Another $200 million to Ukraine but still no plan for ending the endless war.  Stalemate will continue indefinitely.  Costing billions of dollars and thousands of lives for no purpose.  When all is said and done, some compromise today would look no different than however the war ends years from now.  The US military contractors are making out like bandits.  Old Joe is concerned with Israel, though.  And warning them to scale down their effort.

The leftist press is in full on anti-Israel mode today.  Both the NY Times and Wash Post have briefly paused their non-stop Trump conspiracy attacks with headlines touting the number of deaths in Gaza.  Israel is apparently targeting civilians according to the NY Times.  The Wash Post indicates that 20,000 are dead (with no context).  What of Ukraine?  Nothing.  The war there must go on and on forever but Israel is supposed to standdown.  Hopefully Jewish voters remember how they have been treated by these radical leftists.

Wash Post:
"More than 20,000 dead in Gaza, a historic human toll"

NY Times:
"Israel Bombed Areas Where It Ordered Gaza Civilians to Go, Evidence Shows"

Zelensky is following the Biden version of democracy by suspending the upcoming election.  Because he has declared martial law, Zelensky doesn't want the people of Ukraine to be able to select their leader by voting in 2024.  That is what they used to refer to as being a "dictator."  Now he is a warrior for democracy.  Democracy being defined apparently as the ability of one political group to control elections to protect their citizens from themselves by selecting the leader of their own choosing.  Even Lincoln ran for re-election during the Civil War.  But Zelensky apparently can't do that.  Why?  Does he think he will be defeated?  If not, why not have an election?  There are so many lies and intentional omissions from our leftist state armed propaganda media.  No reporting that Zelensky has suspended the election.  Instead we are told this is actually a war to protect democracy.

Sounds like Putin gave the Epstein treatment to Navalny.  A terrible ending for a heroic figure that resulted, in part, from Old Joe's weakness and mental impairment.   None of our enemies have any fear of the incompetents in charge of the US.  Meanwhile the endless war rages on in Ukraine with our politicians falling all over themselves to send more billions with no apparent objective or plan.  They just want to control the flow of money.

[Richard Smith]

Billions wasted or stolen.  Tens of thousands dead and cities destroyed.  And things are worse off today for Ukraine than when the war began.  And what is the plan?   There doesn't appear to be one except to spend more money for an endless war.  No one ever learns the lessons of history.   Funding wars for with no plan for winning is futile.  Eventually there will be some type of negotiated settlement.  The kind of settlement that could have been reached on the first week of the conflict.  Everyone except the military contractors will be worse off for prolonging the suffering.

[Richard Smith]

Old Joe is trying to force a ceasefire in Gaza while desperately seeking funding for his endless war in Ukraine.  Unreal.   He has no plan or policy in either case.  He does nothing in the interest of the US because he can't figure out what that even is.  He changes direction with the political winds.  The radical anti-Semitic leftists are anti-Israel.   So whoever is in charge tell Joe to take a stand against Israel. 

[Richard Smith]

I truly feel sorry for the people of Ukraine who are caught between Putin's aggression, the greed and incompetence of the US politicians, and the disinterest of "Europe."  They are being used as cannon fodder by the US establishment to gain access to billions in military contracts to refight the Cold War with no plan for winning or ending the war.   The deaths and destruction will go on and on.  Perhaps for years or decades.  When all is said and done, they will likely not get more than they could get in a good faith negotiation today. 

[Richard Smith]

Old Joe is sending another $300 million to Ukraine despite not having authorization from Congress.  His endless war must go on and on.  Even the Vatican is calling for negotiations to end it but there is no profit in that for the military contractors.
