Who’d have guessed our own government would deceive us? Well, I honestly think that everyone expects the government to lie to us at this point, and to that I say shame on us for the times that we believe them.
We do need to revamp our system of government, but this country is so messed up right now that I believe any attempts to do so will just make things worse. There are just too many far-left Democrats in power to make a positive and meaningful difference. I’m not suggesting that we start over, but we could certainly do more to limit the government’s power.
But back to the lying. It turns out that they’ve been lying to us about how well Ukraine has been doing in the war and how poorly Russia has been doing. They’ve been telling us that Ukraine has been doing well and Russia is on the ropes.
But besides that, Joe Biden made a public statement about Russia, a serious on at that, that is completely false.
According to NBC News,
It was an attention-grabbing assertion that made headlines around the world: U.S. officials said they had indications suggesting Russia might be preparing to use chemical agents in Ukraine.
President Joe Biden later said it publicly. But three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions.
It’s one of a string of examples of the Biden administration’s breaking with recent precedent by deploying declassified intelligence as part of an information war against Russia. The administration has done so even when the intelligence wasn’t rock solid, officials said, to keep Russian President Vladimir Putin off balance. . . .
Just this week, national security adviser Jake Sullivan stood at the White House podium and read out what officials said was more declassified intelligence, asserting that Russia’s pullout from areas around Kyiv wasn’t a retreat but a strategic redeployment that signals a significant assault on eastern and southern Ukraine, one that U.S. officials believe could be a protracted and bloody fight.
This feels like George W. Bush and Iraq and the weapons of mass destruction all over again.
The things that Biden has been saying about Russia and Vladimir Putin have been things that should never be said. I think there is only so much that he’ll put up with from this senile old man who doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut, unless there is a handler there telling him not to answer question from the people of his country which he’s supposed to represent.
