I know I've talked about this before, but it is truly bizarre. Never-Trumper John McCain was the one who turned the fake documents generated as a joke on Rick Wilson over to the intelligence community. The media dutifully rolled it out because Russia is now the biggest threat to America.
I get confused sometimes. When Reagan was president and called the old Soviet Union "the evil empire", the media lost their minds, screaming that Reagan was trying to start a nuclear war. Now, Russia, which still has operable nuclear weapons and reliable delivery capabilities, is being vilified and attacked by leftist politicians, neo-cons, establishment Republicans, and their media minions. The evening news might as well be the globalists' Ministry of Truth.
We know that the globalist financial situation is precarious, to say the least. The central banks (ECB, BOJ, the Fed, etc.) have been working every angle and probably colluding with one another to keep the debt and equity bubble from bursting. As a warning of what is to come, the Fed has ever so slightly bumped their rates. If the rates go back to historic levels, government defaults become almost inevitable. Even the U.S. government would have to make real budget cuts in order to continue to service its massive debt burden.
We have states there are in trouble due to pension funding. A few months back, Illinois had a moratorium on paying winners of the state's lottery games. The big winners are mostly paramutual, so you know the money had to be there at some point for that. It's insane. And it's probably going to get worse.
Trump's efforts are noble, perhaps, but a few thousand manufacturing jobs would seem to be a drop in the bucket relative to the global financial tsunami that threatens.
However, a good war, that would change things. Assets and resources would be up for grabs. Defense spending would increase. The Russians, so the neo-cons believe (I don't) would be brought to heel, and the nationalist Putin could be replaced with a more pliable, globalist puppet.
The population gets reduced. Economies are boosted. Central banks gain assets. The debt defaults that need to happen would get covered up in all the excitement and fear.
War with Russia is immoral, unnecessary, and stupid. Drowning men clutch at straws.

Sounds like a plan. Give me a holler when the radiation levels drop a bit so I can leave my bunker.
I'm going to speak heresy here. I don't care if the Baltic countries come under Russian domination.
ReplyDeleteSaw today we are sending troops and tanks into Poland for the first time. That would be like the Russians sending troops and tanks to the US/Mexican border. Does not sound like a good move.
It seems Obama has done everything he can in his 'last days' to confirm that he is a complete moron when it comes to foreign policy and Russia in particular. I live a long way from the USA and Europe, although hoping to visit both later this year, but Trump is correct when suggesting that a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship with Russia is preferable to war.
ReplyDeleteIf our politicians believe that war is the only way out of our economic problems, then truely all hope is lost.
