1 in 5 American servicemen is obese. No wonder you can't have a conventional firefight anymore and you have to use ICBMs to fight a war. In Romanian we have a saying “Unde dai si unde crapa!” In short, the law of unintended consequences strikes again.
Gorbachev may have doomed us all. We must do whatever it takes to clean up the monumental mess this motherlover left us with.
Political violence is a fact of life. The world is in turmoil. In 1963, a President was killed in Dallas. The Truth never came out. The Media obscured the Facts by conflating the Sensational with Reality and adding a heavy dose of Fake News. Then, as Now, we are at crossroads. Do we keep on believing the Mainstream Media’s litany of deceit and lies? Or we move away and examine facts on their merit. The choice is ours. It takes time to be informed. But a lifetime won’t be enough to repair the consequences of taking things on Faith alone.
Promises have no role to play in politics. They are less reliable than cheap toilet paper. National Security cannot be entrusted in the care of foreign powers. Neutrality means nothing today because it is based on a gentlemen’s agreement. As international treaties go they cannot replace hard military power for defence against aggression. If a foreign power sees an in, they will exploit it. It is the job of statesmen to bridge those security gaps left open by their gullible predecessors. War and Peace depend on it!
Russia is not the USSR. If faced with an existential threat, it will take down the world. People should stop getting high on their own supply. Propaganda is bad. BS propaganda even worse.
They say that the only people who see the end of the war are the dead. I wonder if that is the only certainty in this solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short Life of ours.
The logic of cold wars dictates that if one Block is black the Other must be white.
We live in an age of chaos. So far chaos has been contained and controlled in a sandbox by the world powers. But playing with chaos is a risky proposition. One slip of hand and the bets are off. If you want to know more, step right in.
World peace is at stake. America and Russia are willing to destroy the world for the sake of world domination. And we the denizens of the only inhabited world sit idly by while the whole house if about to crumble. But before acting we must understand what is going on.
