The “Cover Your Butt” Olympics

You can’t deny that “Joe Biden” did his goodest Thursday night facing down a half-dozen pre-selected reporters representing blob-adjacent news orgs such as Reuters and NPR at the post-NATO meetup damage-control event billed as a “news conference.”

Only a week after he declared himself to be the “first Black woman vice president,” he pivoted to correct the record, telling the D.C. press corps that he’d “picked Vice President Trump to be vice president…”

Everyone in the room saw that they were back in that mortifying scene in The Caine Mutiny when the confused and incompetent Captain Queeg reaches for the ball bearings in his pocket while the ship battles to stay afloat in a hurricane.

At the end of the harrowing hour, the old coot minced his way offstage, leaving the Democratic Party evermore sore perplexed as to how they might lever this burnt-out old husk out of the nomination they foolishly secured for him months ago.

Am I being excessively partisan here? I don’t think so. I think you’d have to be excessively partisan to watch “Joe Biden’s” recent performances and conclude that he’s somehow fit to be president.

And for another four years? Seriously? C’mon on, man!

Anyway, it ain’t gonna be easy, as “JB” repeatedly insisted he had no intention of stepping aside, despite the forces mustering against him in Congress, the media and Hollywood. Even CNN is turning on him. Meanwhile, the #VeepTrump clip went viral on social media. So much for damage control.

A Total Fiasco

Moving on, you understand, don’t you, what a fiasco the 75th anniversary D.C. NATO meetup itself was? Everyone in the room, including the key prime ministers and presidents, could sense how flimsy the alliance now appears, as led by our maundering near-zombie president.

Like “Joe Biden,” NATO’s raison d’etre has been exposed as badly out of date and dangerously unhinged.

Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg kicked things off declaring that Ukraine is on an “irreversible” path to NATO. This controverts what everybody in NATO knows is Mr. Putin’s clearest red line, and is therefore either a jape or a bit of recklessly provocative idiocy.

The only thing that’s probably irreversible at this point is a Russian victory. The only real question is how much of Ukraine Russia will end up with. But the more NATO insists upon Ukrainian membership, the more Russia will be determined to make sure it never happens.

Maybe one day Ukraine will come to realize how they were just pawns of the U.S. and NATO to weaken Russia. By the way, that failed too. The Russian army is bigger and more powerful than it was two years ago, while its economy is growing at a good clip. Good job, guys.

Fearmongering

The truth of the matter is this: Following its transition out of the failed Soviet experiment 30 years ago, Russia was never a threat to its European neighbors. All the talk of Vladimir Putin seeking to reassemble the old USSR empire was knowingly false, as is the chatter now about Russia looking to invade Europe.

What Russia actually sought was to be regarded, once again, as a normal European nation able to conduct normal business with the rest of Europe. The USA wouldn’t allow it.

Exactly why remains partially mysterious. Surely, post-1991, it was in the interest of U.S. military contractors to maintain their Cold War revenue streams. To do that, a foreign hobgoblin had to be invoked — and perhaps China was not the best candidate, since it had begun manufacturing everything on sale in the Walmart — so Russia, with practically no export economy besides energy (which is considerable), was cast in that role.

And the politicians, too, surely liked creaming off their share of that military-industrial revenue stream, so they went along policywise, with figures like John McCain and Lindsey Graham leading the charge.

But the U.S. intel blob and State Department had darker motives, driven by an animus that has slowly revealed itself to be insane — just as the Democratic Party has turned obviously insane, adopting a playbook that could have been written by Franz Kafka.

Ukraine Was the Doorway to Russian Resources

Being likewise insane, the intel blob and the neocons at State harbored an unappeasable hatred toward Russia that, since the Soviet collapse, allowed no accommodation and gelled into a naked avarice for seizing the resources of Russia with a long-term plan to subvert the Russian state, break it up the way they broke up Serbia in the 1990s and direct a corporate looting operation of Russia’s oil and mineral riches.

Ukraine was the doorway they had to go through to get that done.

And so the blob and State neocons overthrew democratically elected Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, and installed Poroshenko followed by Zelenskyy.

Veep “Joe Biden” was given the Ukraine “portfolio,” making him a sort of viceroy, and he took full advantage, plopping his son Hunter on the board of Burisma, the huge Ukrainian natgas company that American oil and gas companies drooled over.

Hunter managed to milk the Ukrainian government for tribute to the Biden family bank accounts far above the roughly million dollar a year salary he grifted from his no-show job on the Burisma board. (Hunter also apparently dabbled in a set of bioweapons labs set up in Ukraine by the CIA.)

Thus, along with the sheer insanity of the CIA and State Department, the Biden family had a deep and criminal involvement in Ukraine that had to be concealed.

The Real Reason Biden’s Staying in the Race?

That degenerate relationship has been revealed since the discovery of the laptop that Hunter stupidly left in a Wilmington computer repair shop, and all the disclosures that have followed — including the sedulous recovery of bank records for the many shell companies the Bidens used to conceal their moneygrubbing in Ukraine and other foreign lands.

When Mr. Trump first scented it in the fall of 2019, they impeached him for it. But now that he threatens to return to the White House, the blobists and the Bidens are running out of options to evade accounting for all this mischief.

That desperation is what’s probably driving disintegrating “Joe Biden” to remain president and to continue pressing the malevolent and foolish proxy war against hobgoblin Russia and its vilified president, Mr. Putin.

So now you know.
