Spiral..

 

The desire to humiliate Putin and reinforce U.S. global military dominance is shortsighted and dangerous. It risks escalating, expanding, and prolonging the war in Ukraine. It will vastly increase the probability of a nuclear exchange, which could easily spiral into a global holocaust. 

The highest priority of the United States should be to bring this war to a swift conclusion through an immediate ceasefire and a negotiated settlement that is fair and durable.

Yet the Biden administration under pressure from Congress and the foreign policy establishment has only ratcheted up its war aims, from containing Russia to crushing it. 

 Following a high-level visit to Ukraine, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin described the U.S. goal as seeing “Russia weakened to the degree it cannot do the kinds of things it has done in invading Ukraine,” while Democratic leaders called for an outright military “victory”. 

With that Food shortage, Oil Prices, Steady Inflation and increase poverty around the globe, all are very welcome to this Democratic Party to keep the focus away from Domestic Issues and Mid Term Election.  Just a thought.
