It's not a matter of competence. In the Ukraine war, It is to the advantage of the major players on both "sides" to keep the war going on for as long as possible, while keeping the heads of the mafias (Obama, Putin) in their places of power. Biden, and now Harris (both obvious puppets, whose puppeteer is Obama) have always talked about keeping Ukraine "in the fight" - but not winning the war. Doing the latter means the game ends and the opportunities for both mafias to suck money out of the populations on which they are parasites ends as well - in Russia, by outright theft (Shoigu just won top honors in this competition), and in America/the "West" by fraud (those $1000 toilet seats and trillion dollar "defense" budgets - with "national security" to cover up the crime ). War is the ultimate consumer economy - materiel and troops are consumed and destroyed, producing a need to supply more, which is a way to increase profits, and decrease the number of people in the lower classes who can suck up government money - or keep their own. As General Smedley Butler (USMC - Uncle Sam's Misguided Children) once said, "War is a racket" - https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.pdf - nearly a century ago, and it's still true. Putin does still have competent generals to head things up that he hasn't outright killed like Prigozhin and Utkin - Popov and Strelkov in jail, someplace, and Surovikin in the wilds of Africa - but they'd finish the war and the carnival of greed, theft, and fraud, and that just can't be allowed to happen... He did shitcan Gerasimov, the incompetence just became too blatant and out in the open - and so Putin is anxiously casting about for "generals" whose incompetence isn't at the star level of Gerasimov... the idea is to keep the game going, because that's where the money is, as Willie Sutton, the famous bank robber, put it so long ago. Solving problems just stops the game, and that is to the advantage of none of the players, so it just won't happen. The solution is to get rid of the parasitical mafias...
Really liked this, Rad! I don't think you are paranoid, either. And I stopped taking the statins, my doc said the same as yours, more out of protocol than reason.
Unfortunately in 1913 with addition of income tax and federal reserve to constitution control over politicians spending was lost
Tough to reserve
Not impossible though
Not impossible, and absolutely necessary.
