THE WAR DABBLERS

 NATO is the very poster child of lost and forgotten mythical beings that only lived in the backs of closets under something you'd rather not shove out of the way to look under. This amusing site  points out that our NATO allies are about as honest and forthcoming as one can expect from a group of terrified people on the brink of fighting a hopeless war against a terrible and powerful enemy that cannot fail to smash them into the dust.........wait. I'll go back. 

Showing uncommon nonchalance in the face of a titanic evil superpower, the good people of western Europe cheerfully spat on America and woefully under-prepared for war by ignoring all the wisdom of the ages that shows the truth that if you fear war you should be prepared.....wait, I'll start again.

Perhaps we should do our bit and tell the good people of Europe our history of waging war on that continent and they will understand their position a little more thoroughly then heretofore. In 1914 all the European twits lunged at each other with murder and mayhem in their hearts and tore each others guts out before we decided 3 years later to get involved.

In 1939 all European twits lunged at each other with murder and mayhem in their hearts and tore each others guts out before we decided 2 years later to get involved but only after one of the stupid bastards declared war on US. 

So, when we say, "that you can count on us to save you from your silly little wars of the future," consider how we mean those words. You guys fight on your own for a year or two and we'll start thinking about getting involved in yet another one of your pointless, stupid, meaningless wars.

And who knows? The way things look now, Europe would be forced to surrender even faster than France or Belgium in the last war and we won't have to fight at all. 

On the other hand, it may well be that Europeans have finally woken up to the fact that if they maintain anything at all that even looks or smells like an actual army or navy they will be buried in politicians eager to use it to go commit murder and mayhem somewhere else in Europe. Maybe its best if they really did just disarm.

I know, how many of us can say Kellogg-Briand Pact with a straight face even now almost 100 years later?

You know it was a dream once that sane and mostly sober men could take away the fear and banish war just by making ready for it because they all understood the one single essential true thing about every war in history. Every single one of them started because some powerful fool thought, "this time, he could win!" Modernists over the last 170 years modified that charming nonsense into the newer and more powerful version that declared that every war would always be over by Christmas. You see? "A quick war that we will win"!

I see that President Trump et al is winding down his attempt at making a peace in Ukraine and accepting the reality that Zelensky is not the slightest bit interested in peace. All the idiots propping him and Ukraine up to continue a pointless war they cannot ever win has gone to his head and convinced him that he can just keep on fighting and to a certain point there is some truth in that. The thing is of course and what almost nobody in the world really understands is that neither side has actually been fighting any kind of war. It is all bloody theater.

Neither Putin nor Russia are fighting a war. They keep telling everyone that but nobody understands what is being said. Russia is fighting a Special Military Operation and to make it clear that means that Russia is very much waging a special operation whose entire purpose is to gut western Europe and NATO and destroy and level their economies. Everyone poopoo's Russia as a gas station with Nukes but seriously, they grow more powerful every day and Europe only shrinks into less and less relevance anywhere.

Just try to think how would you go about destroying NATO as it was, if you had 60 years and special KGB Training to set it up?

-long march through the institutions turning them all against their own governments/peoples (done)

-fund the suicidal peace and anti-nuke cavalcades of dimwits all through the 60s, 70s and 80s (done)

-create out of whole cloth the Green Movement outside the COMINTERN to devastate the west (done)

-spark great friction between the allies over Treaty failures and unfair trade (done)

-gut the military through under-funding and public ridicule until nobody joins up anymore (done)

-continuously gut their economies by emphasizing free trade and globalization (done)

-have them import vast numbers (hordes) of people antithetical to everything in the West (done)

Create and cast the image of your nation as just a friendly and not so thuggish bear, sort of like Paddington. (done)

-Wage a mostly gentle and harmless special military operation that gradually consumes every $ and free Euro to pour into Ukraine's bottomless pit of corruption instead of spending it on their own military and carefully manage one of the most fake wars since The Phony War to lure the idiots into thinking they were on the point of victory or triumph or at least nondefeat in spite of the facts on the ground. (in progress)

-Don't shut down the gas lines, energy grids, don't attack the gas lines, energy grids, don't declare and enforce a naval blockade of Ukraine and don't retaliate even after it is painfully obvious that the Europeans have crossed the line and are now co-belligerents with Ukraine in a war against Russia. Do not rile up the lib/progs in the US.

You see Putin and his guys understand something that is true now but we don't know how much longer it will be true. "Nobody at all in the West is the slightest bit interested in fighting and dying for their country, way of life or anybody else's and absent the Will, there is no Way."

It kind of helps that the Arsenal of Democracy cannot make weapons in quantities necessary to fight even the most limited and harmless little war and the production lines are all gone or impossible to scale up to meaningful numbers. The arsenals and depots in the West are all empty. The old War Reserve stocks of vehicles and ammo is long gone.

The talking heads persist in thinking and saying that Russia is in trouble but failed to notice the BRICS and the loss of the $ as the world's reserve currency. They kind of failed to notice the offshoring of all the critical components of our modern war machines such as the microchips and the rare earth metals. The thing is though, Russia can maintain this level of effort for decades. The West cannot.

Tomorrow I'll write about peace in the little Satan reaches of the middle east.
