Land Mines, Cluster Bombs, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. All I Want For Christmas is No World War III

Insanity, a sage once said,  “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

Under that definition, President Biden’s Ukraine war strategy is insane. This war has dragged on for almost three years, and the carnage only intensifies.

 Ukrainian president Zelensky periodically asks Biden for more sophisticated weapons; Biden hesitates briefly and then gives Zelensky whatever the little guy wants.

Biden has become a short-order cook for the Ukrainians. Abrams tanks, F-16s, cluster bombs, long-range missiles, and land mines: “Coming right up!”

Biden apparently believes that Russian casualties will eventually force Russian President Vladimir Putin to sue for peace. Indeed, the pile of dead and wounded grows bigger by the day. 

Nevertheless, American weapons and technology haven’t hastened an end to the war. In fact, the scope of the war is expanding. North Korean troops are fighting alongside the Russians in the Kursk region. China buys Russian oil to finance Putin’s war and may have committed acts of sabotage on behalf of Russia in the Baltic Sea. Iran supplies Russia with drones. 

America and Great Britain have given Zelensky everything he asks for, including permission to fire US and British-made long-range missiles into Russia. President Biden will soon be sending ant-personnel mines to the Zelensky regime–an additional escalation.

In short, the US and its allies are doing the same thing over and over by supplying Ukraine with evermore lethal weaponry, and they keep getting the same result–an increasingly aggressive Russian assault. 

Jamie Dimon, Chase CEO, is correct: World War III has already started. President Trump has promised to bring the Ukraine war to a swift conclusion. Let’s hope and pray that Biden doesn’t drag our nation into a global nuclear conflict before Trump is sworn into office.
