free-range politics, organic community

AKA Ukrainian eggs (писати) have origins in pagan times symbolizing renewal or spring right.

I'd like to ask the c99 community for some help with a couple of perplexing questions.

We were sitting across from one another during dinner this evening, my dinner partner and I. I wont name names to protect the innocent (me), but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out of whom I speak.

I keep wanting to connect the dots with Trump, the real estate mogul and his principal capos Witkoff, another RE mogul, and Kushner, a wanna be RE developer of the future Gaza Riviera. Clearing the land of "entanglements" is the first negotiation, probably with Israeli oil companies.
It's all about making "deals".

This present mis-information campaign being waged by
the propaganda machine on the US population continues to
escalate to the point of total confusion.

While one politician states "we won the war in Iran", another
will announce the hostilities will continue "until objectives are
achieved". As one states "minimal US casualties", the next will
opine "there will be many more deaths".

Middle East Wrestlemania!

Blinking my pretty damned cynical eyes at the brazen bull shit coming out of the Federal Government with contradictions galore and absurdity for dessert. It is as if it just never occurs to them that the obvious question from anybody hearing the bragging about how we are stomping the crap put of Iran is, "Then why ain't it over?"

All I can say, folks, is hang on. We're all in this together and don't expect help from the government, unless, of course, you are a billionaire and can afford to buy politicians.

Wars Gone Wrong

Doug Macgregor described our approach to war as, "Ready, FIRE, Aim!". I think that is about right, or as my family used to say, "You've got your wagon in front of your horse". The US has no understanding of other cultures (and doesn't want it). We are arrogant about our power, which is waning fast, and to put the icing on the cake, we're incompetent. No wonder NATO is losing in Ukraine, and my bet is the US and Israel will lose a protracted war to Iran and their Russian and Chinese allies. These are all signs of end of empire, and I for one wish we would accept it and join the new cooperative win-win world order. Instead, we must prevent the rise of peer powers...how foolish.
