The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.”Then Bush brushed the mistake aside and said, “Iraq, too,” insinuating that Russia was somehow involved in Iraq

President Joe Biden is resisting demands from Kiev to supply long-range rocket launchers to the Ukrainian military, White House is "holding back over worries the weapon could be used to launch strikes inside Russia, expanding and prolonging the conflict." Ukrainian officials requested increasingly advanced weaponry from Washington in recent months – even before Moscow’ invasion this year – urging the US government send M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), among other hardware. The M270 MLRS has a range of between 20 and 100 miles, putting them far beyond the range of the American M-777 Howitzers supplied to Ukraine in recent weeks.The M270 is a self-propelled platform specifically designed to evade Russian artillery strikes, capable of rapidly firing up to 12 rockets before moving to a new position. Washington sent billions of dollars in weapons to Ukraine after Russian invasion began: attack helicopters, artillery, tank-killing Javelin missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft platforms. New aid package currently moving through the Senate will bring total US assistance since March to $54 billion.

Proponents of “green” energy boondoggles are often masters at playing with the numbers, because that is the only way that wind and solar electricity generation make any sense. Advocates such as Kerry love to focus on the low operating costs of solar and wind since they don’t require constant purchases of fuel. Ignoring the relatively short lifespan of solar and wind components, as well as the high initial investment, can make it appear as though solar and wind operate at lower costs than fossil fuels or nuclear power. .The reason subsidies are so high is solar and wind have additional costs compared to their more reliable competition. “Green” energy sources are non-dispatchable, meaning their output can’t be changed to match demand. The wind doesn’t blow harder, and the sun doesn’t shine brighter, just because electricity use is peaking .Widespread adoption of solar and wind generation would necessitate expensive batteries on a large scale to ensure people still have power when the wind stops blowing or when the sun stops shining—like it does every night.
