Biden SOTU Goes Beast Mode

Victor Davis Hanson: One Angry Biden Lie After Another | ZeroHedge

If the planned Adderall-fueled screaming was to prove he was still alive, most would have preferred his drowsy incoherence.
But mostly the speech was one of abject lies as he either blamed all his disasters on others or claimed they were his greatest achievements.

Deficits? Why does he think we have high inflation and high interest rates after he took office? The debt was $28 trillion when he came in and now after just 3 years it is nearly $35—and is now growing by $1 trillion every 100 days. At the current rate a two-term Biden presidency would have in aggregate added $22 trillion more to national debt.
Ukraine? Biden started out with Ukraine, not inflation, not the border, not crime. Does he remember he suspended military aid to Ukraine upon taking office? Does he know that Putin did not invade a neighboring country in just one administration of the last four? Does he know why? Does he recall his humiliation in Afghanistan that green lighted
Putin? There are now 700,000 combined casualties in Ukraine and so what is the plan to end our Verdun? Another 6-month-long “spring offensive” against fortified lines?
Abortion? Biden screamed that the Dobbs decision outlaws abortion and threatens women’s lives when it allows any state to let its own people determine their own laws. Is Trump’s plan to let the states decide and to favor a 16-week ban more sensible than Biden’s abortion on demand that would allow some 5,000-10,000 partial birth or post-21 weeks abortions?
The Border? Do we remember Mayorkas bragging in detail how Biden rescinded all of Trump executive orders (he listed them by name) to destroy the border and let in 8-10 million illegal aliens? Biden campaigned on just that, calling on illegal aliens to “surge” the border.
Inflation? It is up 17% since he took office! Prices of the stuff of life have risen 30%—staple foods, fuel, appliances and care, shelter, mortgages. etc. January 6? In Bidenland a buffoonish afternoon riot now trumps Pearl Harbor—or the 120 days of looting, rioting, violence, death, and injury of summer 2020?
Gaza? Basically Hamas murders, rapes, tortures, and mutilates1,200 Jews, takes 250 hostages, rapes and murders untold numbers of them, is shielded by civilians beneath mosques, schools, and hospitals, and then the US blames Israel for retaliating. Biden cites bogus Hamas fatality figures, and promises to build a US port on the Gaza coast to pour in massive aid to Hamas-controlled Gaza.

This furious speech was a preview of the 2024 campaign. The Democratic nominee will run on abortion, January 6, and the ‘booming’ economy, hope leftwing prosecutors can bankrupt or incarcerate Trump, and ensure that in all the swing states 70 percent of the electorate do not vote in person on Election Day.

My own analysis, at least about the ongoing WW3. https://whigdev.com/white/index.php?threads/biden-sotu-goes-yeast-mode.4155/#post-13535

One scenario that appears to be underrated is why doesn't Putin do a first strike now with nukes? It's clearly to his military advantage -- the Atlantic Alliance is distracted and has no actual will to defend a throwaway country with Israel and the whole PNAC project on the line.

There are a few possibilities to consider in analysis:

1/ Putin sees the advantages but has scruples as a Christian on a first strike against fellow Slavs (or even NATO in general)

2/ Putin is not so much in control as it seems and the 'nuclear deterrent' is not credible (what does THAT imply?)

3/ China has veto power over both the Former Soviet Union and the Former United States now. (what does THAT imply?)

4/ No one actually has working nuclear weapons at the moment (what does THAT imply?)

5/ All realist nation-state actors involved are, in fact sane, and run by wise people despite the appearances, who know something we don't.

most likely:

War itself causes many unforseen negativ side-effects, and throws all kindsa variables and unpredictability in the calculus of national affairs. Nuclear war, many times moreso. Putler refrains from first strike nucluler escalation primarily because of this (this is probably covered in scenario five)
