Patriot,

Last week, the war in Ukraine, which has been fought for over 15
months now, took a dangerous turn.

Days after the longest, bloodiest battle in the 21st century -
the battle for the strategic city of Bakhmut - ended with Russia
capturing the city, a company of Ukrainian forces attempted an
incursion into Russian territory, in a border village in
Belgorod.

The attempt was unsuccessful, but what made it a dangerous
development was that some of the vehicles and equipment used were
American. Although Washington gave clear directives that American
supplies were not to be used for attacks on Russian territory,
there it was, and Russia is unlikely to be persuaded by any
claims that this was a "rogue" operation.

To understand the gravity of this, imagine how we would react if
Russian weapons were used in a third-party attack on American
soil. We would take it as an act of war.

That is why, as I argue in my latest column, it's a good thing
that President Biden is running out of money for his Ukraine
debacle.

As I've said all along, funding this war was a terrible mistake,
and we have only thrown good money after bad in our effort to
defeat Russia militarily and economically.

If the conflict continues to escalate, the unthinkable threat of
nuclear war only grows. Let's hope that new funding for this
debacle becomes politically untenable in Congress before things
get any worse.

Read my latest column below, and please support Campaign for
Liberty's continued efforts to oppose funding for this war and
advocate a non-interventionist foreign policy.

Biden's Running Out of Ukraine Money? Good.

When the smoke finally clears, President Biden's Ukraine debacle
will go down - along with Afghanistan and Iraq - as one of the
greatest foreign policy disasters in U.S. history. Hundreds of
thousands have been killed on both sides in the service of the
U.S. neocons' long standing desire to "regime change" Russia.

And let's not forget that $100 billion authorized by Congress to
finance the neocons' "Project Ukraine."

With Russian control established in the strategic city of Bakhmut
over the weekend, the neocon Ukraine project - like all neocon
foreign policy projects before it - looks to be progressing
rapidly toward failure. But that won't stop the Biden
Administration from attempting to extort more money from an
America already teetering on the brink of economic collapse. And
let's not forget the battle over the "debt limit" raging in DC.

The Biden Administration's profligate domestic spending is a
battleground for Republican lawmakers, however when it comes to
endless spending on Project Ukraine, with a few exceptions the
two parties are in lockstep. At least when looking at Republican
party leadership.

One thing is sure: we can count on Congress to throw good money
after bad. After all, 20 years fighting the Taliban in
Afghanistan got us…the Taliban in Afghanistan! With a cost
of perhaps three trillion dollars. But the military-industrial
complex and the think tanks pushing war and the mainstream media
glorifying war all got paid well.

It may seem bleak, but this is where we have something to be
optimistic about. As I've always said, you don't need a majority
to change the course of the country. A dedicated minority driven
by the principles of liberty can produce incredible results.

The mainstream media is in a panic over the fact that of the $48
billion appropriated for Ukraine, only $6 billion remains. That
won't be enough to sustain "Project Ukraine" for more than a few
weeks. With the tide of U.S. public opinion turning
overwhelmingly against throwing more money down the corrupt black
hole called "Ukraine," even unprincipled politicians are going to
start listening to the emerging progressive/conservative alliance
in Congress that's had enough.

In Congress a principled multipolar minority is going to overtake
a corrupt and mindless majority - bolstered by the American
people. And that's a good thing.

Election season is upon us, and although we would prefer to have
recruited a majority of progressives and
conservative/libertarians in Congress to our view that a hundred
billion to Ukraine and possible World War III is not a good idea,
we must nevertheless be satisfied that political realities are in
our favor.

The communists talked about the "correlation of forces," which
took into account factors beyond military power to include
politics and "soft power." With that in mind, it seems likely
that as the public mood in the U.S. turns against sending endless
billions to a corrupt Ukraine with the threat of World War III in
the mix, the political animals in DC will begin abandoning the
sinking ship.

With President Biden clearly flailing - and with the surprisingly
strong primary challenge of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - we should
look for lawmakers to begin abandoning "Project Ukraine" in
droves. That movement, led by principled conservatives and
progressives, will sink forever the neocon "Project Ukraine" and
thus save us from global nuclear annihilation. Hopefully after
this disaster, Americans will turn against neocons one and for
all.
