I'm talking it's the cheapest way the US is damaging the economy of Russia/China while they fall further behind economically.
Ooops we killed over a million Ukrainian men, and demographically destroyed the country forever for no benefit to Ukraine or NATO, but at least I got to Virtue signal my friends!!

So another thing is this also comes at a time when Joe Biden basically does not exist publicly. He's in covid lockdown / recovery, but not just limiting public exposure or minor white house duties, rather fully withdrawn- his schedule for next week is completely blank. The letters announcing his withdrawal were posted by his social media team, and chief of staff Jeff Zients was the person who called cabinet officials to inform him. Actually at this point we can't even be 100% sure Joe Biden is alive. Its kind of notable that one of the biggest decisions in American politics was just made without Biden coming out and saying it in a verifiable, personal way. No canned video even.
Instead we got this:
https://i.imgur.com/KVDJwp3.jpegSleuths on twitter are going around noting that Joe Biden's signature is markedly different than all his previous executive orders on pretty much every letter but that's kind of silly overanalysis to me, if it was some kind of silent coup then they'd just use an autopen to copy it duh
I think back in more grounded territory (if that even exists in a day and age where presidents drop out or get clipped by bullets), what really sticks out is whatever is going on with Joe Biden right now, he's not able to come out and address the nation as he makes this major announcement, the biggest of his presidency
Supposedly Joe Biden will make a public address "later this week" as per his statement. But that's not specific
I'd say the most likely scenario is that Joe Biden is actually seriously ill with Covid right now, or at least enough for a man his age and frailty that he would appear visibly weak and feeble (moreso than normal) and doesn't want to be seen on camera until he's had a few days to gather enough strength just to make the statement that he's going to drop out. If he was actually calculating about when to announce this bombshell he would have done it a few days ago to drown out the headlines about Trump's assassination earlier. But its completely jarring that Joe Biden just ended his political career and didn't even say so, and this could be a weekend at bernies incident for all we know.
Where is Joe Biden, he makes a public address for Trump getting shot, but none for his own alleged unofficial resignation?
Did they kill him when they said he had covid, then decide it was better to have him drop out of the race while they played Ruth Baiter Ginsberg with him for the rest of the year?
