Wag the dog

No one wants the war in Ukraine but like all things some will benefit indirectly from the war. Oil companies profits rise as oil prices rise. Biden's approval ratings have gone up 10 points from 37% to 47%. It is the wag the dog concept. The news is no longer about inflation, the border and crime but all about the war and the World including Americans are united in their support for Ukraine. Back in 1997, President Clinton was embroiled in sex scandal and he initiated bombing raids in Sudan and Kosovo and a movie was made called Wag The Dog, where a fictitious president Michael Belson gets involved with a young woman and his aides convince him to start bombing Albania to distract the public. It works in the movie but it didn't help Clinton.
