LOUD BUZZZZY NOISE

 Read this bit of tripe and ponder what it truly says about both Slow Joe and Osama or whatever he calls himself these days....

It looks like the right side of the aisle wants to use this as some sort of Lame attack on Osama but if you look behind the curtain you can see the reality. Obama had spent years gutting NATO and the US and when confronted by a Putin who was really in charge and running Russia, he did what any objective ruler would do and bowed to the inevitable. There was no way to keep Russia from taking back a place so strategically vital as Crimea. It was a mistake to allow it to slip into Ukrainian hands and those stupid hacks screwed it up massively by inflaming the Russians by their treatment of ethnic Russians living in what was a premier retirement resort and mecca for wealthy Russian oligarchs.

Biden and other idiots would see this as some sort of blunder by Osama and claim that they would have stood right up and attacked Russia with....................what exactly? Sanctions? That didn't work out well. Economic embargo? That really screwed the Bretton-Woods pooch. War? It's not really on the table anymore as we think of it. If War, then it will be something awful and eye opening; kind of like our defeat in Afghanistan should have been or possibly our inability to deal with a shitty little dump like Yemen.

One has to conclude that our entire foreign policy has been (1) screwing the pooch, and (2) badly thought out for the past 40 or 50 years, with minor exceptions. Why we felt it was our job to wander around the world overthrowing governments with 'color revolutions' and trying to cookie-cutter them into representative democracies like our own, regardless of the cultures and desires of the people living within them baffles me. Turns out we are really bad a 'nation building.' And I mean REALLY bad.

Unless, of course, the goal was just to sow anarchy so that financial interests could loot and plunder them while killing lots of people. While we the people paid for it in blood and treasure. We did accomplish that.

We've used our military as a backstop for our financial profligacy, trying to keep the dollar as the world's reserve currency despite our economic ignorance. That is coming to an end, as both the dollar and our military become hollow shells of what they once were.
