I don’t see progressives here or on Twitter or in the Cathedral condemning the Biden administration for authorizing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia or for Ukraine using that authorization to actually fire long-range missiles into Russia, thus bringing the world to the brink of WWIII (see Will WWIII Begin in Eurasia?).
Where does principle exist in this crowd? To be sure, any side that will erase women as a sex class can be presumed to lack principle altogether, but I have in the past heard a lot of antiwar noise from the folx. When it was Bush and Cheney doing the warmongering, they were in the streets raising a ruckus. Of course, that was before the Democratic Party made perfectly clear that they had become the party of Bush and Cheney.
Anthony Blinken, US Secretary of State, and Jake Sullivan, US National Security Advisor, are behind this and both should stand before a tribunal to answer for their crimes against humanity. Biden should stand before the same tribunal, except that he’s a potato who doesn’t know what room he’s in at any given moment. For the same reason the government didn’t bring him to trial for his theft of classified documents, they would likely leave him be for authorizing a state the CIA and State Department installed in Ukraine in 2014 to fire US-made missiles into Russia.
However, Barack Obama is still of sound mind and body. Since Obama was President when the CIA and State overthrew the democratically-elected government of Ukraine in the Maidan Revolution (see History and Sides-Taking in the Russo-Ukrainian War), he should stand before the tribunal and made to answer for his wicked deeds.
