Joe Biden’s not even in the White House and the Democrats are already slavering for another war. Welcome back to the “presidential normal”.
“Normal presidency” brought America decades of pointless wars – none more so than under Barack Obama, who holds the odious distinction of the longest time at war of any president – which brought rivers of sacrificed American blood and treasure, a collapsed economy, the economic and social disintegration of Middle America and a concomitant tsunami of opioid addiction.
But it seems that what the Washington Swamp missed most of all was its lovely, lovely wars.
Joe Biden is facing calls to reset the US relationship with Russia as the extent of a massive computer attack on the American government becomes apparent.
The months-long cyber-raid affected secrets in computer systems at the Pentagon, Homeland Security, Treasury and Commerce, and was said to have targeted US allies and corporations.
Remember, these are the same people insisting that the November election was “the most secure ever”.
But most of all, by “reset”, they mean “war”.
“It’s very important reminder that the Russian threat — not just China — will be a central challenge for the Biden administration and our allies for many years to come,” tweeted Michael McFaul, a former US ambassador to Moscow and a vocal Trump critic.
Dick Durbin, 76, the second most senior Democrat in the Senate, said the attack was “virtually a declaration of war” and accused the Trump administration of being “completely compromised”.
“Russia is relentlessly trying to invade America’s cyberspace and to compromise individual identities as well as critical and sensitive information,” he told CNN.
“We need an honest reset in terms of relations between the US and Russia — we can’t be buddies with Vladimir Putin and have him at the same time making this kind of cyberattack on America.
“This is virtually a declaration of war by Russia on the US and we should take that seriously.”

More than anything else, the Swamp Monsters really missed their wars, apparently.
