Biden, we have a problem...

What I imagine the president's team thought upon hearing Yevgeny Prigozhin had turned back from marching on Moscow.   

That wily Genie. Found a way to get out of his country's unpopular war without even having to put on a dress! ;-)  It gets better for some, for others worse.  Let's see what comes of this, eh?  

Say it again and again and again, friends:  This Is Not America's Fight.  We shoulda stayed on the sidelines, and not even gotten close to the field of play.  

Don't cross any more lines on our behalf, Coach Biden.  Your muscular assistants with the clipboards on the sidelines write too many checks that other people -- players on the field and spectators sitting too close --have to cash.

Brains win, not those willing to sacrifice other people's physical safety.  That's what American dollars are buying in the world today.  The West has to learn to negotiate its way in to build, stop overthowing governments and supporting chaotic rebellions that leave other lands further behind.

We. Aren't. Helping.   (join a religious mission and do the hard thankless work of serving in that way if you are so inclined to get involved and send your own family's dollars to pay for those causes.  Not in our name.  America leads with our brains, not macho puffing of elders who advise but never fight themselves.  We See You, and we see your methods belong to the past. We're in a new century now, and the planet is more beat up than ever... Don't push your luck on your way out?)
