Wot? "Fighting Joe" (Biden) in Kiev?
Looking for trouble US warmongering lobby style....
And suddenly Ole Joe is in Kiev! ...And, in fact, during a Russian air raid that triggered instructions to inhabitants to run for the bomb shelters.
Sending an old man in Joe’s physical and mental condition to the front line, under an ongoing enemy attack, is an invitation to an incalculable disaster if this infirm and confused US president is hurt, or, even, killed while playing buddy-buddy with that ridiculous Ukrainian T-shirted comedian—who’s now peddling himself as the one ultimate hero singlehandedly fighting to protect both Western ideals and peoples all in one sweep (his performance is only the latest in a long series of other such ersatz ‘heroes’ and ‘brave leaders’).
Ole Joe vrooming to Kiev is an extraordinary demonstration of the US war lobby’s all-pervasive power of manipulating US strategy, and reaching the Oval Office itself, with stunning ease.
The longer Ukraine remains a terrifying meat grinder the better for the arm manufacturers creating fabulous profit streams and keeping opportunities for even fatter gains as the two gladiators mangle each other to death.
American presidents have visited war zones before, but they have never been exposed so openly and brazenly to direct enemy fires. Johnson and Nixon both travelled to Vietnam, but their visits were always limited to mingling with swarms of GIs and attending bulletproof conferences with Vietnamese leaders and senior US military top brass.
DW was certainly on the ball covering Ole Joe’s visit BUT the lady doing the reporting was regrettably below par with constant “errrrr , errrr” speech interruptions plus her obvious weak grasp of the implications of the episode at hand.
