If there was ever any question that the United States is headed off the edge of a towering cliff, which means plummeting to a grisly death, John Kirby removed all doubts today with this boneheaded, reckless comment:
US President Joe Biden believes NATO is in Ukraine’s future, but there’s “a lot of things that have to be done” before it can join, Kirby said. When a journalist asked him to elaborate on the “vague conditions” and “unclear pathway” Kiev had been given, the official claimed that Washington’s position was “absolutely clear.”
“First they’ve got to win this war,” Kirby said.
“They gotta win the war first. So, number one: We’re doing everything we can to make sure they can do that. Then when the war’s over no matter what it looks like they’re still going to have a long border with Russia and a legitimate security threat,” he said. Washington will assist in building up Ukraine’s military industrial base, although “corruption is still a major concern,” Kirby added.
Put yourself in the shoes of Vladimir Putin or his General Staff. Do you dismiss Kirby’s statement as the ravings of a lunatic or do you accept it at face value — i.e., the United States is committed to fund and supply a war against Russia to ensure her defeat? If I was sitting with the Stavka in Moscow, I would be inclined to believe that Kirby is expressing the true intent and authentic policy of President Biden. Then you add in the flights of B-52s and other nuclear-bomb capable aircraft flying up to the borders of Russia and NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg’s remarks today:
NATO is considering deploying more of its nuclear weapons in the face of threats from Russia, China and North Korea, the defense alliance’s leader said.
It is important that NATO “communicate the direct message that we, of course, are a nuclear alliance” by taking more of its warheads out of storage, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with the Telegraph published on Sunday.
“I won’t go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues,” he said. “That’s exactly what we’re doing,” he added.
And that is the problem. Delusional statements by senior Biden officials and the head of NATO are ratcheting up tensions between Russia and the West, making the situation more combustible. If you work in a gunpowder factory, you learn early on that you’re not allowed to smoke while on the job. Reason? If you light one up your employment will end with a big boom and a blinding flash of light. Kirby, Sullivan Blinken and Stoltenberg are covered in black powder and contemplating lighting up a joint. At this point, it does not matter whether these Western clowns are just talking smack, with no intent on following through. Russian military and intelligence officials have no choice but to accept that the United States and NATO are hell bent on going to war with Russia and they are preparing accordingly. This gets more dangerous with each passing week.
The Judge and I discussed this today.
