US politics - cooked

I agree with you. John Eastman is in big trouble too.

The Committee go to great lengths to acknowledge the foot soldiers have been prosecuted, but the actual leaders, the planners have not been charged. He is in that category.

Could be in a little strife. The local DA for his district is opening an investigation into him.
700k campaign “donation” goes unexplained…

He’s a loon.

And there was this absolute train wreck of an interview on Fox of all places.

Identifies as “jewish” even though he was brought up as catholic!

In fairness, there have been reports of those in the vicinity of the world trade centers as they collapsed suffering from lung disease and cancer as a result of the chemicals and dust which was inhaled IIRC. Its not beyond possibility that his mother contracted a disease as a direct result of 9/11 and died multiple years after…

…however, its also possible that hes a complete loon

In his own words he jokes sometimes that he is “jew-ish”. Anyone still finding the Trump era an amusing aberration, welcome to your new norm.

To be cynically ruthless for a moment, if Joe Biden and his team, namely William Banks who was implicated in a wikileaks cable a few years ago stating Russia would deem Ukrainian entry to NATO a security threat and would react with its military, encouraged Ukraine with that knowledge then it‘s an act of geopolitical genius.

If true, he would have directly undermined, exposed and isolated Americas chief rival while uniting the West. A huge foreign policy win.

And I don’t even like Joe Biden

If that were the case, it makes Kissinger an amateur in the geopolitical intrigue stakes.

I don’t actually think the US was interested in Ukraine joining NATO. NATO membership requires unanimous support of all member states, which is nigh on impossible.

There was a realistic path for Ukraine to become a prospective EU member, but the EU process could have taken 25 years.

I personally feel that the US did everything possible to prevent the war. They didn’t want it to happen. Releasing the contents of high level intelligence intercepts to the broader public likely wiped out key assets, which is a good hint to how much they didn’t want the war.

But once it happened, they took full advantage of the situation.

Valid and plausible. My theory was pure outside speculation, which I felt was very plausible considering Banks‘ background as an expert on Russia.

Regardless, conversely Putin has committed one of the biggest geopolitical blunders of our time.

Yes, it nudges out Scotty Morrison’s single-handed destruction of our billions of dollars of exports to our biggest trading partner.

At the risk of invoking Godwin’s law, I would say it was almost Hitlerean…

Although that is not “of our time”. In my time, the thing that comes close is General Galtieri’s “look over there” domestic political distraction in the Falklands, but the repercussions of that were far less far reaching.

(Except if you were a British Coal Miner, given the role the Falklands adventure had in providing second wind to Thatcher.)
