The silence in the US press is extremely ominous. That reminds me of an old joke known to jazz musicians....
The explorer in his pith helmet is being canoed up a small river in Africa. In the distance he hears the beat of native drums. As they increase in volume he says, "Drums! Those native drums! What can this mean?" The guide replies flatly, "drums stop, very bad."
They continue up the river. As they pass a village they see no people, only totem poles made of skulls. Again our man asks, "what does this mean?" And the reply comes again, "drums stop, very bad."
As they approach a narrowing of the river there is a sudden silence. The drums have stopped! Even the birds and insects are quiet. Very concerned, our man asks the guide, "the drums! The drums have stopped! What now??" The guide solemnly replies,
Crimea is a war zone. Russia captured the area but Ukraine still considers it part of their country. What are Russian civilians doing on the beach there? Next to military assets that Ukraine could target? Sorry, the Russians have nothing to complain about. They sound like democrats endlessly complaining about non-issues, always rewriting history to suit their narrative, prattling on about threats to democracy when they themselves are the very threat they assign to others. Ugh.

Very bad.

I think the plan is to start the war before the election. The incumbent always gets a big boost from that. What other hope has he got?
I suggested that his campaign slogan be
JOE BIDEN HAS A RIGHT TO EXIST
