I was angered by Sen. Mitt Romney’s comments regarding former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s concerns about dangerous biological labs in Ukraine and their vulnerability in the war there.

This situation is exactly what I and others have warned our legislators about for years. (Nuclear proliferation, microbial volatile organic compounds, and bacterial and viral research related to clumsy military biological research abroad sanctioned by our corrupt government.) None listened, and now that the devil is at the door all some of these legislators can do is accuse us of being traitors.

We’re in this mess and danger of collapse, not to mention nuclear war, because of our corrupt government’s actions.

Western Europe is already lost. Thanks to our foolishness and lack of leadership these NATO countries are under the thumb of Russia and China. All Vladimir Putin has to do is shut off the gas and oil and they’re done.

The U.S. is irrelevant under that threat. The strongest economy in Europe is Germany, and they have no army large enough to resist.

We’re descending into an abyss. What is our government doing to avert this? Begging for oil from other corrupt governments because our leaders can’t tell the difference when we have plenty of our own.

In May 1940 Britain had an inept prime minister who clumsily led them to war with the Nazis. Their Parliament threw him out and appointed Winston Churchill to lead them out of that disaster.

Unfortunately, our form of government doesn’t allow us to do that.
