Busting The Myth That Our Leaders Have Any Idea What They’re Doing

First of all, let me address the assumption you might have had that the people running The United States are intelligent. Let it be known that all along their plan was to sanction Russia to death so that their economy would fall apart and the Russian people would rise up and overthrow Vladimir Putin. Russia has just overtaken Japan to become the fourth-largest economy in the world, up from 11th before the war in Ukraine started. There is not a European country (other than Russia) in the top five. Do a search on the EU’s largest economy (Germany) and you will see words like “sputtering,” “shaky ground,” “struggling,” “worst performing,” etc. The U.S. may not have shot themselves in the foot, but like Dick Cheney, they shot their friends in the face. Fortunately for the U.S., the leaders of Europe are even dumber than ours and wouldn’t think of saying anything about it.

The truth is, the people who have been calling the shots regarding Russia and our foreign policy in general have failed miserably. The same people and the same ideologies that had us entangled in a useless twenty-year occupation of Afghanistan have done nothing BUT fail for decades now. For God’s sake, they lost to the Taliban. If their intention was to protect Ukraine from Russia (it wasn’t) then they have spent decades failing at that. If, on the other hand, it was their intention to weaken Russia through a proxy war, that has also backfired miserably. If they thought they could isolate Russia from the rest of the world, guess what…
