Ludwig Von Mises was a highly educated man and spoke post college level English and his native tongue, German. Are you sure you want to compare credentials? Joe Biden speaks well below high school level. Joe has nothing on a genius. His economic advisor is an embarrassment to responsible statecraft. The meritless kakistocracy that democratic Marxist activism promotes, for example DEI, promoting based on social justice instead of merit. Mises was a great man, Biden is a mediocre man who is elected by people who consider themselves less than him.

Oh yes, because Christianity is so evil, it proliferated compassion across the world. It ended slavery, created Just War Theory (a moral approach to war), proliferated the concept of human rights It culturally ingrained into its followers the concept of secularism, and egalitarianism. How far the democrat party has fallen. They fear the Bible and Orange Man so much, genocide is an acceptable trade-off. You must really hate Jesus.

Biden loyalists still believe they are the good guys. I am pretty sure, when Julius Caesar marched into Gaul, that the Roman army thought of themselves as bad guys... We know where Biden supporters stand. Did the Nazis believe they were the bad guys? Government psy-ops a success on a huge segment of the population.

Does it really matter if he really is against it or not? Is he supposed to get a point for displaying some kind of compassion; compassion points, yet the Gazans are still bombed, starved, and utilities are out.

I see your point.

I would not go that far and call it a potential Vietnam. A more appropriate comparison is Black Hawk Down: The Sequel.

The problem with the US military capacity is what libertarians long argued about and even predicted. When you have essentially infinite people, taxes & money printing, with all peer competitors remove, thus no perceived rivals, including the low threat from Russia. Free to roam, the US engaged in a nation-building, and deposition of world leaders to refashion the world into a liberal world order that is subservient to US influence. The Saudis had their security quid pro quo, European countries cut military budgets to below the minimum, and all was great...for a little while. That is until the US ran into Russia, ignoring the conditions of Ukrainian statehood, which is neutrality. Yes, the people who watch CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, read The Hill, NY Times, listen to Joe Biden, Blinken, Hillary Clinton, Nikki Haley, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, Jack Keane, David Petraeus, John Brennan, John Kirby, the list goes on, & the secret women & men who hold talks and meetings behind closed doors, believe information that tailored for their consumption, as to have a specific perception by false narrative. Their minds are a product of a militant democratic state that uses propaganda as to fill the lack with autocracy. These are products of the US psy-op operation. They are programmed drones.

These elites make up the establishment, which can be termed "The Deep State". It is a conformist and loyal fraternity of people who clearly have too much time and power in their hands.

Demand is relative. When the USSR collapsed, NATO countries, especially European members, dramatically cut military spending below the minimum mandate they agreed upon, which contradicts the Russophobia narrative. A reason why for "high demand" is that since the US was picking on small, weaker countries, it never had to face an adversary in a war of attrition. Instead, the US military during the unipolar moment. Uncle Sam focused on high-tech gadgets that focused on precision while gutting the true and proven kings of battle, like artillery and their dumb shells. Even the M777 shoots a high-tech GPS guided 155mm shell. Because the US government never provided checks on pricing, no bargaining, the US hyperinflated the costs for military procurement. Things that should be reasonably priced with their military contemporary equivalents, are ludicrously priced. Paying more for less. There is your price gouging there. They have done it to themselves. This is more than just attributed to higher income. The military suppliers purposely maximize profits over volume, and only produce just enough as not to lower their profit margins than necessary. American politicians won't tell you about this, because their profligacy creates its own constituency, and a revolving door of politicians becoming lobbyist, and vice versa. You know, like Nikki Haley, who some moderate democrats find apparent qualities about her.

Joe Biden is an admitted non-Jew Zionist. Should a Muslim vote for a Zionist? That is a more accurate question.

That is a real possibility.
