Right out of the gate, the Biden administration is stoking hot war in Europe (eastern Ukraine). The next European war is likely to see the total destruction of continental Europe and the UK.
This is moving has moved onto the irrational level, a level on which anything is possible.

J. Hawk is a good analyst but I think he may be too optimistic here, relying on rational agents. There is a lot of irrationality involved and some insanity, too.

How many times must we repeat: in this war which the US and NATO have started against Russia, force will decide the outcome, not words. So if President Joseph Biden (lead image, centre) and his Secretary of State Antony Blinken (left) are afraid of running the risk of losing the former – watch the Donbass in the coming weeks — they will stick to wars of words; that’s propaganda, info-war, cyber-war....Dances with Bears

A new report from the US National Intelligence Council assesses that most of the governments the US-centralized empire has targeted for destruction are guilty of seeking to interfere in the nation’s 2020 election.Ahem.
Yeah, so, that’s the news. According to the US intelligence cartel, the nations which sought to interfere in the outcome of the US election include Russia, Iran, China, Lebanese Hizballah, Cuba, and Venezuela. Interestingly, exactly zero nations aligned geopolitically with the United States are listed as having interfered in its electoral process....
The crazy thing is that many Americans will accept this at face value in spite of having been lied to repeatedly. On the other hand, "lie" is not exactly the correct word. The world view of the intelligence people results their shaping reality to their cognitive-affective biases. So while disinformation is an integral aspect of intel operations, there is some basis in thinking that the intel people are a bit bonkers, as Patrick Armstrong explains in a link above. There seems to be considerable self-delusion involved.

Good God! We pay these “Intelligence” folks to write such drivel, assessing this, and assessing that; and always assessing “Russian interference”?
