With the retards in charge, I don't see how it's avoidable. If Russia doesn't back down soon, doesn't kneel to the Western pressure in short order, it is going to get worse before it gets better, and better is likely a long ways off.
Russia was and is stupid for invading Ukraine. Whether or not you think it was justified, it was a costly miscalculation. That being said, there is plenty more room for stupid, and the United States fills that vacuum.
Michael Tracy has been one of the few journalistic presences offering some much needed skepticism in response to the Western/U.S./Biden admin/establishment messaging. He doesn't get it right all the time but the above tweet is a mostly accurate summary of the belligerent, faux bravado foolhardiness of our nearly octogenarian president (with increasingly credible and concerning problems).
I'll take a sexist with mean tweets any day over a halfwit loudmouth who taunts nuclear adversaries, to say nothing of the concomitant inflation, empty shelves, and an even worse outlook.
I don't know if I was being paranoid enough a while back. Fill your larders and prepare for hard times. If I'm wrong, great--just be sure to eat the food before it expires. If I'm right and the idiots do lead us into dystopia, we're screwed but at least you will be a little more ready for it.
