There are very few things that can unite a nation like a dangerous foreign enemy can.  Needless to say, Joe Biden and his minions desperately need a way to get the American people to rally behind them, because right now Biden's approval numbers are steadily falling.  If the Biden administration stays on the path that it is currently on, there will be no second term.  A really big "pattern interrupt" is desperately needed, and there aren't too many options that would fit the bill at this point.  However, if a war in Europe suddenly erupted, that would have the potential to change all of the narratives surrounding the Biden administration very rapidly.

If the Biden administration and other western leaders really wanted to solve the crisis with Russia, it would be so easy to do.  In exchange for a guarantee that Russia will not invade Ukraine, we would agree that Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO and that we will not station our missiles there.

It could all be over in 10 minutes, but such an agreement is not going to happen.

Instead, the Biden administration appears to be making preparations for a war to begin.  On Thursday, the U.S. State Department warned all U.S. citizens to leave Ukraine immediately…

That certainly sounds rather ominous.

And U.S. officials continue to use extremely harsh rhetoric when talking about this crisis.  For example, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman just went on television and stated that "Vladimir Putin should understand body bags will come back to Moscow" if Russia decides to invade Ukraine…
