Get Ready for That Epic Arms Race: Sleepy Joe Woke Up

Phil Butler, March 18

Here we go. If you were wondering when the next foot would fall after a lunatic American president was replaced with Joe Biden, the new boss at the White House just took that step. The amplification of the anti-Russia symphony has now been maxed out now, as the US leader calls Russia’s president a killer on 50,000 news outlets. It turns out, Donald Trump was only the trendsetter for an American hegemony hell-bent on total world domination. Now the Biden presidency has the green light to create a detente nightmare.

I always thought the election of Donald Trump as America’s president was a kind of weird political science. But, like many Americans, I was anxious for a change of pace and policy, so a billionaire casino builder seemed a rift of a departure from lying politicians like Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Sadly, millions of us were only fooled. Donald Trump’s job, the reason for all that comical craziness of his, was to ensure the people who backed him would lose their voice for the foreseeable future. Now, the liberal world order is in full command, of a surreal army dedicated to taking down anything that has to do with tradition. And Russia, while they are at it.

The New York Times put it on the front page, Vladimir Putin authorizing an interference in the 2020 presidential election. And the proof is? Like all the proofs against Russian’s embattled president, hearsay. A nation based on the rule of law and justice has created a western world court of public opinion where a Tweet from a puppet of mobsters is enough to throw us into a state of war. Biden, sometimes referred to as “Sleepy Joe”, seems to have awakened from some kind of chilling dream where threatening the president of Russia is okay. He told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that Putin will pay that will soon become clear.

Now get this. The President of the United States kicks off his administration attacking Syria first. Then, in a masterstroke of diplomacy, he threatens the president of the second most powerful nuclear nation on Earth “they tried to influence public opinion”, referring to a report from the Director of National Intelligence that said there was no election tampering. You read that correctly. America is being prepared for all-out nuclear war, based on bobble-headed speculation and doublespeak, from the same people who tore up the US Constitution by spying on Americans. Here’s the declassified version of the report.

If your read it, you are thinking exactly what I am thinking. Is this a joke? According to these Sherlocks somewhere beneath the Pentagon or in the basement at Langley:

“Some foreign actors, such as Iran and Russia, spread false or inflated claims about alleged compromises of voting systems to undermine public confidence in election processes and results.”

This was “Key Judgement One”, no less. There’s not a hint of proof, and even if there were, how would this make Russia’s leader a killer? It’s madness. And we thought Trump had cornered the market on Alice in Wonder Land diplomacy. The report goes on to classify any criticism of either Joe Biden or Donald Trump, as efforts by some mysterious “Kremlin proxies” out there. I am not joking here, if you read this report you will probably start looking into Armageddon bunkers for your family. These people are riding the ridiculous wave that began to bulge about the time Bush II invaded Iraq. Obama paddled the surfboard to enable ISIS and the Euromaidan, Trump donned the banana-colored Hawaiian bathing suit, and now Joe Biden is cutting a wake straight into a geopolitical tsunami. Short version, we will probably all drown in the aftermath of this nincompoop report. Get this. The President of the United States is acting based on a report that cannot decide whether the Russians liked Biden or Trump! The trillion-dollar US intelligence machinery says they think Russia preferred Trump over Biden, even though Trump had some unlikable policies toward Russia! Here is one section. No, I am not lying.

“We have high confidence in this assessment based in part on the Kremlin’s statements about him and the consistency and volume of anti-Biden messaging we detected from Russian online influence actors.”

The lunacy continues. Please read this report! The geniuses in America’s cyber battalions took what happened, which was Trump losing, and then got some PR hacks to write a “truth” that would match (sort of) the fact Russia just watched and waited to see who would win. Seriously. They cite Mr. Putin’s actions and words, then wave some kind of White House spell casting wand, to make it appear Putin was spending his nights wringing hands and plotting what America will do. Talk about exceptionalism gone off the edge. The US President, these days, is just not that important to anybody anymore. Trump saw to that. The report writers go on to seesaw back and forth as to whether Putin wanted Trump or Biden, in one of the dumbest official reports I ever read. And Biden waved it in front of the American people.

Okay. After you read, and when you note how many times the word “probably” occurs in the document, I know you will try to wrap your mind around what just happened. For many of you, if Trump was a raging maniac, Joe Biden will come into focus as a mindless stooge who will certainly fiddle while the world burns. The unbelievable thing is, nowhere in this Three Stooges of cyber intelligence report does it say Vladimir Putin killed anybody. Biden just threw that in for good measure, before threatening harm for Putin and/or Russia.

I hope the reader will forgive me, for once I am at a loss as to what to say next. Biden went further, if you can imagine this, suggesting that Russia’s leader does not even have a soul, reasserting his dislike for the Russian leader from a supposed meeting they once had. The Associated Press (AP) ran this story as if this crazy report were prima facia evidence. I guess my only analysis is this – get ready for the biggest arms race in history.
