Democrats courting a self-inflicted disaster

The battle over Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine is close to completion, and the outcome is already known. Russia will prevail. Kiev, the EU, NATO and the Biden administration know this. Moreover, Zelensky recently admitted that if Russia prevails there, it will be able to occupy the entire area east of the Dnieper River, and beyond if the Kremlin so chooses. Furthermore, French President Macron recently told Zelensky that he must shift from being a war time president to a statesman and accept a political solution to the war. The March 7,(2023) New York Times article, which preposterously alleged that rogue Ukrainians in a rented yacht blew up the Nordstream pipelines, said as much also.

The Biden administration is in a conundrum where it must make a monumental decision. It has only two options: Will it escalate the war, which would accelerate humanity towards nuclear annihilation; or will it accept that its project to weaken Russia and overthrow President Putin has failed and call for a political solution to the war. Biden’s (actually the Democrats) political dilemma is that he (they) can not afford a failed war to drag on into an election year. His administration’s policies have deepened the economic crisis and insecurities the American working class

(any one who works for a wage is working class) is experiencing, with no hope on the horizon. Thus, a costly drawn out war could be a self-inflicted disaster for the Democrats, especially with Trump and DeSantis waiting in the wings.
