshow is an embarassing farce which is bad enough. The most infuriating thing about it, though, is that it will not only not bring an end to the war, it will do the exact opposite.
In just 48 hours, he’s unraveled what three years of hard work accomplished at the very moment those accomplishments were finally bearing fruit. The limits of Russia’s warfighting capacity are in sight, and Ukraine’s warfighting capacity is finally hitting its stride.
We might have gotten here sooner had Felonious not sabotaged Ukraine and Ukraine policy in 2023.
The Repiblican House Majority aid embargo cost Ukraine Avdivka, a key defensive position they’d held despite constant attacks for 19 years. Munition and materiel shortages made it impossoble to hold without catastrophic personnel losses. As a result, Russians were able to make their largest territorial gains since the first months of the war.
Regardless, that’s water under the bridge. We are here now in a good position. The West finally taking action against Russia’s shadow fleet, and using returns on Russian assets to arm Ukraine.
If Felonious were serious about ending the war he would take advantage of the position Biden left him. See that huge spike in assistance delivered to Ukraine in the chart above? All Felonious had to do was tell Putin there’s more where that came from so deal now because your leverage will only diminish over time.
Instead he’s choosing to betray not just Ukraine, but us too. He’s giving Putin, our adversary, what he wants. He wants us to withdraw from Europe so he can reasert the control over Eastern Europe that was lost when the Soviet Union collapsed.
It’s just a bizarre betrayal of what it took decades and trillions in tax payer money to accomplish. More bizarre still is the same party whose hero, Ronald Reagan, they claim won the Cold War, brought down the Berlin Wall and wrested Eastern Europe from Moscow’s evil grip is now supporting a guy who is working to give it all back.
And his delusional megalomaniac hubris is just insane. He’s told Europe it must take greater responsibility for its own security, only to turn around tell them they’ll have no say in resolving the greatest threat to that security, the war in Ukraine. Only he can solve it, you see.
He’s nuts. Appeasement never works, and this garbage goes well beyond appeasement. He’s going to get Americans killed.
The only good news is neither Europe nor Ukraine are going to play along. The bad news is it will take longer to convince Putin he can’t win, prolonging the war.
Europeans are now the leaders of the free world. I think they understand that, and are prepared to shoulder that burden.
We sure aren’t anymore.
