HARNWELL: rhetorical escalation is the pathway to military escalation — and Ukraine is not worth it

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / On 1st August POTUS repeated his formulation that “This is Biden’s War, not “TRUMP’s.” I’m just here to see if I can stop it!”

I’m so sorry Mr President — but this is clearly no longer true. It is YOU that is escalating the war — that YOU promised to end within 24 hours — by sending two nuclear subs to Russia. This was Biden’s war — but now it’s YOUR war.

Your advisors are clearly not informing you of the restlessness inside MAGA over this issue.
