The Biden administration’s inept foreign policy and war making may yet kill us all. From Anatol Lieven and Ted Snider at responsiblestatecraft.org:
The president promised to contain Gaza and Ukraine but both conflicts have been a slow burn to something much bigger
President Joe Biden has called America “the world power,” and has referred to his “leadership in the world.” If Biden does indeed see himself as a, or the, world leader, then he has been disappointing in his job and has mismanaged it.
The world today stands on the brink of larger wars, even potentially world wars, on two fronts simultaneously. That is, perhaps, a more precarious position than the world has found itself in in over half a century, since the Cuban Missile Crisis, and perhaps longer. Then, the danger came from a single front: today, there is danger on two or even three.
The Biden administration seemingly subscribes to a foreign policy doctrine of nurturing wars while attempting to manage them so that they remain confined to America’s foreign policy interests and do not spill over into wider wars. But such fine calibrations are not easily done. War is sloppy and unpredictable. Though a nation’s plans may be well understood by its planners, calibration of what might push the enemy too far and cause a wider war depends equally on your enemy’s plans, calibrations, passions and red lines: all of which are harder to profile or understand.
What is more, the contemporary culture of the U.S. foreign policy establishment seems dedicated precisely to excluding the kind of knowledge and empathy that allows one to understand an adversary’s mind, and instead to fostering ill-informed and hate-filled prejudice.
Calibrating how far you can push militarily or politically without tipping the balance of containment and triggering full-scale war is dangerously worse than tricky. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah badly miscalculated how far the calibrated strikes and responses with Israel could go before a controlled conflict became a larger war. The price of miscalculation was his life and a war in Lebanon.

Remember when Brandon said I don’t work for you to a union comrade in the glorious peoples republic of Michigan during the not so Great COV-LARP Leap Forward.
A fun Freudian slip for CCP Brandon to Leave the World Behind.
So cute having the Frankfurt School Faculty Lounge at the helm for WWIII.
What better way to burn it all down.

That Trump docu is American Dream and the GILF is Nikki Haskell, they even showed Rona Barrett and Baba Wawa AKA Barbara Walters.
TDS wasn’t a thing back then, now showing the female construction engineers who helped build Trump Tower and the black ex-cop bodyguard/chauffeur because racists and sexist.
