Marc Abear: US funding Ukraine war is putting kids, grandkids in debt

To The Daily Sun,

Remember when voting for Donald Trump was a vote for World War III? Some voted for the alternative. How’s that turned out? Let’s review some of what they got.

Jens Stoltenberg, the head of NATO, did an interview with The Economist in which he made the following comment, he “... called on NATO allies supplying weapons to Ukraine to end their prohibition on using them to strike military targets in Russia. Mr. Stoltenberg’s clear, if unnamed, target was the policy maintained by Joe Biden, America’s president, of controlling what Ukraine can and cannot attack with American-supplied systems.”

Here’s the question: When you supply the weapons and control their use aren’t you de facto running the war?

We are borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars to do this. It is driving inflation domestically. It is putting kids and grandkids in debt to do it. Is that what they voted for?

Who knows if Mr. Volodymyr Zelensky will be able to bring NATO troops into direct conflict with Russia? It would be an escalation. What we know is: Biden is fumbling his Ukraine War. It has emboldened Vladimir Putin. It is also bringing together an alliance of U.S. enemies, further destabilizing the world.

That growing military alliance consists of Russia, North Korea, China and Iran. They are cooperating through the BRICS alliance implying, at least trade support, from India, Brazil, and South Africa. Don’t look now but that’s more than 40% of the world’s population and trade.

Who knows what North Korea and China are going to do this year? Biden has said America will defend Taiwan from invasion. But he also said he had an “ironclad” alliance with Israel ... just days before instituting an arms boycott of Israel, our oldest ally in the Middle East. But, “orange man bad,” right?
