They bring nothing to the picnic
What is the "picnic" though? Who can define it? Guess nobody cared to, and has no intent to.

How is this much different than SCUDs being launched from Iraq, or all of the other parties that have tried? What about this do you figure is so transformative?
Because from now on, this kind of act and behavior becomes the new normal, and will go with effective impunity as long as the perpetrator has nukes (or a potential to acquire them) and the support of the Authoritarian axis.
Ukraine, Isreal: done, check
Taiwan, South Korea: in the clear perspective, as there's nothing: only vacuum to prevent it.
These are in fact and objectively, the first steps into the new age of humanity: aggressive nukes can do what they like with complete impunity. Nothing like "never again": the exact opposite, in fact.
If we can or want/will etc. do nothing about it, at least it's dumb to pretend that nothing much is happening.

The sad part is that the whole mess goes right back to the Go Brandon administration coming into power and cancelling sanctions on Iran and sending them a few billion reward for being what they are
Sadly this seems to be correct. Tolerance to bandits is taken only as a sigh of weakness. Liberal West just cannot learn it by any means. That's just too bad.

barely relevant past treaties.
"Barely relevant"? What about the living, glaring example of the "guarantees"? Who in their right mind now, seeing and hearing this, would let go of the nukes as opposed to getting them at the first opportunity.
As a result of this, the international system of security is finished, dead. This is what happens if one doesn't remember and observe their commitments. Some "barely".
-
There's no other ways to look at it: post WWII order and system is gone. Dead. There's no incremental means to pedal it back: fantasies. Illusions.
What the new age of the world will be, look and feel like will be decided in the course of a few years that follow. Don't say you didn't know it was a surprise.

"In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons (third largest stockpile at the time - M.) to Russia and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
Interesting times: we will know all there's to know. One party has all but given itself to the balloon of hot stinky air: no critical thought; no intelligence; almost no integrity left.
Let's see what the other still has. Will it keep playing into its hands, ignoring the pleas of those who defend their freedom bleeding every day, forget the "guarantees"?
All will be revealed.

A third largest stock of nukes given up for the "guarantees of security". The goods: payment now, the guarantee, as a service for an extended period.
Three decades on, the partner has forgotten that something was given and is talking about "lending". You pay for something you already given and he pretends that he isn't fulfilling an obligation but providing charity, free gift.
You know the word for this business right? Embezzlement. Crookedness. Else?
Is this the new image of the United States, before the world?
-
Well, however it ends one thing one cannot claim here: they didn't know. This is a really interesting experiment of human psyche and intelligence.
The stupidity, insanity test.

Remember: there are only two dead-brain buzzwaves:
1. "Worship Him!!!"
2. "ANATHEMA!!!"
That's a diode-level intelligence, a dead bulb. An amoeba can do better, quite possibly. Four and half years of evolution, wasted.

Nothing bad can happen. Sleepwalking never hurts.

3. What do you have against peace, love and harmony?
Right. With a bloodthirsty violent murder-psycho. Four and half billion years of evolution for nothing. Just wow.

No let's make peace and live in love and harmony with Hitlers. That would work sooo much better. The ancestors learned the hard way. So easy to forget.

Weakness of will and resolve are very, very bad when facing the enemy of this kind. The ancestors learned it the hard way. So easy to forget.

In pivotal times there's no such notion as the principle of least action, "the least action produces the lowest risk". Nope. None. The past gives no assurances. Nobody knows what "safe" means in this moment, and you don't know it Joe.
The opposite is true though: by avoiding necessary action when it was necessary, one can precipitate an irreversible, catastrophic chain of events. This already happened Joe and your words, no deepest wisdom of them is a match for the reality, this reality. But maybe that's too far away, in your mind you're already watering those roses.

In Canada, I think Trudeau's Liberals have been so bad that they've red-pilled a lot of young people, and all of the woke nonsense in society hasn't helped.
"From f-ck-up to f-ck-up" style of governance is the natural and probably unavoidable result of the evolution of any binary political system. The objective is to get to the power, not so much addressing problems and priorities of the society. Or is it, not at all?

Joe is worried about the much greater danger to Ukraine and NATO from the possibility of Trump's election and his allegiance to Putin.
Sounds like a plan Joe! Don't fight Putins too hard now so that they wouldn't win in the longer term. Makes sense, right? And this is exactly how the ancestors won it the last time, isn't it? In what world though? Your senile memoirs "how I tried my best but it didn't work too bad but I still have my roses"?
Or just afraid, OK "cautious"? Why couldn't you say it plain and simple Joe?
And what's the nonsense with the "prices"? Isn't Russia's oil under sanctions anyways? Don't you destroy prohibited stuff like drugs all the time - or care about prices, on the drug markets? Or not really, despite all the great talking? Could you make sense of it Joe finally, the great words all of them, or the act?
-
This is exactly how it happens: watch it live. First they won't move a finger; then they couldn't say a word. And next: they lost all of their former selves. Nothing, of self-respect, integrity and independence left. And they knew.
Watch it live now.

Right, between senile impotence or outright insanity, which wins? Wow, the race is so close!

Your link points to THIS POST, not Bloomberg.
Thanks, corrected. What's going through the minds of Lloyd and Joe, beats me hard. Are they simply afraid of the little man with his big stick? And couldn't spill it, aloud?

Lacking independent critical thinking skills and independent checks we cannot prevent government overreaches in the society. Nobody could and will determine that this is (not was, 25 years or hundred, years back) a step or few too far. Now. Stop here and go back.
The Covid story is as clear demonstration of the fact that this is a facade, veil quasi democracy as can be found. No independence and no critical, factual checks and controls. In this century and environment? Nah. Not going to work.

Right. Before, people went to fight because it was a right thing to do to stop the rising tide of evil. What a difference a few decades make. Just shame.

Bloomberg: US Slams Strikes on Russia Oil Refineries as Risk to Oil Markets
While Russia's brutal attacks take daily toll on the cities and towns, civilians in the heart of Europe of this century, the statement comes out as both callous and hypocritical.
"Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that Ukraine’s recent attacks on Russian oil refineries risk impacting global energy markets and urged the country to focus on military targets instead"
Did PM Churchill and President F. D. Roosevelt know that they shouldn't have attacked the enemy's industrial facilities, fully contributing to his inhumane brutality and "focus on the military targets, instead"?
What wars has Chief Ostin won recently, compared to the aforementioned leaders, to merit such a precious advice, a question begs?
Sad and dangerous, in this time of unprecedented turbulence that the United States appears to be on the track to loose itself; it's long-standing principles; commitments; will and resolve to act. Through senile impotence or outright insanity: does it really matter?

Between senile impotence and outright submission, is there a better option? The pathologically lying balloon of hot air who gave up all, and cowered to every dictator thug in the world "tough"? What would be a more bizarre joke?
