It has surprised me to hear all the worrying about escalation of the war with Russia. Even the alt-media is joining in this hysteria. It is easier to explain why the regime-media is talking about the scary story of nuclear confrontation with Russian.
Americans are shocked at prices in the grocery store and at the gas pump. The Biden administration doesn't want those issues on the "front page" of the news. Nor does it want people talking about how Washington DC is losing an unnecessary war with Russia brought on by the stupid foreign policy of Obama and Biden. If the Ukrainian military collapses this summer, that won't be 'good optics' for Biden. Or what if Zelensky -- the new "Winston Churchill," the defender of Freedom and Democracy, according to the regime media of two years ago -- falls in a coup d'état?
Scary stories about bigger war with Russia steal the oxygen from these stories. But nothing lasts for long in political show business. 'Nuclear war with Russia' will become old as we get closer to the election. Perhaps it can be replaced by incipient war between 'sacrosanct' Israel and Hezbollah. Or what about some new virus -- hell, bring on bubonic plague -- in autumn. Or Ebola. Or some new virus that we have never heard of before. But it shouldn't sound like Covid.
