It was decades ago that USA lost any, at all, credibility regarding their military or any other intelligence. if there is no invasion, Joe would look silly with his daily predictions. So he won't look silly. Their disbanded Office of Disinformation never stopped producing it. And even the information they thought was correct was quite likely false. An even worse problem they have is hubris and thinking based on false premises. Hubris is a dangerous trap for the great and glorious. Even modest supergreat people are subject to the trap of "I think it so it must be right". Having spent a life of being the brightest person in the room, family, school, university, jobs/businesses, it's hard to assume they might be wrong. Especially since we all have no choice but to go with what we think is the best idea and information we have. Doing nothing is not an option. It is, but that's just paralysis by fear, which is also an assured failure mode. When I was about 12, we had gang wars. Thrown stones, shanghais, sticks, forts. We grew out of it. Some people don't. I have a theory that warmonger gangsters like Biden, Bolton, Bush, missed those childhood developmental experience milestones. So they are fixated in thinking unadapted to how to get along and how to run successful gangs/tribes. I found that creating a fun successful gang that people wanted to join beat nasty violent gangs. More of a Christian all in together ideology than a jihadist hatred of infidels and wish to attack. I was an atheist so it was an empirical conclusion rather than being Christian. I also used to conduct ant wars using pieces of cheese as the prize. Huge ants, tiny ants, red, black, all sorts depending on location would fo battle with the cheese at different distances between nests. I would sometimes swap the cheese position mid battle in which case it would take a little while for the winning gang to realise they had gone into a losing position and to abandon ship. That was in hot dry dusty Spain and Portugal in 1974. My wife and I were traveling for months around Europe in a van. We had zero news so had no idea east was going on. It turned out we were in the midst of two cheese battles among people = the 1974 Portugal revolution and a month or two later we learned the tanks at the Greece Turkey border and machine guns meant business over Cyprus. We met a family in Istanbul = Sezgin Burak family who told us what was going on. While passing through Yugoslavia we stopped in a town to buy food in the market. I remarked how sullen, dark and quiet the people were. Again we had no idea what was going on. A couple of decades later it made sense. I think it was Pristina. Big cheese fights! Here we are 30 years/50 years later = big cheese fights underway. I recommend my gang rules. Unfortunately, the NATO nasties don't have an off switch and missed developmental milestones. I note the cheese is very close to, and even inside the Russia nest. The USA is way over there and across a lake ... but Putin has rockets that can reach there, not to mention submarines, high speed megaton torpedoes, aircraft, prepositioned suitcases, polonium 210, novichok, ice picks, pistols ... etc.. Do Americans really want to die in Peoria to make Dementia Joe10% happy and to keep Hunter supplied with cocaine, cash and prostitutes. Mqurice
