Declining empires tend to do desperate things...As much as I hate to admit it, we are a declining empire controlled by narcissistic "leaders" (I use the term "leaders" loosely), who will do anything to gather and retain power. Same as it ever was, only it is on our doorsteps. As much as I respect our military personnel, the leadership is controlled, bought and paid for, and just as ruthless as any other standing military leaders out there. Add in big pharma, the media and the techno's, and us ordinary citizens are in a world of hurt. Come on, we can't even arrest Hunter Biden with all the info that has come out on him, and we think we can stop the 'Big Guy'? What 3-letter agency can we trust? We can't even trust our education system, which we all pay for, to not indoctrinate our children. Yes, we are declining...sadly...

This is simply a desperate act from a crumbling empire. Ask yourself this question; how is America's economy impacted when cheap Russian oil marries German manufacturing who in turn sell their finished goods to an emerging Chinese middle class. All you have to do is follow the money and apply a little common sense. You give a Statist Neocon a hammer and everything and everyone looks like a nail. This is yet another Neocon forever unwinnable war. The only difference is that this one has the potential to be their, and by default our, very last one :-(
