Generating Threats for Political Gain?

As if having 30% of the world's corona virus infections with about 5% of the world's population isn't enough of a crisis, our administration has undertaken to "spruce up" our lives by creating international political tension to distract us from our health worries.

One might ask why? What is gained by flying our bombers on the other side of the world next to Russian airspace? Is our administration seeking to fabricate another war or at least create an incident to make us think about something other than our failure of handling the effects of the pandemic?
If we really cannot live without a military conflict, should we not at least right now wait and apply all our effort on solving the corona virus crisis before even thinking about what other unrest can be inflicted on the American people?
When one associates chaos with uncivilized or still developing nations, would it not be great if our government could act to shift our national status more away from chaos and more toward the tranquility of a civilized nation rather than in the other direction?

Meanwhile a Gov. and a former V.P. look more like a President on their worst day then Death Count Donnie does on his best?

You have desperate attempts to muddy Joe Biden in the minds of some, who are these fools who might still be swayable with this daily shitshow digging a deeper debt hole, deeper resentment, nothing good at all, while pretending Jared is in charge of half the government agencies?

COME ON!

Trump dismantled protections and agencies and then lies about it, that is the truth, that is the thing!!!!!!

I want him executed for treason, I have said this a bunch of times, I am not wavering 1iota!
