The craven, Woke, Germans...busy committing economic suicide while fantasizing about all the EU can loot from Russia after it's destroyed...continues to egg on the "Let's you and him fight" scenario.
CAN NOT talk to Putin - PEACE might ensue, and that means, we can't loot Russian gold! Nor their oil and NG.
I'm running a mental list of former Western nations and regions that should be rendered glow-in-the-dark through the miracle of ICBMs. Davos is on that list; City of London; Brussels. Quite possibly Jerusalem.
Now that the East German DDR commies took over the formerly-free West, and poisoned the land...maybe it's time to impose the Morganthau Plan of 1944, which was to completely de-industrialize Germany...leave the non-mechanized farmers to work, and let those without land or skills, just go as Nature might intend.

America goes to war, but Congress is AWOL
In theory, Congress is a separate and coequal branch of the United States government. The U.S. Constitution, the American republic’s most sacred document, vests extraordinary power in the men and women who occupy seats in the legislature, including writing laws and establishing the tax code, funding federal agencies, and overseeing how the executive branch implements policy. The founders were enlightened enough to realize that power is both intoxicating and corrupting, and it is best spread out over several competing players to ensure everybody in the system is kept honest.Yet as the nation hits the 250th anniversary of its independence this July 4, this remains a work in progress. Our politics now operate in the gutter, with politicians and candidates slinging substance-free arrows at each other and playing to the most extreme partisans on both ends of the political spectrum. Cooperation across the aisle, once a common occurrence on Capitol Hill, is now a rarity. And Congress, that most hallowed institution, consistently comes up short on one of its most consequential — if not the most consequential — duties: authorizing when the United States goes to war.
