VDH - Fiddling America Away |
2023-04-11 |
Friends tremble at our sudden decline. Enemies rejoice. Neutrals make the necessary adjustments to join the ascendant non-American side. The symptoms of our decline abroad appear everywhere. The more Joe Biden brags about the crippling oil sanctions on Russia, friends like India and allies like Japan ignore them. And why not, when Biden has no idea how long the war in Ukraine will last, or how much wherewithal the United States can, should, or will give Kyiv, or how its on-to-Red-Square blank check will finally end? Big Biden talks about more solar and wind farms, and green new deals won’t fill the gas tanks in Munich or heat the homes of Kyoto, or lower the price of imported oil in the United Kingdom. Claiming the Afghanistan mess was a success fools no one. Allies ask who are our leaders. An impaired Joe Biden who never is quite sure where he is, what he is doing, or whom he is with? Kamala Harris, whose only interests appear to be demagoguing racial and social tensions with a shrinking vocabulary? Senator John Fetterman (D-Penn.), who was elected on the argument it was unkind not to vote for a candidate who was physically and mentally impaired? Energy Department kingpin Sam Brinton, the cross-dresser in lipstick, now charged with felonies for stealing women’s luggage at airport carousels? Pete Buttigieg, our transportation secretary, who virtue signals melodramas of the past when he is clueless how to fix crises in the present? Oligarchs will oligarch. There's no need for them to live in the squalid, urban farrowing houses which they have created. They have their villas in Tuscony, Bern, and Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche. |

#2 Truth be told. The U.S .restrictions on Russian Oil will punish the U.S. at the pumps more than it does Russia. Russia, will just sell it to nations that are fed up with the Far Left Biden Coup, while getting more for it in the process. PLUS! High U.S. fuel prices fuel high inflation, while helping the LSD Green Agenda in pushing thru energy alternatives. |
