The Military Industrial Complex, as represented by incumbent president Joe Biden, “seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives.” So tweeted Donald Trump Jr., son of the eponymous president-elect. Other Trumpies weighed in too: “No one anticipated that Joe Biden would ESCALATE the war in Ukraine during the transition period. This is as if he is launching a whole new war.”
Their indignation, real or feigned, is over Biden’s green light to the Ukrainians to shoot American-made missiles much deeper into Russia than they were hitherto allowed, as part of their self-defense against the de facto war of annihilation waged by Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin.
