Since America was attacked in 2001, we have spent over $6 trillion on the Global War On Terror with no clear end in sight.
In the process, we’ve lost a lot of great men and women and continue to feel the effects of modern war culture at home as veterans riddled with post-traumatic stress and opiate-fueled un-wellness are cared for at VA hospitals around the country.
Sadly, I lost an employee to a drug overdose a year ago. I’ve also lost many friends who’ve fought and died in faraway places. And now it’s becoming clear that there was no real clear purpose or strategy behind the War on Terror, and that’s a fucking tragedy.

I was hoping Joe would have his shit together enough to start looking at the world differently but that’s clearly not the case. Like a drunk uncle with bad manners at the dinner table, he’s blundered with Iran and Russia straight out of the gate and we have lost major ground.
Putin continues to outwit America’s schizophrenic foreign policy as, perhaps, the most powerful leader in the world. Dropping a few bombs over Syria and employing U.S. sanctions will only escalate the already potent Russian digital warfare against the fragile American technology ecosystem.
One place where we have a major weakness is our outdated financial technology systems, and that’s just for starters.
Iran, an ally of Russia that clearly works in concert with it, has used Biden’s crooked and bent olive branch, which he extended over a potential restart of the 2015 nuclear deal, to mock America and bolster support domestically.
