On COI #281, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman cover the Democrats’ lockstep anti-Russia hawkishness, the Blob’s refusal to hit the brakes, and the next target: China.

Connor breaks down hist latest column for the Libertarian Institute, the article discusses the Washington Blob’s insistence that Moscow’s repeated warnings regarding NATO’s proxy war potentially turning nuclear soon are mere bluffs.

This pattern of refusing to heed the Russian admonishments while sabotaging bilateral diplomacy only to increase weapons aid, intelligence sharing, and sanctions will inevitably lead to direct conflict between Washington and Moscow.

Before the war began, Senators, CIA, DOD, NATO, and Biden officials could be heard salivating in public statements and in newspapers about their desire to kill Russians in a drawn out, proxy war. As this war goes on, senior American officials brag in major newspapers and outlets that their battlefield intelligence provided to Kev indeed is being used to kill Russian Generals and soldiers.

There is also statements from Ukrainian officials that indicate the U.S. is preparing plans to destroy Russia’s Black Sea fleet. According to recent reporting by James Carden, despite Biden’s assurances of “no boots on the ground,” there may already be U.S. paramilitary forces deployed as well.

Connor notes some of the parallels with recent developments and tensions between the U.S. and China particularly with respect to the Taiwan issue. Washington seems intent on crossing every last redline the Russians and the Chinese draw, imperiling us all.
