Neocons - why do they write such drivel? Stand with Putin.
You don’t have to stand with Putin to despise neocons. What I think is funny is the neocons’ breathless reporting about places like Crimea, Abkhazia, Ossetia, as if they’ve always been thinking about them and concerned about what goes on there. Will Putin move on Moldova, Schizvanli, or Spingali? Who cares? He took over a huge part of Georgia. Great, we have a Marxist in our White House. Will kicking Putin out of Crimea raise my salary or put food on my table? It might lower gas prices, probably not, but a better way to lower prices is to get the Marxists out of DC.
It's hard to know what is really happening, but there is a major change from Abrams’ time. We are no longer a beacon to the world. We are ourselves’ led by power mad corrupt elites who use every situation to raise taxes and exercise control. We have no moral imperative when exporting gay rights and the IRS is our main initiative.
Ukraine and Crimea were part of the Soviet Union in 1991. Whatever Putin is doing, he is not engaging in massacres like the screeching neocons believe. I was reading a book recently about the war fever prior to World War One, and how Wilson declared war on Germany. It has been quite common for our elite masters to gin up a war to rally the rubes to the flag in order to abet their own crimes.
