This is from Russ in reference to my article this morning: < Let the numbers ring ! >

Your post has a lot of things going on, which has preoccupied my mind as well, not only with the previous Biden regime, but the past year as well.
The economy is but one aspect. And, true enough, the previous four years were just disastrous – but the past year hasn’t really helped either.

When economies begin to tank, the quick proven method to distract the population is to go to war. We have been on an intentional self-destructive dive with the previous democrat administrations, but to continue on with the same old business as usual defense procurement is absolute disaster. Having a mindset focused on previous conventional wars a well as limited campaigns (still unsuccessful with minor states like Afghanistan and Yemen) will not get us to where we need to be.

And for example, the new “Trump” class of battleships is going to end up the same way as the battleship era ended in World War II. I thought we were learning from all of the scams going on in Minnesota and Ohio. I guess not. (And although there will be a lot of money being spent, it probably will have little effect because most of it will not see the light of day before things will get “kinetic.”

Anyway, I do believe that we are now entering a new era of conflict, which also reminds me of some of the old Vietnam War era songs. (I guess that this dates me)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s Lucky Man comes to mind. https://thegreatestsongs.com/lucky-man-emerson-lake-palmer/
And Country Joe and The Fish Vietnam Song as well (a bit crude at the start) https://www.lyricsondemand.com/country_joe_and_the_fish/vietnam_song

For which the chorus was:

and its 1,2,3 what are we fightin for?
don’t ask me i don’t give a dam, the next stop is Vietnam,
and its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates. Well there aint no time to wonder why…WHOPEE we’re all gunna die.

I don’t want to appear pessimistic, I just want to be realistic. And I am a veteran. There is going to be a lot of pain ahead of us. I just don’t want to see it be self-inflicted. But I guess that that is the plan.

AH Note #1: Oddly, when you think about it...all those Vietnam War protestors were right all along.
But we still had to kill nearly 60,000 US military personnel before we finally lost that war.
And...nearly 1,000,000 Vietnamese died as well.
Tragic, wrong, avoidable, but a goal of the US federal government.
There was only one winner from that war <click here>

AH Note #2: Yeah, Democrat Administrations love their wars. But, Bush #1 & Bush #2 are both Republicans.
Bush #1 started the first Iraq War. Bush #2 started the second Iraq War and the Afghanistan War.
In the last 25 years Republican Presidents have been far more war-mongering than Dems.
