Mr. Biden's plan to wage endless war in Eastern Europe is having an undesired effect. It may be spreading into a regional war. And if that happens NATO will require an unlimited response. A Polish/Belarus war could wind up a world war very easily.

Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Thursday Poland was making a bigger deployment of men to its border, which he said would amount to 10,000 in all: 4,000 actually at the border supporting the Border Guard and a further 6,000 in the second line. The purpose of moving more men closer to the frontier was,Blaszczak said per Reuter’s report: "We move the army closer to the border with Belarus to scare away the aggressor so that it does not dare to attack us”.

The announcement came after an announcement by the Polish government on Wednesday that it was sending up another 2,000 troops to the border.

While tensions rose over Russia’s re-invasion of Ukraine last year and a period of intensive asymmetric warfare against Polandand the European Union by Belarus at the border the year before that, in fact the recent deployments have been in response to Russia’s mutinous Wagner mercenaries being exiled to Belarus this year. This move has been followed by a series of Belarussian military training exercises coming right up to the Polish border, including an incident where two military helicopters are said to have crossed into Polish, and therefore NATO airspace.

Meanwhile Joe Biden has ordered Marines be placed on commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf.

Why? It's to protect them from being seized by Iran, who is part of the Russian coalition, as well as Somali pirates.

The Iranians have seized several commercial vessels in the Gulf in recent months.

This only ratchets up tensions with Iran and increases the chances of an incident.

It IS a prudent move by the Biden Administration and I actually applaud them for trying to do their jobs, but it is a dangerous move and one that never should have been needed. It is the Biden weakness and vacillating and feckless policy that has led us here.

Iran is a solid ally of Putin and Russia and if war breaks out they will be the cornerstone of the Russian coalition in the Middle East.

We are moving inexorably towards world war.
