War criminal Bush back promoting senseless war

One would think George W. Bush, having gotten hundreds of thousands of Afghans and Iraqis killed in his 2001 and 2003 criminal wars there, would exit the perpetual war arena.

But this week he’s back at it, meeting with Ukraine Zelensky at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas. He will be advocating more endless billions in weapons to Ukraine which will exceed $100 billion with the upcoming $37 billion giveaway the Lame Duck Congress will pass by year end.

David Kramer, managing director for global policy at the George W. Bush Institute, pitched the joint appearance saying “Ukraine is the frontline in the struggle for freedom and democracy. President Bush believes in standing with Ukraine.”

What President Bush means by ‘standing’ is standing on the sidelines without offering a single US soldier or attack on Russia to stop the destruction of Ukraine as a functioning state. Massive US weaponry, much of which disappears before reaching the war zone, ensures the war will continue till the last Ukrainian soldier exits the battlefield.

If Bush was really willing to stand with Ukraine, he’d call out President Zelensky for his recent false flag ruse, claiming an errant Ukraine missile that killed 2 in Poland, was actually fired by Russia. That is Zelensky’s most serious provocation yet, among many demanding the US engage Russia directly, that could trigger all-out war between NATO and Russia.

While Bush will promote endless weapons for Ukraine, he’ll likely not offer one word on the only policy that can end the war, short of Ukraine’s complete collapse: negotiations.

Bush is all in for US policy of weakening Russia thru proxy war using Ukraine to accomplish the weakening. He knows this plays well with the US national security state seeking to maintain US unipolar dominance in the world. He also knows that having suffered no consequences from his 2 murderous wars, he can partner with the reckless President Zelensky to keep our proxy war against Russia raging unabated.

Public shouldn’t get vote allowing criminal behavior

On January 6, 2021, Trump incited an insurrection at the Capital which got folks killed in a failed attempt at overturning his election defeat. Two days later he was permanently banned from Twitter to prevent any recurrence of such violence inciting rhetoric on that platform. Twitter didn’t mince words: “After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

The ban lasted just 22 months when new Twitter owner Elon Musk put Trump’s permanent ban up or a flash 24 hour vote. When just 52% of the 14 million voters supported Trump’s return, Musk quickly rescinded the ban tweeting: “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”

What Musk gets wrong is that once a person shouts “Fire” in a crowded theater, his privilege to return to that or any theater for a possible repeat performance, should not be up to popular vote, god or no god.
