I'm hearing a lot of talk about U.S. and NATO failures, so I want to call attention to the successes. Feel free to cheer wildly for each one.
Germany has canceled a Russian pipeline and will be destroying the Earth with more U.S. fossil fuels, and oil prices are up!
Poland is buying billions of dollars worth of U.S. tanks.
Ukraine and the rest of Eastern Europe and other members of NATO are all going to be buying a lot more U.S. weapons or having the U.S. buy them as gifts.
Slovakia has new U.S. bases.
Various governments from the Baltics and Scandinavia on down are declaring Russia evil.
Talk of a European military separate from NATO seems to have evaporated.
In Germany you can lose your job as head of the Navy for suggesting treating Russia respectfully.
In the United States countless fans of movies about the evils of McCarthyism have announced that Republicans are treasonous Putin lovers.
U.S. weapons companies' stocks are soaring.
So-called news media ratings are up as well, and it turns out that it also costs them less to hire people who can read Putin's mind than it would have to hire journalists.
Plus there's no longer any need to cover any of Biden's broken promises on student debt or education or housing or wages or the environment or retirement or voting or anything else.
Plus Biden like Trump when he finally bombed enough people is finally "presidential."
This whole thing seems to be as big a success for 99% of the people in the United States as a story about Wall Street booming or a corporate trade agreement being signed.
