In the west all we hear about is Russia is about to do this or that, without Russia actually doing those things. The separatists in the Donbas region feel very different.
“There is no way we were ever going to unite Ukraine. I mean, Iraq. Afghanistan!”
- Biden
Biden wasn't the only one that got confused yesterday.
"I think we're basically just on the cusp of war. I think it's all but certain in my mind that there's going to be a large European war... My concern now is making sure that the U.S. is postured for that outcome... The ball is in Putin's court" - @AVindman w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/QXiGv4B9as

Russia has made a very specific accusation, but offered no proof to back it up.
A week ago Russian gas giant Gazprom offered a 50% tariff discount for an additional gas transit to Europe. It was a modest gesture for dialogue and peace.
Washington promptly freaked out and made a wild accusation that resembles the Saddam WMD lies.
Back in 2018, after Trump bombed Syria, Congress proposed an AUMF for our military occupation and efforts at regime change in that nation. Nancy Pelosi insisted that an AUMF was necessary if we wanted to continue to bomb Syria.
It appears that Congress won't let the Forever War in Afghanistan end.
It appears that the Pentagon won't let the illegal War in Syria end.
To be 100% accurate, the American involvement in Syria's Civil War was always a shit show.
There's the time we spent hundreds of millions of dollars building a rebel army, only to see that rebel army immediately turn their weapons over to Al Qaeda and throw away their uniforms.
