getting real

 The economy is doing so great right now we need a war! That's my thinking anyway. I realize I'm no political analyst, no great scholar. I'm just a guy that will be 70 years old in a few months that has paid attention to history. I'm not a history teacher either! Still, I can see the writing on the wall and read it plainly enough. The fastest way to stimulate the economy is to engage in war. You can call it a conflict, a police action, supporting your allies or whatever else you like, but the important part is engaging in the war. In times of war the president and the congress can make decisions, engage in political machinations that otherwise would be challenged. War is good for making money! Always has been and always will be.

 It's a delicate balance though these days. Used to be the arms and munitions used to fight conflicts were somewhat limited in their destructive power. We are all aware of how drastically that changed with the atomic age. Those two bombs effectively ended WW2 no doubt about that. The moral implications can and will be debated forever but the results cannot. That elusive situation we called the cold war centered around all of that. Eventually treaties were signed, and "limited" amounts were allowed. Yeah, you can only have a few bombs and missiles capable of destroying the earth! Well because we all know that everyone plays by the rules during wartime. How many nations today have that capability? The official count is nine. At least two of them have decided already that they aren't going to play by the rules. Those are the ones Biden is trying his best to start a war with. But it's just going to be a "little" war with "little" nuclear weapons. Nonetheless it will be good for business. Give this great economy or ours a jump start so to speak. Could even lead to a new world order if the cards are played correctly. 

 We, the United States of America, are currently in debt to the tune of 7.4 trillion dollars to foreign nations. That's a heck of a monthly payment to make. Combine that with the 39.2 Billion dollars we give away each year in foreign aid and the amount left for our own budget sure is taking a hit. If you can't pay up might as well blew them up. China is the second largest holder of debt in the world. We owe the Chinese well over a Trillion! This administration allowed a Chinese spy balloon to track all the way across the country. After it had completed its' mission, it was shot down. I don't think the Chinese cared one iota about that. When the American people had their say the administration began shooting down hobby balloons! And now the President is traveling around stirring the pot. You have to take a close look at all of that and wonder what the heck is going on? It was wrong to say the China virus has caused worldwide health issues, couldn't say that. Trump was vilified for that. Biden on the other hand publicly stated the Russians are committing crimes against humanity! If those aren't fighting words, I don't know what would!

 It's a very dangerous game to be playing. I hear talk of a limited nuclear exchange. That's what the experts believe may happen. I say if you are in a fight how much are you going to limit yourself? Who is willing to use the bigger stick? We used the biggest stick of all on two Japanese cities. Those sticks are tiny compared to what we have today. We can also deliver those weapons much more swiftly, more accurately, and almost without detection. But so can they. Who is going to limit themselves? The days of Armies fighting each other on the ground are over! Those battles only occur for political/economic reasons. No one is actually trying to defeat the other, to take their nation or gain control. Take Ukraine as an example. Does anyone believe that Russia could be stopped if they really wanted to simply invade and take control? The deal there is simple enough to understand. You don't want to cut off your nose to spite your face. But if Russia really wanted to, they could have simply bombed the Ukrainians into submission. As I said, the problem there being blowing up the very thing you want. 

 So now Biden is setting up NATO against the Russians and the Chinese. And just what nation supports NATO with the largest monetary help? What nations supplies NATO with more manpower, more hardware, and more everything than all the others? So just who is challenging Russia and China? Think about that. Would you say we are in a position of strength? Is our leadership intimidating to those foreign powers? Take a good hard look at what America is today and think about that. Rainbow flags, fidget spinners, and being passive isn't going to accomplish much on the world stage. A nation divided, a nation deeply in debt being led by what? A left-wing agenda of appeasement! Wake up people, the party is over and it's about to get real! Very real.
