On Ukraine war, Gaetz gets it…Biden blew it


Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz introduced a House resolution to end US military and financial aid to Ukraine, co-sponsored by 10 other Republican House members, but not a single Democrat. Nada, zero, zilch. His Ukraine Fatigue Resolution only represents, if passed, the sense of the House having no legal effect on US Ukraine war policy, other than the will of Congress.
Tragically, Joe Biden’s Democratic Party is in lockstep solidarity to continue its newest perpetual war till Ukraine is destroyed. It may even destroy the whole world in World War III. Gaetz referenced that ominous possible ending: "President Joe Biden must have forgotten his prediction from March 2022, suggesting that arming Ukraine with military equipment will escalate the conflict to World War III."
It is not surprising President Biden continues to expand Ukraine’s destruction and the march to Armageddon. He’s spent over half a century promoting US exceptionalism around the world, which is a nice way of saying ‘Our way or perpetual war.’ The one good thing he did was end our 20 year criminal war in Afghanistan. But he’s kept up life destroying sanctions as pay back for the Taliban routing the US and its hopelessly corrupt puppet government.
Biden proclaimed at the Afghan pullout that America was done with perpetual wars, but has continued our other perpetual wars in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Niger, with no end in sight. Then he spent the next 18 months arming Ukraine in their murderous war on Donbas Ukrainians, and promoting NATO membership for Ukraine. That was the culmination of a decades long proxy war against Russia that made their invasion a year ago virtually inevitable.
Gaetz’ Ukraine Fatigue Resolution has no chance of passage. Most Republicans are in lockstep with all Democrats enamored with a murderous and self-destructive foreign policy that is oblivious to America’s decline as the unipolar world ruler. But besides the Gaetz Ten war fatigue, tens of million Americans are just as tired of America’s perpetual wars, especially one that could go nuclear. All Americans for peace should applaud and support Gaetz’ resolution and demand the rest of Congress and Joe Biden do likewise.
