World War 3, Really?

Everywhere I read there are out of shape men writing about an evil Chinese-Russian alliance, warning “the west” of detente and how Hitler used it to kill 100 million people. I swear to God these people watch too much history channel, or play far too many violent video games. It’s almost as if they’re erect, sexually aroused, while writing this nonsense. They yearn for the days of World War, despite never living through one.

On the front page of Drudge Report is a bunch of crap regarding Chinese missiles and how they are now sucking off the Russians to jointly screw over America. After all, it’s all about us. I am sure it’s the first thing on everyone’s mind, whether it be in Switzerland, Japan or Mongolia: “what are those freedom loving white devils doing in America?”

Whoever is directing policy in this country, and it’s certainly not the government you and I see, is acutely paranoid and hell bent on controlling natural resources. This whole fiasco in The Ukraine would have some validity, if we weren’t the unfortunate fact that we drop tonnes of depleted uranium munitions on unsuspecting participants of Afghan wedding celebrations. I know, “we do more good than bad, collateral damage”…yadda, yadda, yadda.

How about this for a change: let other people settle their own problems. It won’t be because we’re cold hearted bastards; but because as a nation, we aren’t in a position to serve as world police. Let’s welcome refugees into this country with open arms and hope that they come with the same zeal and vigor of immigrants from the past, the men and women who built this country.

As for you bloggers and “journalists” out there saber rattling for the sake of page clicks, shame on you: may your house burn down at 10,000 degree temperatures.

    Suppose for a minute that the US had, inter alia, STRATEGIC MILLITARY INSTALLATIONS in the Philippines. The established, local government of the Phills is tight with the US, but there are other cliques that look up to their neighbors to the west. The other cliques get fed up with the US-backed government and take to the streets. They overthrow the status-quo and, with the help of the western allies, create a new interim government, one that is decidedly not aligned with the long-term plans of the US.

    What does the US do?

    Moving piece, Fly. Unfortunately, its easier to solve a trillion dollar debt problem by blowing shit up and break as many windows as possible. Look how trigger happy this nobel peace winner is.

    I believe 0bama will shine.
    As we speak the 0ne is preparing for an ultimatum to Putin.
    He is preparing a military convoy of Priuses (Prii) driven by transvestites.
    They will drive right into the Ukraine showing Putin how green and diverse we are.

      Also. The climate change psychopaths will lock themselves to a clearly labeled electric border fence in protest. Vlad will simply turn it on, and make s’mores.

    Let Russia have Crimea, after all it is just a case of indian giving.

    I agree with you, Fly, about letting the rest of the world settle its own affairs. However, I do think there is a place for US diplomats to operate behind the scenes to push for Ukraine to be an independent country, the people want western economies and responsive governments.

    If there is anything to be learned from history, it is that Russia loves to be “provoked” with military responses to aggression.

    Senor Fly do you see Russia as a buy on this news? The Ukraine sounds like a prize.

      Why would one sell such a bonanza of a hostile takeover? They appear to own not only the heat for Europe, but the food as well.

    All I know is Putin is screwing with my account, which is heavily tied to March expiration.

    I think we should just fire up the weather modification programs (extra Tesla [no TSLA]) and send them a bunch of freezing rain for 2 weeks straight then snow and ice. The soldiers with guns will start slipping as they run, and everyone will realize what idiots they look like and how stupid war is. They will set their guns down and rejoice in a game of hockey.

    Then, when they are all playing hockey, laughing together and enjoying “lasting peace” we can sneak up on them and kill them….
    Since they will all be dead, we then can beat them in hockey and take their medals. Bonus!

    More refugees? I hope when/if they come, they do not procreate like the Kenyans and Somalians, whose women spit out children in the double digits, then sit back, collect food stamps and cram their families into Section 8 housing. No one comes here to work anymore.

      I’m hoping you’re just being inflammatory to be funny. Immigrants are the backbone of any real city.

    Futures just popped up about 10 points on news Putin ordered some troops, where I don’t know, back to their bases. I hope this whole charade is over by week’s end.

    By the way, anyone think this reeks of possible market manipulation by Putin and some other high profile Russians? There’s no telling how much money they could’ve made off this whipsaw.

      New Normal. Definition; the presence of people is in fact eternally profitable. Eye balls squirt gold tears and blink silver pieces of eight. Liking; unicorns that shit 100$ bills. Russia has 120ish million people that do that as well.

    America is the root of all terror. America has invaded sixty countries since world war 2.
    In 1953 America overthrow Iran’s democratic government Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed a brutal dictator Shah. America helped Shah of Iran to establish secret police and killed thousands of Iranian people.
    During Iran-Iraq war evil America supported Suddam Hossain and killed millions of Iranian people. In 1989, America, is the only country ever, shot down Iran’s civilian air plane, killing 290 people.
    In 2003,America invaded Iraq and killed 1,000,000+ innocent Iraqi people and 4,000,000+ Iraqi people were displaced.
