Biden can't even warmonger properly lmao. Looks like Zelensky and Ukraine could be turning away from US and opening up some diplomatic channels with Russia.

US tried so hard to make this into a war but everyone seems to be getting sick of their sundowning ramblings.

      I do appreciate Biden just saying "Look we aren't the empire we were. We're not going to war with Russia or staying in Afghanistan." And then the entire Washington elite just rips their hair out. Who will pay them to make articles about how we must go to war if we never go to war???

      It's hard to cultivate idealogues when all you reward are opportunist careerist grifters

      That's not quite true. They are still very good at suppressing domestic media and online dissent. It's honestly the only thing they seem to be effective at and is likely the true metric for new-blood meritocratic success within the agency these days.

      It makes sense though, the 'important matters' (foreign threats) are left to 'important people' (nepotistic in hiring) while the 'piddly shit' (domestic radicalization) is left to 'underlings' (new hire people who are actually good at their job).
