"War-War" DeSantis?

Several decades ago, LBJ was in favor of "Jaw-Jaw" over "War-War."  But LBJ was owned by the military-industrial complex, which is one reason that he chose to get out of the White House.  (For more on the military-industrial complex's ownerships, see below.)

That's something that distinguishes Ron DeSantis from LBJ.  You may argue that LBJ was just as corrupt as Biden, and 'fortified' his election(s) just like Biden.  But you cannot argue that DeSantis is "not" a political animal who--apparently--likes Endless War.

It's been rumored that DeSantis is a property of the Deep State actors.  There is no question that he has taken a crap-ton of money from them.

Do we really need more war over postcard-sized lumps of land 8,000 miles from the US?

Ask LBJ how that worked out for him.

Let's go a little farther on that 'ownership' thing.

...The Ukrainian Embassy hosted a reception last week in honor of the 31st anniversary of the country’s armed services. Events like this are part of the social calendar of Washington’s smart set, with hobnobbing diplomats, think tankers, journalists, and US officials. Guests took photos with the Ukrainian ambassador. Even Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley showed up.

But there was something so overt it led some observers to laugh out loud at the gathering’s invitation.

The logos of military contractors Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney, and Lockheed Martin were emblazoned on the invitation as the event’s sponsors, below the official Ukrainian emblems and elegant blue script that said the Ukrainian ambassador and defense attaché “request the pleasure of your company.”

“It’s really bizarre to me that they would put that on an invitation,” one think tank expert told me. “The fact that they don’t feel sheepish about it, that’s interesting,” explained an academic. 

Not at all.  Raytheon, Northrop, P&W and Lockheed were ORDERING certain Members of Congress to attend and applaud the war like good little trained monkeys.

Prove me wrong.
