Biden Hyping Russia Threat for Partisan Gain
Substack.com, Feb 19, 2022, Christian Whiton

I’ve heard of low-intensity conflict, but this is ridiculous. Joe Biden and the legions of palace eunuchs who comprise the national security complex, both inside and outside of the executive branch, combined with Pentagon reporters with a touch of Stockholm Syndrome, promised the grandest European battle since Waterloo. First Russia was going to invade Ukraine last Saturday. Then it was going to be last Wednesday. Then this weekend. So far, with the exception of a few minor explosions in Russian Ukraine, the silence in thunderous.

Now, it will go down early next week, or so we are told. In a press conference on Friday, Biden said he knew that Russian President Vladimir Putin had decided to order an invasion. His explanation of the source of this insight: “We have a significant intelligence capability.”

Mmmkay. A few countries have excellent intelligence capabilities, including capabilities that reveal the thinking of their opponents. The USA isn’t one of them. The probability that Biden knows the thinking of Putin or other adversaries, which cannot be discerned from satellite pictures, is about the same as finding a three-legged ballerina.

Over the weekend, the White House started to pull back the throttle ever so slightly on its talking points, saying Biden received a briefing from his aides: “They reaffirmed that Russia could launch an attack against Ukraine at any time.”

Why did “would” become “could” in a single day after Biden’s press conference?

It’s looking increasingly likely Biden hyped the chance of war to change the topic in Washington. He and his vice president have lied to Congress, the media, our allies and the public.

AGAIN....

Good points.  Beside the obvious dog wagging intent here, there may be a Pedo Joe side benefit of throwing of a bone to the residual Bush faction (McConnell, Graham, et. al)  who are smitten to the military industrial complex.

And to the point of his double-speak of would vs. could.....   There's a lot of scar tissue and degredation between those synapses and those lips.  Anything Biden says should be just considered gibberish.
