The president of Ukraine is cajoling, pleading, begging for more guns, more ammunition, more planes, more rockets, more EVERYTHING. I’m sure the bosses at Northrop Grumman and Raytheon are rubbing their palms and whipping out the calculators. The bleating sheep of the EU (aren’t they missing a letter? All the big important players have three: WEF, WHO, CIA) nod their heads in unison. El Presidente del Republica Banana Estados Unidos, Joseph R. Biden is nodding too. In his case it’s “nodding off”.
Now, I am no Sun Tzu but somehow it seems to me that stepping on the gas pedal instead of the brakes when WWIII comes into view, is not the correct move.
In the meantime, I looked up some alarming statistics: 350 thousand people died in Yemen last year, 60% of them of starvation, tens of thousands of them children. Have you seen any Yemen flags on social media lately?
While boning up on war stats, I came across Ethiopia. Seems that half a million people perished there last year in a savage civil war. I could be wrong but hasn’t that part of the world been in the news for decades? Perhaps a few Ethiopian flags on Twitter could fix that?
But I wasn’t done googling yet and lo and behold: there seems to be some deadly violence going on in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan. I don’t know that much about it but vaguely recall that the goon from the Kremlin may have something to do with that, too. Yet no flags of solidarity on Facebook as far as I know.
Here’s another wee tidbit. Unless the media is lying to me (not that they would EVER do that), Ukraine seems to be the first country in Europe to want to go ahead with implementing a social credit system. Is that the “freedom” we are spending untold billions on defending, and ruining our economy in the process?
I don’t pretend to have solutions. All I know how to do is play guitar and use a computer keyboard (I’m also a decent cook) But I do know what is right for America. Putting our stock in, and our treasure with the most corrupt and the poorest country in Europe, while skillfully wringing our own economic neck is NOT the right thing to do.
I do not wish to see the poor people of Ukraine suffering. War is hell. It is the worst thing humans can do to other humans. I do not wish to see ruined buildings, crying infants and mangled bodies. But neither do I want the Russian people to suffer, their culture boycotted and their vodka spilled because we hate their despot. And I most definitely do not want our idiot politicians to be causing the misery at home they are causing. The world is a nasty, brutish, ugly place. Bleating slogans and “standing with the current thing” just adds idiocy to the nastiness
