Build Back Better, Lots of spending, no solutions.

 WHAT DOES IT SAY, WHEN REVERSING ALL OF TRUMP'S POLICY'S, LEADS TO DISASTER

SPIN DOES AFFECT PUBLIC OPINION, BUT IT DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY ACTUAL RESULTS


So, tomorrow is election day and in the end it appears some will be elated and some disappointed. I expect the so called wave election will be real, but not to the point of being able to remedy the disaster enfolding both here at home or on the world stage.
 
The series of decisions and policy's implemented by this administration and his supporters will have lasting effects, some possibly not reversible, particularly for the next two years.

Actually what was the policy of this administration? It was to reverse all the policy's implemented by Donald Trump. Actually, no positive policy of its own.

It's priority of enormous spending and its first priority to eliminate fossil fuels with no alternative, set off the worst inflation in 40 years. Not only here but worldwide.

Its policy's have result in chaos both here and abroad. Now the best than we can hope for is to take the baton away from the "conductor of chaos" until his term expires, but there will not be any power to reverse course. From past responses, we can expect a doubling down of executive orders and hateful language conducted toward Americans with opposing opinions.

It is still not certain the country will survive this presidency?

While here at home, we are focusing on inflation, disrupted supply chains, the collapse of the countries work ethic and an array of disastrous social policies, coupled with an out of control immigration problem, flooding of the country with deadly drugs and crime exploding all across the country, all with direct roots in this administration and his parties policies. The real nightmare is what has been done to Europe. 

Biden has been very effective at convincing the EU and NATO to unite in putting the final touches on the establishment's plan to destroy Russia as we know it. To overthrow the government and possibly dismember the country. 

This situation could have been avoided if only to recognize the legitimate concerns of Russia concerning NATO expansion, a problem that has been festering for at least 25 years. Our experts have been implementing this plan for some time to contain and wage economic and political war with Russia. It has now all come to fruition in Ukraine.

While the population here had been bombarded with anti-Russian propaganda for decades, the invasion of Ukraine was the culmination of this devious plan. It was hoped that Russia would invade and attempt to occupy the country. It would then be subjected to western world sanctions, forcing a Russian economic collapse and then retribution from the allies.

Things have not exactly gone as planned, while Russia did seem to be not sure of its course of action in Ukraine, it became evident that while they could have destroyed the entire infrastructure of Ukraine in a very short time, they did not. They fought hard in the eastern provinces which were actually at war since 2014, a fact little reported in the western media. They seemed to avoid any all out battles. Often withdrawing and holding. All this is reported as Ukraine' imminent victory. The Russian's are running out of supplies, the soldiers have no food, Russia will collapse if only we send more money and weapons.

Now winter is approaching, all of western Europe and possibly here at home, there will be disastrous shortages of energy. The maintenance of the Ukrainian government is costing the U.S. and Europe $5 billion a month. Over $100 billion in  assistance has been provided. The supply of weapons in NATO countries has been diminished.  With supply problems, we will not be able to replace our weapons for 5 years. The Russian economy has not collapsed, it has actually been damaged only moderately.

It is very likely that the UK with the help of the U.S. blew up the Nord stream pipeline to dissuade Germany from opening the pipeline. Attacks on Russian infrastructure has resulted in retaliation that has destroyed much of Ukraine's electric distribution. And there is no end in sight.

It interesting that Russia has not yet destroyed the transportation system in Ukraine, they have not shut down electric generation and they still supply energy to Ukraine and western Europe. 

More objective observers have noted that Russia is slowly grinding down the Ukrainian army, has actually destroyed most of their best units. They have still fought a limited war, and hardly touched much of the infrastructure. I expect that they believe that one day they will again be neighbors with Ukraine. 

So the question remains, what is the limit of Europe and U.S. assistance, Will we watch as Europe slips into economic ruin or will the plan escalate and attempt to settle this with an all out NATO response? A response that will have disastrous results for the world. Not maybe, but for sure.

We are now in a situation were neither side can back down without serious political damage. A serious situation, that real diplomats understand that is position you never want to get into. Opportunities early on to avoid this were dismissed, now the next move is going to be on the part of the U.S. and Europe. 

Experienced diplomats, which are now in short supply in Washington and London, have advised this dispute needed to be settled by negotiation before winter. Their advise has been rejected, now winter is approaching, serious decisions will need to be made soon. Can we have faith that this administration has the competence to make the right decisions?
