I’m fully cognizant of the death of empires, and Balkanization as a strategy. It’s a favorite ploy of tyrants throughout history. I have some insight in the region, probably more than most.
Suffice to say, I am under no illusion regarding the legitimacy of the conflicts or altruistic nature of any of the belligerents. It has cost many souls, and I’m not talking about those killed by the reign of terror. It’s the cost of corruption when a nation allies itself with evil.
Nothing good has come from this entire misadventure, and more evil lurks on the horizon. The difference being we have a new administration led by a man who is not part of the Machiavellian players guild. I maintain hope that God may stay his hand, though I cannot say any of us deserve such mercy.
There are no innocents among the powers, and many of our decent military members have lost their innocence through enforced association and cultural relativism. We still have good men in military prisons for doing exactly what any moral man does when confronted by evil incarnate.
If you think Trump is not part of the Machiavellian group, then you’re naive my friend. Trump is amazing and a natural at tapping into a crowd or an audience. As far as motives, eh, don’t reqally care.
Just feeling a little fortunate that HRC is now the punch line for jokes about pant suits, depends and stumbling. She’s just so unlikable that it’s actually pathetic. She’s all alone surrounded by parasites and conniving toadies.
Just the photo of her eating breakfast all by herself made me smile. Like it’s been said, I’ve never wished death upon anyone, but I’ve read some obituaries with a smile.
