The madness in the Ukraine continues.
There is a significant difference between Russian protestors and American protestors. We lay down in traffic. These fuckers lay siege. It makes me wonder just how serious anyone in America is about initiating government change. These protestors went apeshit after learning that Ukrainan president Viktor Yanukovych cut a deal with Putin to kill their agreements with the EU for cheaper Natural Gas.One protestor from the Right Sector was shot to death, and the carnage began. American government does worse--trading off freedoms for big business deals--and no one gives a fuck. The question here is one of passion: do we have any here in America?
Also--the sanctions will increase until subservience improves. America is afraid of Russia "driving a wedge" between American and European trade. Why? What is the fear? There is no good reason for this fear. It is high school cheerleader clique mentality. The only good reason for trade to
falter is a lack of decent product, and maybe that's the real fear. Perhaps we're afraid that someone might tell Europe they're getting screwed. Otherwise, all you have is the worry that somehow Russia will convince Europe that we are not the cool kids anymore and they will stop associating with us. That's a bullshit worry.
Or at least, it should be. At the present moment, this limp administration lacks lustre of any sort. There is something lame and drab about American leadership these days. Our people are going through a horrible social burnout due to over stimulation brought on by too many idiot voices, wannabe-revolutionaries doing nothing aside from laying down in traffic while wearing the plastic visage of a man who thought that the Catholic church was too lenient and Facebook reactionaries liking and un-liking memes posted about distracting non-issues, or even real issues without suggesting alternate routes. The onus of any protest is to have a suggestion for alternate routes rather than to just act or merely type out on account of unreasonable fears of coming change. The problem in America is just that--no one has any suggestions. We bitch for the sake of bitching. We protest to get on television. We just want to be a part of something and it makes no difference what that thing is. As soon as the next big thing comes along, the memes will change. People do this when they're bored, or when they have no anchor, and this administration has none. Our country is a barnacle-encrusted ship drifting along a tumultuous sea with no port in sight and an ever-more angry, scurvy-brained crew.
But fear not, the government has the cure. The same fantastic, time-honored cure to bad domestic relations and a worse economy: war. A repeat of the old Cold war only this time it may not be so cold. People have already forgotten about Iran, and this is a bad idea. Iran has not forgotten about us just because they're being quiet. Eventually Russia is going to get angry and start growling, and Iran will growl along with them. Like with Germany and Italy and Japan, it will be Russia and Iran on the assault and when no one is paying attention, a hard Pearl Harbor-style slap from China will come. At least, that's how it would be if we were all just playing a game of Risk. This knowledge will bring people together the same way it did when we turned a blind eye to the cocksuckers that blew up the World Trade Center. We are expected to turn a blind eye to the next attack. There will be one, not today, not tomorrow, but in my lifetime.
This is the world we leave to our children and people want to know why I refuse to procreate.
Is there a solution? Yes. Stop applying this "fuck with them you fuckin' with us" gangster mentality to an area of life where those with power are supposed to have reached psychological maturity. The Ukraine and other countries can take care of themselves, probably much better than we can take care of them. At least their protestors have balls and direction, something ours have lacked since the early seventies.
The bottom line: America would like to see Europe less dependent on Moscow for energy. Speculation: America would like to see Europe more dependent on American-controlled
energy coming from Moscow. Another president motioning to start a war he can't finish. These fucked up presidents unable to do anything for our country starting wars under the auspices of benefitting another country should be imprisoned. Soldiers--do you want to fight for that? No one overseas is fucking with our freedom. In fact, I cannot think of a single moment in my lifetime where American freedom was threatened by any other source aside from the American government.
Now there is something worth making into a meme.
