• Germany wakes up.

    BRUSSELS — In one of the most significant shifts in European security
    policy in decades, Germany announced Sunday it was committing $113
    billion to a special armed forces fund and would keep its defense
    spending above 2 percent of GDP from now on, a move brought on by
    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    That - and the fact that Biden (we knew sanctions would not work) is
    worthless. He is at his home in Delaware mumbling and dribbling oatmeal
    on his bib.

    President Trump bitched about their lack of holding up their end of the
    bargain and threatened to pull out of NATO. And, now, Brandon has
    effectively done just that.

    German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s announcement of new defense funding is significant for Germany, which has come under criticism from the United
    States and other NATO allies for not investing adequately in its defense budget. NATO member states committed to spending 2 percent of their GDP
    on defense, but Germany has consistently spent much less.

    “It’s clear we need to invest significantly more in the security of our country, in order to protect our freedom and our democracy,” Scholz told
    a special session of the Bundestag in Berlin.

    They are acting is if Bumbling Brandon is not on top of the situation
    and will not have their back. I think they have lost faith and no longer believe Biden when he said,

    "Putin knows that when I am president of the United States his days of
    tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern
    Europe are over,"

    Putin knew better and now so does NATO. Germany has just had an
    "Oh - Shit" moment as Russia goes on nuclear alert while Brandon is at
    home in Delaware blissfully ignorant and enjoying his weekend.

    But, hey, on the bright side - Brandon isn't Trump.

    Řbama portrayed that as a success - and his acolytes in and out of the
    media touted it as a great success. I'm anxious to see how this is
    spun, especially if it gets worse.

    Unfortunately, I suspect that he is too far gone to realize that, or
    anything else for that matter. As long as his oatmeal is warm and not
    lumpy he probably doesn't have a care in the world.

    Remember Clint Eastwood in his spaghetti westerns? Does Biden's squint

    Superficially yes, however the illusion is broken when he leans into the microphone and whispers. That was creepy - and crazy. Luckily his
    handlers seem to have broken him from that habit.

    Since you brought up Eastwood I've been trying to imagine Brandon
    squinting and leaning into the microphone and whispering, "I know what
    you're thinking Vlad. You are asking yourself - has he shot his wad with sanctions, or does he have another round chambered?" "I honestly don't remember, therefore the question is, Are you feeling lucky? - Well are
    you Punk?"

    That was definitely a HawHawHaw moment for me.

    Words of wisdom.

    Ol' Joe may just have to do that very thing?

    Since you end with a "?" I assume that you are asking a question.
    Shit - Bumblin' Brandon is more interested in regular bowel movements
    than he is about world affairs.

    Guess it's too late for you to move to Russia, huh?

    Why would I want to do that? Bumblin' Brandon is only going to be
    around for three more years - if that long. And, after the mid-terms
    the Dems will be irrelevant as far as policy is concerned.

    I'm hoping there's a Gen. Miley, somewhere in the Kremlin who can
    stop their Rooski madman leader from the crazy, drunken, tantrum
    of realizing his plan just wasn't going to work... He might very likely >consider taking everyone else to hell with him?

    He might - he has signaled that possibility. That is a bluff we won't
    call.

    From what I've been seeing, and hearing, his plan seems to be working. I
    doubt that he is going to see the light, pull out, go home, apologize,
    give back the Crimean Peninsula, pay reparations, and then in the throes
    of his angst publicly hang himself.

    Rooski? You just can't help letting your prejudices show.

    I'd be a lot happier if there was not a Gen. Miley, or any of his ilk
    anywhere in the Galley. The same holds for John Kerry - except I'd be
    OK if he was just put back on Easter Island. The Moai are missing their
    idiot.
