The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

The headlong rush to envelop the world in war continues apace. Ukraine wants its border war to expand so NATO rushes to its rescue, and the Biden/Obama junta wants to create chaos for the incoming Trump administration while simultaneously pleasing the neo-neocons who never saw a war (and rising defense industry profits) and graft they didn't like.

What is really curious is the concurrent maniacal push for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon. Hell, the ICC is charging Israel with crimes against humanity in a war against a terror group. Isn't war against big bad meanies a good thing? Or is it just war that enriches the elites. Maybe Israel should revamp their government and culture so that the grifting graft-seekers in the West will make money?

Russia launched intercontinental ballistic missile during attack on Ukraine, Kyiv says

Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile during an attack on Ukraine on Thursday, Kyiv's air force said, in the first known use in the war of such a powerful, nuclear-capable weapon with a range of thousands of kilometers.

The air force reported the launch after Ukraine fired US and British missiles at targets inside Russia this week, despite warnings by Moscow that it would see such action as a major escalation in the 33-month-old war.

Who knows who is telling the truth! KKKYYEEEEVVV is a corrupt kleptocracy whose politicians and businessmen are becoming fabulously wealthy, courtesy of the American taxpayer. They have every motivation to keep this war simmering for years. Putin is a thug who wants to control his own backyard, so every Western provocation, like the use of American missiles or the approval to use anti-personnel landmines, is countered with...something. He just relaxed the rules for the use of nuclear weapons, and perhaps he launched an ICBM (it's just a big missile with a long range. It's the payload that matters) so the West can freak out.

It's clear that we are being used and manipulated by the Ukrainian kleptocracy, but Putin is also yanking us and the rest of NATO around like a carnival ride.

The problem with that is obvious...nobody knows what is next, particularly with the Biden/Obama junta making reckless decisions.

Gavrilo Princip to the NATO courtesy phone?
