Doing what?
See, “we should be doing something” leads senators and pinheads in the State Dep’t to do some really stupid things. When citizens call them out and say “you’re doing something stupid!” they reply
“Well, you said ‘we should do something!’ and this is ‘something’, so we’re doing it.”
We should be doing nothing at this point, because it is:
a) quite obvious we don’t fully know or understand what is going on,
b) even more obvious we don’t have people in the executive branch right now who understand Putin
c) and it is even more obvious that we have no logistics in place to deal with the Russian threat of shutting off energy exports to western Europe.
In short, we have no good options to “do something.” What is being proposed now is just chum for the western press, and won’t result in anything other than annoying Ivan. It isn’t going to stop anything from happening.
Doing something futile and pointless is the action of the impotent. Doing nothing and maintaining an air of uncertainty over what we’d do is the stronger position.
If it's going on we know that it's about Western banking interests and their political stooges trying to maintain control so that they can continue stealing what isn't nailed down. The Chinese and Russians are getting uppity about continuing to accept our bad paper. Having said that, the Chinese and Russian leaders are scum too. Can't think of an American kid I know that I want to die so that the financial interests can continue to sell bets on the quality of Chicago paper or Greek paper or whatever byzantine scam they're trying to pull off.
