EVERYTHING JOE TOUCHES TURNS INTO…..
October 30,2022
The Nordstream sabotage: ‘So all of our recent sacrifices paying for higher gas prices to cut the carbon in the atmosphere have gone to waste with one more Joe disaster.’
One can not read the news or turn on TV without seeing or hearing of another Biden disaster. One wonders how one old man with limited energy, more time vacationing away from the Oval Office than any other recent president, faltering memory, and low mental acuity could accomplish so much bad stuff in such a short time.
From the intensifying war in Ukraine, to frightening missile launches from North Korea, and the instability in Europe stemming from raging inflation and shortages of essential energy sources, as well as the threat of world famine in parts of Africa, all contribute to the generalized fear of what new “bad stuff” will happen next with Calamity Joe a the helm of state?
At home, the latest economic figures reassert the hard fact of a falling GDP, surging inflation, stock market plunges, and the threat of a looming recession. Then too the southern border remains an open wound though which millions of illegals wander, some carrying bags of “rainbow” fentanyl which may wind up in our kid’s Halloween baskets. The Biden team sweeps up milling crowds of illegals at the border into “secret night flights” to disperse these embarrassing multitudes and their appearances of invasion, landing them at night in all points in the nation. Others are packed into Texas-supplied buses by border governors and sent to progressive urban enclaves in the Northeast where the “sanctuary city”residents complain about being “overwhelmed” and turn them away. Then too there is the senseless surge of vicious crime and violence on our urban streets adding fear to one’s daily trip to work. That fear is coupled with the persistent rise in prices of everything one wishes to purchase from food to toiletries, medicines and other essentials adding to the general decline in the quality of life. Added to these insults is the anger consumers experience who finally realize the terrible bite that inflation takes from their pocket books, forcing them to make anguished decisions on expenditures for gasoline, heating fuel, food. medicine or shoes for young Jerry.
But Joe is still at it, continuing to generate more suffering here as well as overseas, as he gaffs and stumbles his way though his presidency. (Most recently, he again underscored his failing mental acuity by calling out to a two month long deceased member of Congress, by name— to the surprise and puzzlement of his audience.)
Today (Oct 30, 2022) we learn of “Calamity Joe” Biden’s latest disaster. This “green President” has added a massive “and unprecedented climate disaster” to his list by being directly responsible for or sanctioning the Nordstream sabotage . Claimed by the UN to be the worst release of greenhouse gas in world history.
It is becoming apparent now that Biden’s team or their close ally Ukraine appears to be the most likely candidates responsible for sabotage of the Nordstream gas lines, the undersea gas pipeline which had been supplying Germany with Russian gas for heating and industrial use and which was a threat to US gas sales to the EU. Many now believe that Biden had either agreed to, or initiated the recent sabotage to both the NordStream I and II gas lines. Their main evidence has been both foreign and domestic news sources which have dug up and recast on TV Joe’s past verbal threat against the Russian pipelines ( Biden press conference, 2/22: “We will bring it to an end”). Both his Press Secretary ( Karine Jean-Pierre) and Security advisor (Victoria Nuland) made similar direct threats to “take out” the Russian/German owned NordStream asset. Others claim that the sabotage was to prevent Germany and other EU nations suffering this winter from cold and shuttered industries from “backsliding” into a return use of Russian gas. Now Russia can not offer them to turn the gas line on again. It is “insuranc to keep the support for the US and Ukraine war effort on-going.
This war act by the US or one of its allies is the dangerous and inevitable ratcheting up of the Ukraine War effort. Biden has continued his unwise extension and expansion of the Ukraine war by supporting the intransigent Ukraine President Zelenskyy in the order of $60 billion dollars or more. Money that many feel could have been better spent on our own citizenry. And others point out it is a level of support as great as Russia’s own annual military budget.
Others complain that the US has all but tipped over the line into an active belligerent by suppling the Ukraine with advanced weapons, the advisors to use them, and pinpoint targeting intelligence from the Pentagon. Much of this “war effort” was delivered without consent of Congress. Mr Putin, has responded to the US supported Ukraine offensive with a call up of 300,000 conscripts, as well as a referendum in the eastern industrial area of Ukraine and a plan to annex the eastern 15% of the Ukraine.
Slicing off the Donbas and other coastal industrial regions of Ukraine will render the remaining Ukraine as a land-bound strictly agricultural state. The annexed area will become an integral part of Mother Russia. Putin and his citizens will then be able to claim they are defending “Mother Russia” from the threatening NATO, EU and the “west” with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.
The NordStream sabotage seems to be the unwise Biden response to that act of Russia to its recent setbacks in the war effort. This is what is so dangerous about war—it is unpredictable—and one side’s rash act begets another. But more so in Ukraine where Putin is playing with dangerous nuclear weapons—and Biden is playing with an 80 years old brain, and a long history of erroneous decisions involving that organ. Then too it has become so abundantly clear that our weak President is surrounded by an incompetent team that seem to be leading the world toward a disastrous nuclear confrontation.
In regard to the climate threat: Perhaps Joe and his team of novice incompetents did not realize that even gas pipes which were “not pumping” gas held huge volumes of the stuff. They may not have been aware that the 760 mile (1,216 km) long, @1 meter wide pipe lying 80 meters below the surface was still filled with at least 2 million ( some estimate 150 million cubic meters to 500 million) cubic meters of the greenhouse gas methane. Methane has a much more effective heat absorbing profile than CO2. In fact, methane is 80 x more heat absorbing and may linger in the atmosphere 10 years or more, so its impact can be much greater than the worrisome carbon. Perhaps they were unaware too, that the amount they or their allies “sabotaged” into the atmosphere may be equivalent in CO2 to about 14 million tons of carbon dioxide. Or about one third of all the CO2 Denmark dumps into the air in a year. So all of our recent sacrifices paying for higher gas prices to cut the carbon in the atmosphere have gone to waste with this one more “Joe disaster”.
When the historians (if there are any which survive the Biden presidency) try to document this disastrous period in American history the Biden climate disaster will be one of their major chapters.
Sadly they will have plenty of dumb acts to document: not the least of which was the chaotic and deadly retreat from Afghanistan, which telegraphed military weakness in the Oval Office and led to aggressive acts and war in Eastern Europe and the threats of same from North Korea, and to the unstable world of today threatened with nuclear conflict. Domestically, his foolish attempt to satisfy the climate fanatics by precipitously cutting the fossil fuel industry off at the knees, led to a massive world-wide inflationary spiral, economic peril, and today’s threat of world recession.
