War, What Is Dobbs Good For?



We've refrained recently from paying attention to the constant idiocy of Fux Bidness host and man who changes hair color like most men change socks Lou "Loopy Lou" Dobbs. Loopy Lou has become one of sociopathic con man Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump's most sycophantic cheerleaders / propagandists and advisors in the past few years. Loopy Lou and Trump seem to ping-pong nonsense back and forth, so it wasn't too surprising to see this from the Just For Men guy, interviewing failed Trump appointee K.T. McFarland last night:
If this turns out to be a biological weapon, K.T., if this happens to be a conscious and overt act on the part of the Chinese military — and we know that biological warfare is part of their military doctrine, a significant part, just as cyber warfare or any other — if this were to turn out to be that, what should be the response? [snip] 
If we don’t go to war over the loss of … 31,000 American lives, what do we go to war over? When do we quit sending strong letters and talking tough? At what point are there consequences for this kind of behavior? Because whether they did it intentionally or not, we do know this: That virus was unleashed on the world, and they lied, and that is the same as making it an intentional and conscious act of warfare, as far as I’m concerned.” (our emphasis)
That COVID-19 is Chinese "biological warfare" is a lie, which is why Loopy couched his demagoguery in "if". The main point here is not just that Dobbs should be institutionalized, but that this dangerous fool's talk gets into the empty head of his Dear Leader, who has reached a point of desperation in his reckless desire for ways to restart the economy, you know, like with a war. Of course, someone should clue Loopy Lou in that China has nuclear ballistic missiles -- lots of them -- and we'd be incinerated along with his bottles of hair dye in a war (31,000 American lives vs. 320 million American lives seems like a bad gamble Loopy). It's also worth noting that tough guys like Loopy Lou, who never wore his country's uniform, are always the most eager to send others off to fight their wars.
