Proxy War, No More
Sloppy Joe Puts the World on the Edge of WWIII--No Trust in Him Pulling Us From the Brink
War is a barbaric tool of the war profiteers and Empires who employ them. War pits young people from the working class against other similarly poor, or disadvantaged humans, for nothing but the greed of the few. Only we the people can make war obsolete by not participating in the profound crimes of the profiteers and other war mongers.
Joe Biden Escalating War with Russia: Activating 3k Reserve
Wow, Sloppy Joe Biden. Just when I thought he couldn't possibly become more of a warmonger, he goes ahead and activates 3k reserve to send to Europe in Operation Atlantic Resolve. War Biden is really doing the most to escalate this war. And for what? Let me tell you, as an antiwar activist, why this is a terrible idea.
Firstly, let's talk about Operation Atlantic Resolve. Sloppy Joe is touting it as a “show of support” for Europe, but in reality, it's just another move towards provoking Russia. This operation already involves approximately 6,000 US troops and countless military vehicles in Europe, mainly in Poland and the Baltic states. It’s all part of US/NATO’s policy of encircling Russia with military forces, which has always been a source of tension in the region. By activating 3k more reserve, War Biden is effectively saying "let's keep poking the bear."
Secondly, let's talk about the cost. You know what's a better use of those taxpayer dollars? Healthcare. Education. Affordable housing.Infrastructure. The list goes on. Instead, the USA is spending it on sending more troops to Europe in a bid to escalate this unnecessary conflict. It's not like we have the money to burn, especially after the shamdemic.

Thirdly, there's the issue of what exactly we're sending 3k reserve for. How is this helping Europe? It's not like they're in imminent danger. No, this is purely to antagonize Russia, another step towards another conflict that we don't need and certainly can't afford. The US government is trying to dress this up as "defending Europe" when in reality, it's just another way of throwing their weight around and making a very few, very wealthy.
And let's not forget about the human cost. We're sending 3,000 reserve soldiers overseas, away from their families and loved ones, just to further some pointless political agenda. It's unconscionable. Politicians are historically hell-bent on misusing and using up U.S. military forces as cannon fodder, or assassins for corporate interests.
Sloppy Joe’s decision to activate 3k reserve to send to Europe in Operation Atlantic Resolve is yet another escalation in another barbaric and unnecessary conflict. It's anti-democratic, anti-humanitarian, and anti-sense. As antiwar activists, we should speak out against this kind of aggressively brutal foreign policy. We should push for world peace instead of sabre-rattling. We should demand that our elected officials start thinking about the well-being of humans instead of their own greed. Sloppy Joe is perfectly content to extract as much profit as possible, even to the last Ukrainian.
Ukraine is not “winning” and Russia is not “losing.” War is intrinsically a losing proposition for all sides.
Enough is enough.

I've shared this with a young man I (kind of) know who is a sucker for mainstream media bullshit. I pray it makes him start to question. I despair at those who remain blind to the freaking obvious.
After numerous spectacular military 'failures' since WWII, the in-your-face flamboyantly obvious truth is undeniable, which is that the point of war isn't to win; the point of war is to be at war, which is why the U.S. mires itself in wars with no exit plan. And when the U.S. does finally 'leave', the professional warmongers bawl and thrash like petulant toddlers. With 78 years of this insane criminality to look back on, only the most obdurate denialism fails to see it for what it is: venal war profiteering for the hegemony of the plutocratic ruling class. It's well documented that since WWII, the U.S. has been running a worldwide protection RACKET, just like a local mafia, but with larger ambitions and bigger weapons. Tragically, nobody refuses to see a naked truth more willingly and stridently than today's liberal class.
