I hesitate to post on the war because all of you know far more about it than I do and, to be fair, there's not much glory in being an armchair general even if the chair's solidly ensconced in your favorite club's Coffee Room, and the General's baton's a glass of vintage.
Disclaimer over, where are we at? Pretty deep financially, with moar cash flowing to the Ukraine in one year than we spent on the entirety of the Afghan adventure. Sorry, Ohio, there's other priorities in play and don't say 10% to the Big Guy.
Militarily? If you've read the news over the last year you might be surprised that AZOV hasn't retaken the Crimea and KRAKEN aren't at the gates of Moscow. Early reports of Russia's idiotically useless and corrupt attempt at military action were perhaps premature.
That in mind, brother Rus appears to have shifted from a failed attempt at NATO style precision to what they seemingly do best, lobbing thousands of shells per day at the enemy. "The Russian guns," said Der Fuhrer from his bunker as the indefatigable Hanna Reitsch flew in to Berlin in the Reich's hour of need.
We, in the meanwhile, are running out of ammo to send our eastern proxies and, lo and behold, China, Russia and Iran grow closer by the day. Here's a warning shot via Will Schryver:
Surely Schryver's wrong. We are most clearly ruled by prescient philosopher God Kings. Or would that be satanic nihilists. Just a thought.

Our leaders are certainly demigods on the order of Hercules. Just ask Pedo Joe. He'll explain it to you, Jack. You can ask the whore and she'll affirm you if you can decipher the cackles. Then there's Admiral Dick Levine, the luggage thief, and the trans secretary. I'm sure that the taxpayers will foot the bill for massive pyramids to house their clay and preserve their greatness long after they've moved on to the next life.
ReplyDeleteThat's intriguing, LL, I hadn't thought of the pyramids in conjunction with our beloved leaders before and now I have. That in mind, do they have the skill and expertise to build anything that'll last beyond the next decade or two?
ReplyDeleteImagine, gigantic LED lit sheet rock pyramids, and then it rains.
The bill will inevitably become due, but the power drunk spenders won't be the ones to pay it.
ReplyDeleteAlmost but not quite: We are ruled by prescient philosopher G-d Kings.
