They're busy aiding and abetting Israel's genocide. They're playing the long game with Russia. The Eastern world has been ridiculously tolerant of the US empire's wars around the world. How much longer will their patience last🤔
If you posit a President who is absent and unmanaged bureaucracy, is it possible that two branches, DOD and State, are working at cross purposes? I have suspected the same dynamic may have been at work in the Afghanistan withdrawal. Separately, a Russian response neednt be so blunt as a direct attack on a NATO country. It seems like a lot of the messaging around who can and cant operate missiles is establishing the idea that NATO set the precedent for the supplier to assist a proxy in an attack. I would think this might make NATO military bases potential targets if the provocations continue.
The US has also proven that it isn't as desperate as some people, myself included, earlier thought that it was.
They're only just now considering long-range weapons for Ukraine 2,5 years after the proxy war began in earnest.
That's because they're reluctant to escalate in a way that risks provoking Russia into "overreacting" by sparking World War III.
What nobody who thinks the US wants World War III so badly can answer is why it's only just now doing all of this stuff?
Why not send F-16s, ATACMS, HIMARS, long-range weapons, etc. right after the SMO began? Why wait until now? What's the point in dragging it out?
If they want World War III, why don't they just launch a first strike? Why go through all these motions, which are prolonged instead of rapid at that?
Because their death throes confuse them?
In all seriousness, you're quite right, and I'm sure Putin's adult patience will prevail.
