…, keep the people distracted and well fed.
Amen to that!
That is what worries me the most. Watching the USA is like watching the Titanic leaving on its maiden voyage, unsinkable … till that quick argument with an iceberg that is not supposed to be there.
Russia and China “could” just be that “iceberg”. They both are playing it very very cool. Putin and Xi Jinping are no-ones fools. They cannot get into and stay in those position for so long and not have the balls to do what they deem necessary if they are forced to.
And are they wrong? USA allowed for so long that China “steals”. Did they actually steal or did the USA allow that, political expediency / better interest rates? Putin asking that the USA exits the Middle East, Obama tried, for as Putin said, it is a local matter and none of the USA’s business.
Something is wrong and I don’t think it is on Russia and China. More Americans need to get involved in politics outside of their home / county / state / USA, learn what transpired right under noses done by their duly elected senators / presidents.
The world is stressed, and it is affecting the USA, which in turn is getting antsy.
At least no one is keeping us distracted, nor fed. Antifa would be but a silent burp compared to what we know. No, don’t send them here for “training”. 😉
Like a few prominent political quotes from our politicians, who need farmers to feed them:
“A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.”
“Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer.”
“One settler one Bullet.”
“Awuleth’ Umshini Wami.” (Bring me my machine gun)
With the above slogans, when the people are truly well psyched up, then you send them into the street, chanting the above, giving them matches. 🙂
(Yes, we still have a sense of humour.)
