We should have turned "inward" to correcting our own numerous problems at least 40 years ago.

From the details of this latest strike on Ukraine GUR headquarters, Zhou may soon have to skip Rehoboth and head straight to Dover AFB. To say we’re in over our heads is an understatement.

Arrogant neo-cons are destroying the US and turning the entire world against the US. They simply do not care. I wonder how much the WEF is affecting our tactics and strategy in Ukraine. As long as they are ruling, the neo cons could care less that they will be 'ruling' over the ashes of the US. They just DEMAND to rule, although they are WORSE than incompetent. I WISH that they were ONLY incompetent, but they are ARROGANT and believe that the US CANNOT LOSE. They are playing for BIG STAKES, and everyday American's are the people paying the PRICE.

I fear that it is going to become WORSE. They've screwed us up SO BADLY, I don't have TIME or SPACE to write it down.

China and Russia are allies now. This CANNOT be OVER EMPHASIZED. This is a BIG DEAL.

They've forced countries to discontinue the dollar, our honeymoon with the DOLLAR as the RESERVE CURRENCY is ending, and the ending process is ACCELERATING. I think the destruction of the US is at least partially being subsidized by the globalists, who wish NOTHING more than a excuse to take over because countries are TOO INCOMPETENT to run their own affairs, and fight each other without endangering the entire WORLD. It would be in the WEF's best interests for the US to be destroyed, or humbled militarily and economically- this is undoubtedly happening now- and our "leaders" are enabling it!

The Russians have had the opportunity to engage with and destroy a number of weapons systems during this war. Systems sent in detail and destroyed in detail. They have validated various of their systems and will improve them. Their failures will be corrected. It sounds as if our military is alarmed about this situation. Let us hope that we are at least learning from this as well and fund new R&D lavishly enough to create the next offset. The first was nukes. Are the Russians along with China past a new offset that renders our military equipment and methods obsolete? Alarm on the part of our military suggests this is the case. Will congress act? Do they even understand that this is within the realm of their responsibilities?

I believe the Biblical admonition goes a very long way in explaining the whys, wherefores and howcomes of this mess: “the love of money is the root of all evil.” And Lord Acton covered the other part:!”power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” We can argue about the details and the fine print all day long but the bottom line remains the same, fallen human nature can be a horrible destructive force when left unchecked.

At one time, the US was one of those countervailing forces to blunt unchecked human nature, not so sure about that anymore. Sad, but sadly true I’m afraid.

I'm not arguing that "Ukraine shouldn't attack Moscow." I don't have any tactical advice for war planners

What I *would* argue, however, is that Americans have been systematically deceived by the government about the scope of the war they're entangling us deeper and deeper in

Agreed. Why? Military industrial complex, political ties e.g. Lawfare types. Neocon interests. MSM interests. What a crime and a pity.

This all begs questions from me about the FD-1023 document the FBI withholds. What could be so telling in this foreign document (allegedly from Ukraine) $5M or so... that would prevent the FBI from releasing given where we are in this proxy war?

Given Russia's supremacy to date would releasing the 1023 do so much damage to US relations with EU or others potentially destroy longstanding trust and relationships? Is there something in this document that if released would cause EU or others to "freak out" as they've been drawn into the Ukraine war based on bribery and corruption by a sitting US President?

What could be so damaging to release must greatly affect our national interest? Could this be so damaging as to change others perspectives as the US world leader with all the rights, rules, and privileges? Feels that way.

The FD-1023 is one of the documents Giuliani got ahold of and passed to Bluto Barr back in 2020 who pawned it off to the Pitt. PA AG, who in turn punted.

It's not damaging to the national interest--quite the contrary. What it's damaging to is the interest of the political establishment in DC.

I’ll say it another way. It’s the FBI’s means to cover up for FBI misdeeds.

Okay; I hear ya. It's the political establishment in DC's perspective of "National interests" I guess.

Not to mention multiple billions of dollars of military equipment left behind in Afghanistan with the victorious Taliban.

As it was with Clinton, Bush and Obama, we won't truly* understand the damages done by "Biden" to The Republic for 5-10 years. My guess is that as bad as it is now, we don't know half of it...

Corruption in Ukraine...impossible. I guess those Mexican border cartels just found their new anti-tank weapons by the side of the road.

Seriously, corruption is the motive that explains this madness. Look what they did to Trump when he just hinted at investigating corruption.

Zhou meets Z: two snake oil salesmen, one with a damning 1023 and the other, for the love of lucre and playing to big crowds, accepting a “forced suicide” of his country…odious and tragic.
