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.
