Plugged-in deep state operative/pseudo-journalist David Ignatius helpfully ruled out Ukraine and Russia as the potential source of the leaked secret documents, by ruling them in. He seems not to have been on the reservation though since our government today outed (or made up) a fall-guy code-named “OG”, an internal leaker with spectacular security access. So if Ignatius thought he was helping the government deflect by blaming Ukraine or Russia that gambit failed. But likely the new goal is to blame Trump or his supporters or white supremacists or some such.
It’s possible if unlikely that “OG” was paid to do this leaking by the US government for some strategic reason. At the very least it paints Ukraine’s situation as grim but alternative media already knew that; another case where you learn more outside the dominant media than inside it unless you’re using the press as a contra-indicator of the truth. Interesting to learn with certainty that we are bleeding our military dry in this proxy war with Russia. I’m not sure what the point is even if we are doing likewise to Russia. To the extent the leak embarrasses the regime then I suppose it ultimately serves the interests of the American people.
Anyway, if “OG” is real and at large then he has some huge stones. At the very least you’d think he’d have planned an exit-the-country strategy. Pro-tip would be to use the southern border, maybe.
One thing Biden has in his favor is that he is certainly symbolic of the country he leads. As a symbol of America today, he represents us far more accurately than a Washington or Lincoln would, alas. We sure could use a leader we're not worthy of and haven't earned.

On a sad note, prolific Catholic author and weightlifter Kevin Vost died unexpectedly Tuesday. As is the fashion nowadays no cause of death is listed. Perhaps a heart attack or aneurysm.
