While Mr. Biden publicly sends aid and signed the lend-lease bill on camera, off camera he was livid over leaks about the American intelligence assistance to Ukraine that led to the deaths of Russian generals and the sinking of the cruiser Moskva out of concern that it would provoke Mr. Putin into the escalation that Mr. Biden has strenuously sought to avoid.
After reports in The New York Times and NBC News about the intelligence, Mr. Biden called Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III; Avril D. Haines, the director of national intelligence; and William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, to chastise them, according to a senior administration official. That seemed to be where Mr. Biden was drawing a line — providing Ukraine with guns to shoot Russian soldiers was OK, but providing Ukraine with specific information to help them shoot Russians was best left secret and undisclosed to the public.

Kagan disagrees.
“Are we having a conversation about red lines with ourselves?” asked Frederick W. Kagan, a military scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. “Because I rather think we are.”
The consequence, he added, is being too slow to provide what Ukraine really needs.

That's not a good precedent because Russia explicitly disowned Wagner as not theirs before the battle. Russia is not going to fight in the open. In Syria it will not claim credit. It could be ISIS, Iranian proxies, etc.

Do you realize the risk for Russia now if they DON'T act in any way? $100 billion in weapons and mercenaries are going to hit the battlefield this year. They absolutely have to create risks of escalation for the US to make sure the weapons and mercenaries don't land.

That's why they will take the risk and do covert operations in Syria that leave a question mark and make the military feel uneasy about further escalation. Russia wants to win the war and their government to survive. To do nothing is the death warrant when weapons and mercenaries will hit $100 billion by year's end at the current rate.
What exactly I don't know, I never served in the military so I don't what lethal covert operations in Syria could specifically look like. However, I can understand from a strategic perspective that they will do something. And it will be in Syria outside of the European theater to lower the risk of NATO intervention in Ukraine. Syria must also be a highly vulnerable place for US troops.

It's not the diversity hires doing the leaking. They tend not to truly hate Russia. It's the people who want Russia to hit back to justify wiping out Russia doing the bragging about killing generals.

Neocon Jews who want more than anything for Russia to escalate in response to our continued provocations so we can nuke them to death and/or start WWIII. The story is probably true

was watching the national news last night and couldn't believe they were going on and on about how all the assistance we are providing is wrecking the russians. of course we're going to do it, and so would they, but openly bragging about it is a completely unnecessary provocation. the only explanation is that the deep state wants us in a world war.

They want the Iran War. That's obvious and makes sense. Israel is not secure in the 21st century until Iran is broken up in multiple pieces. The Russia War isn't. It's based on revenge motivated by things that happened to grandparents and great grandparents 140 years ago.

That's a nice idea, but it seems more likely that democrats and other government lifers want a big war because it makes them and their people a ton of money. See: 40B currently making it's way to the beautiful people's pockets.

If it was driven by a small group of people who would profit from weapons sales, there would be push back by everyone else. In order to not garner push back against a very bad idea, a group with a sense of identity and purpose who hold the heights of influence in academia and news would need to mould public opinion for a long time.
Tulsi Gabbard and other smarter people opposing the war talk a lot about defense contractors getting rich as the main reason for tensions with Russia and intervention in the Middle East because it's cover. It's simply not possible to challenge Jewish power openly.
"Mr. Biden called Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III; Avril D. Haines, the director of national intelligence; and William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, to chastise them"
That's the same "Mr. Biden" that someone in a bunny costume orders around? Just making sure.
