THE CLASSIC MISTAKE OF WAR

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 27th day of October in the year of our Lord 2023 and today I return to the Castle Report after three weeks away and I find the world in danger with the United States right in the middle of it of course. I will be talking about the classic mistake of war and how the United States seems hellbent on making it as the country rushes toward an out-of-control catastrophe.

The classic mistake of war is opening two fronts without the resources to fight them. That was the mistake of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany whose name is almost synonymous with the mistake. The Kaiser went to war against Russia and a French and English alliance at the same time and the result of his mistake was the destruction of Germany leading eventually to a second world war.

It is World War I that I am talking about but as a wise man once said, if you don’t learn from history you are doomed to repeat it. The Kaiser’s war could possibly have been contained until England mobilized and declared war, but once that happened it became a World War resulting in the deaths of over 70 million people. The United States today is on the verge of making the classic mistake of the Kaiser. The war in the Middle East might be contained unless the United States enters actual combat, but then the chances of it spinning out of control and going global are too great to contemplate.

In the example of the United States today, President Biden is perhaps on the verge of exceeding the Kaiser in hubris and dumb reasoning. He went to Israel last week to meet with their Prime Minister and war cabinet and afterward he made a speech which was carried on television around the world. The speech contained a lot of untrue things, but it revealed a plan that indicated that someone up there in Washington is frightfully ignorant or worse, homicidal.

President Biden seems to think that the United States can and will fight and fund three wars on different corners of the planet at the same time. The war against Russia in Ukraine, the war of Israel against God only knows how many others, and the United States against China over Taiwan, all at the same time. It is an insane plan, if only from an economic standpoint. Washington is currently approaching 34 trillion in debt the long-term consequences of which not many seem to be thinking about.

The business shows on television, or what passes for television, now have many people they present to us as experts, who are saying repeatedly that the Fed is losing or has lost control of the economy, especially regarding inflation. I have already talked about the many economic troubles of the American working people and how no one seems to care even a little about them. The President goes to congress and asks for more than 100 billion additional dollars to fund wars on two fronts in Ukraine and Gaza. He makes promises as if he thinks there is no end to the largesse with which he can fund the world’s death machines.

I realize that when he says he is going to give two billion to Israel or Ukraine, for example, he is really giving it to the American arms manufacturers who then use part of it to fund politicians who will give them more money. That is how cynical it has all become, but this time it seems to be far more dangerous than simply using Ukraine as a proxy to fight Russia. My point is that even if the United States had the military capability to fulfill his promises which is doubtful, the money has failed as it did in the time of Joseph as recorded in Genisis 47:15.

American weapons stockpiles are dangerously low due to the constant supply of Ukraine in the effort to defeat the Russian Army. The effort in Ukraine has taken about 500,
