What's he attempting to do? Call for war? Raise funds for Ukraine?
Not get thrown out or assassinated by his own shitty, liberal party—or his GooD FRieNd JoE BiDeN at its head—in the context of the new/renewed McCarthyist-style political environment?
I mean, Bernie is no Eugene Debs, but I think it's still possible to foresee him being Eugene Debsed if he's too critical of U.S./NATO/Ukraine/war now or in the near future....
He has had his run. He's old and not in great health. The man can afford to have spicy takes.
I guess it's a matter of whether he thinks he can afford to have those spicy takes or not. I mean, he should've been far more critical and even scathing of the party and of Biden at many different points along the way. But no. 🤷
(It occurs to me my earlier comment might've been taken as a defense of his take. Though it was a somewhat charitable supposition—a "maybe he's a leftist on the inside, but does it really matter?" sort of possibility—no: it was not meant as a defense or justification.)
Virtue signal to...?
Bernie has always punched left on foreign policy. The extent to which he has ever been good on it is that he theoretically wants to reduce military spending, spend that same money on social programs. His big stand against the War in Iraq was predicated on saying what we should do with the money instead, that we should go with the existing inspection process, etc - not a single word against the genocide the US was already carrying out against Iraqis by destroying their infrastructure and the using starvation sanctions.
Probably just retire quietly without having his entire name and reputation ruined with such insane lies that he's remembered as a monster like Corbyn would be my guess.
