Great summary as ever Mark. You bring together all the best analysts of this appalling situation. In a sane world, the MSM would be doing this kind of digging. The neocons are psychopaths, and like most psychopaths, believe that they are much cleverer and in control than they really are. Your suggestion that Garagegate is a back-alley way to get Biden and the Neocons (sounds like an 80s New Wave group, doesn't it?) out of the way is intriguing and is as good as any other explanation I've heard of so far. It must be galling for Nuland and Co. to realise that their lifelong object of hatred, Russia, is actually being strengthened by their actions and will almost certainly come out on top in Ukraine. These people need to have their hands removed from the levers of power forever - with extreme prejudice - before they do something even crazier.

The US Military has been castrated, and it’s more focused on dealing with diversity shibboleths and preparing for their move to private industry upon retirement, than preparing for war.

Perhaps the US military is worried about being dragged into a war they know will humiliate them, but I don’t see that level of self awareness.

The idea of making Kamala Potus, which would cause a clean out of the people she feels have humiliated her, makes sense. She has a high turn over of personal already as vp, and seems to be a dysfunctional and toxic leader / manager.
