Mr. Biden's War
Nothing else matters at the End of the World...
Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more!"
~ Fortunate Son, by Creedence Clearwater Revival (1969)
Joel Bowman with today’s Note From the End of the World: Buenos Aires, Argentina...
Speaking of the End of the World... has anybody checked Joe Biden’s meds recently? (Or Hunter Biden’s cocaine stash?)
Apparently not content with having detonated his own political party at home, the Warmonger In Chief now appears bent on dragging the whole world to the brink of nuclear annihilation before he shuffles from the Oval Office in a couple of months.
From NATO’s newswire of choice, Reuters:
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden's administration has allowed Ukraine to use U.S.-made weapons to strike deep into Russia, two U.S. officials and a source familiar with the decision said on Sunday, in a significant reversal of Washington's policy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Ukraine plans to conduct its first long-range attacks in the coming days, the sources said, without revealing details due to operational security concerns.
Headless Chickenhawks
Mere hours after Washington gave the green light, those missiles lit up the eastern skies, blasting deep into Russian territory. They included U.S.-made long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and, as of yesterday, British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
Who said ol’ Joe Reaper can’t still “get ‘er done”? This is a man, after all, whose career lowlights include goading the US Senate into funding the quagmire in Iraq, as well as supporting bombing campaigns in Serbia and Montenegro and, as Vice President, strikes in both Libya and Syria.
Yessir, with millions of corpses piled high on his bloodstained resumé, Biden’s is the kind of foreign policy record that should be hung alongside those of the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas and Cheneys, et al. Hang ‘em good and hang ‘em high, we say.
But wait, there’s more!
It’s not only supersonic ballistic missiles on the outgoing President’s Christmas list. He also approved the Ukraine’s use of anti-personnel landmines (which the US just happens to have lying around in convenient stockpiles), a move that has drawn sharp criticism from international human rights organizations.
Remarked Ben Linden, a top official with Amnesty International USA:
“It is devastating, and frankly shocking, that President Biden made such a consequential and dangerous decision just before his public service legacy is sealed for the history books.”
Added Hichem Khadhraoui, executive director of the Center for Civilians in Conflict advocacy group:
“Anti-personnel landmines are indiscriminate weapons that kill and maim civilians, and especially children, for generations after wars end. These weapons cannot distinguish between civilians and combatants as required by international humanitarian law.”
Alas, Washington’s appetite for war at all (Ukrainian) costs comes precisely as Ukrainians themselves – you know, those warm, dismembered bodies bleeding out on the front lines – express their human, all too human desire for the war to end. This, from Responsible Statecraft:
A new Gallup study indicates that most Ukrainians want the war with Russia to end. After more than two years of fighting, 52% of those polled indicated that they would prefer a negotiated peace rather than continuing to fight.
Throughout the country, Kyiv polled the highest in support of a continued fight with Russia at 47%, and the eastern regions of Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhya all polled just 27% in support. Every region in the country polled below 50%.
Never mind what the Ukrainians themselves want, Mr. Biden and his soulless ghouls howl. It’s ours to decide… and theirs to die! For when soldiers in far away lands and wailing mothers clenching brave sons’ hands dare ask, “How much should we give?” the answer from the beltway chickenhawks is always and forever the same:
“More, more, more, more!”
Cui Bono?
Of course, there’s always more to the story than meets the eye. The curious mind might be left to wonder, for example...
Why would an outgoing US president, one who was obliged to withdraw his own candidacy for reelection owing to demonstrable cognitive impairment, seek to escalate a conflict in a far off land that poses zero security risk to his own nation?
Why would a man who can barely find his own mouth with a plastic spoon approve such ghastly weapons, which stand in direct contravention to international humanitarian laws, to do so?
And perhaps above all, as the famous Roman judge Lucius Cassius was fond of asking, “Cui bono?”
That is, “who benefits” from the protracted conflict... and from repeatedly dodging the negotiating table?
Ah, now the saw draws closer to the bone.
In the days immediately following the US election earlier this month, news crept across the wires that must have chilled NATO’s blood-lusting desk warriors to their cold, dark hearts. Putin was (once again) ready to pursue peace talks, on the radically reasonable condition that US-led NATO withdraw its ballistic missiles from Moscow’s doorstep and allow the Ukraine to remain a neutral zone.
Reuters again:
MOSCOW, Nov 20 - Vladimir Putin is open to discussing a Ukraine ceasefire deal with Donald Trump but rules out making any major territorial concessions and insists Kyiv abandon ambitions to join NATO, five sources with knowledge of Kremlin thinking told Reuters.
The news came after Donald Trump pledged throughout his campaign to swiftly end the conflict “on day one” of his presidency, an outcome that must keep Biden’s Deep State puppeteers in cold sweats each and every night.
Nothing Else Matters
So here we are, 1,000 days into the gruesome war, with an estimated 600,000 Ukrainians dead, millions injured, and countless millions displaced, never to return to their razed homeland, and the rabid maw of America’s Military Industrial Complex is not yet sated.
But where, our dear readers might be asking, is the so-called “anti-war left” in all this? Where are the Forest Gump-like scenes of mass protests lining the National Mall in DC? Where are the peaceniks with their “No Nukes” signs, blasting Dylan and Creedence Clearwater Revival from the rattling speakers of dad’s smoke-filled station wagon?
It goes without saying that the Deep State goons and their invertebrate minions in the Legacy Media want nothing more than for Homo Credulous to remain distracted by divisive bread and circuses at home while they dig another million shallow graves in distant lands. As long as the Offense Contractors in Bethesda and McClean and Falls Church have order books to fill, government marionettes will always find villains in need of “shock and awe” campaigns afar.
But regardless of whether you voted Republican or Democrat (or not at all!) in the last election, whether you think boys should be allowed in girl’s locker rooms or whether Trump really is a fascist after all, just remember:
Gender neutral pronouns don’t matter...
Just Stop Oil doesn’t matter...
Kellogg's Froot Loops don’t matter...
Non-farm payrolls don’t matter...
Vaccine mandates don’t matter...
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) doesn’t matter...
Trade wars with China don’t matter...
Crypto “to the moon” doesn’t matter...
12 million illegal immigrants don’t matter...
My body, my choice doesn’t matter...
Dow 50,000 doesn’t matter...
Make America Great Again doesn’t matter...
Fed policy doesn’t matter...
The Greatest Political Experiment of Our Time doesn’t matter…
$36 trillion in national debt doesn’t matter...
Building a single new pediatric hospital anywhere on the planet doesn’t matter...
...if we are all vaporized in a nuclear armageddon.
End the war. Stop the killing. Peace in our time. Now pass it on…
Until next time, stay tuned for more Notes From the End of the World...
Cheers,
Joel Bowman

The last few lines are chilling to the bone .How can We leave Our lives in single mans hand.? Yes I know that He has "handlers" . But for the world to die for some ideology is beyond My comprehension. Oh for Divine intervention!
Yes Joel, if anyone had any doubts about the absolute insanity of these American leftists, here comes demented Joe in his final moments in government to cement his corrupt legacy in history. He proved himself to be a loyal servant of the Obamanation, and continued his anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-constitutional, ant-human assault on our Republic and our world, just to prove to his handlers how loyal he is to the globalist cause before heading down in history as the first falsely elected president to help “Fundamentally Transform America “ into the third world shithole is has become. The absolute worst president we could have ever had forced on the American people. Our hope now is to turn around all the corrupt leftists policies, undue the corrupt leftist agencies and government, and hopefully incarcerate all the treasonous criminals who have committed these atrocities against our Country. These criminals know that only a world war can save them, and as we now witness, are willing to burn down the world to make it the hell they strived for their entire lives…
