When the smoke finally clears, President Biden's Ukraine debacle will go down - along with Afghanistan and Iraq - as one of the greatest foreign policy disasters in US history.
With Russian control established in the strategic city of Bakhmut over the weekend, the neocon Ukraine project - like all neocon foreign policy projects before it - looks to be progressing rapidly toward failure.
Let's not forget the battle over the "Debt limit" raging in DC. The Biden Administration's profligate domestic spending is a battleground for Republican lawmakers, however when it comes to endless spending on Project Ukraine, with a few exceptions the two parties are in lockstep.
With the tide of US public opinion turning overwhelmingly against throwing more money down the corrupt black hole called "Ukraine," even unprincipled politicians are going to start listening to the emerging progressive/conservative alliance in Congress that's had enough.
Election season is upon us, and although we would prefer to have recruited a majority of progressives and conservative/libertarians in Congress to our view that a hundred billion to Ukraine and possible World War III is not a good idea, we must nevertheless be satisfied that political realities are in our favor.
The communists talked about the "Correlation of forces," which took into account factors beyond military power to include politics and "Soft power." With that in mind, it seems likely that as the public mood in the US turns against sending endless billions to a corrupt Ukraine with the threat of World War III in the mix, the political animals in DC will begin abandoning the sinking ship.
With President Biden clearly flailing - and with the surprisingly strong primary challenge of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - we should look for lawmakers to begin abandoning "Project Ukraine" in droves.
