Ukraine invaded the Kursk region of Russia earlier this month. The U.S. government claims the Ukrainians didn’t consult the Americans about this “incursion.” Nevertheless, the Ukrainians crossed the Russian border with British tanks and American armor.
Should we be happy about this development? Senator Lindsey Graham believes we should be delighted. He called the Kursk offensive “bold, brilliant, and beautiful” and added, “Putin started this. Kick his ass.”
Pardon me for not popping the champagne corks over the expansion of the Ukraine war, a war that has dragged on for two and a half years and produced more than a million casualties. I have no interest in kicking Vladimir Putin’s ass, and I’m emphatically opposed to American involvement in stoking a senseless war with a nuclear power–a war that might eventually involve my grandchildren.
Ukraine’s conflict with Russia was fomented by the United States when the CIA meddled in Ukrainian politics in 2014. Although it’s true that Russia initially tried to take over all of Ukraine when it invaded in February 2022, the fight now is essentially a border dispute over the Donbas, where most residents speak Russian as their first language.
We Americans have become a feckless and frivolous people governed by fools. At the moment, we are enthralled and enchanted by Vice President Kamala Harris, a chronic giggler, and Governor Tim Walz, a union hack from Minnesota, who allowed a large section of his state’s largest city to burn down.
Most Americans seem unphased by the fact that the U.S. government is pouring billions of dollars into two wars that could have been prevented if America had behaved like a strong and confident world power. Our national debt is growing by a trillion dollars every 100 days. Yet, presidential candidate Kamala Harris thinks the U.S. Treasury has enough loose change lying about to give all first-time homebuyers $25,000.
Meanwhile, anti-Semitic lunatics are roaming our universities in support of racist terrorists, making a mockery of higher education’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” agenda.
The Ukraine war will end badly–not only for the Russians and the Ukrainians but for Americans as well. The era of Pax Americana is coming to an end, and the end is coming sooner than most people think.
