Alexander Ward’s carefully researched new account argues Biden is POTUS in name only

It was John Adams, one of the Founding Fathers who served as the second President of the United States who said that “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

On February 13 the U.S. Senate voted to approve Biden’s $95 billion, including $60 billion for Ukraine. In addition to Democrats, 22 out of 49 Senate Republicans, including their leader, Mitch McConnell, voted for this bill. According to the “well-meaning” Joe and Senate Speaker Chuck Schumer’s plan, the war, the killing of Ukrainians, and the destruction of their country must go on, never mind the threat of its escalation and Putin’s offer to start negotiations.

It’s time for President Joe Biden to step aside and allow another Democrat to run against the eventual Republican nominee for president, according to The New York Times opinion writer Ross Douthat.

Failed US policy to date based on gross exaggeration of American firepower and misguided wishful thinking Russia would eventually back down

US President Joe Biden, advised by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and – at least theoretically – by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin last week authorized air and missile strikes against 86 targets associated with Iran in Iraq and Syria. 86 targets are a lot.

No experience of the failure of policy can shake belief in its excellence, even though foreign adventures drained the treasury and led to imperial decline.

Only an exceptional president could resist the endless war-profiteering of this mammoth war machine; alas, Biden doesn’t even try.
