Contrary to popular belief killing the leaders of sovereign nations is not a recipe for stability. Especially if you kill them as they are en route towards peace negotiations.
Perhaps people allied with nations that lure people in with promises of work only to keep as defacto slaves for building skyscrapers shouldn’t moralize too much.
Today we examine a man who disagrees.
Maybe, I’m being a bit too snarky but then again my cited sources are a former counter-terrorism specialist who worked for the CIA and the budget director from the Raegan administration so I’m a crazy hippy. Prone to snark and feels over reals.
I guess I just can’t help but spread all kinds of crazy ideas like avoiding foreign entanglements.
What we basically have is two competing worldviews that of Plato’s Republic and that of John Locke. One believes in unipolar rule by a small elite who know best – the other takes a slightly dimmer view of boffins.
In this video I give broadbrush personal impressions of geopolitical tensions. Including Iran, China, Russia, and Europe in the wake of Brexit.

The preferred beverage of those silent servants in the civilian officer corps who’ve been sending waves and waves of our men at somebody, for some reason, for generations. Godspeed gentlemen…Godspeed!
It’s been 15 years since ‘Team America World Police’ taught us the meaning of patriotism. It’s heartening to see that the seeds of freedom it planted continue to blossom in the hearts of keyboard warriors across this brave land of ours.
McNamara’s Domino Theory of War
I decided to comment on a YouTube video and received a swift bald eagle to the nuts for my communism.
Here is my shameful faux-pas: Not digging the slippery slope argument. Our involvement in the middle east often precipitates further destabilization. Saddam and Gaddafi weren’t saints but they did bring stability. I’m surprised that someone as reasonable as yourself on the Assad kerfuffle is spouting neocon foreign policy just to stick it to a wanker.
This Marxist screed must be due to my Russian origins. Forgive me I’ve had a bit too much vodka. Sure supporting military adventures all around the world while the economy stagnates might seem unwise but that’s because as a godless Bolshevik I don’t have enough faith.
Thank sweet baby Jesus, and the applepie bakin’ mammy that birthed him behind the Nashville bar, where Elvis made his first pelvic thrust into our hearts that a true patriot was around to set me on the straight and narrow: blah, blah, blah, everything is always America’s fault. Got it. How did America deserve the ’93 WTC bombing? Was that just “blowback” too? Is America always at fault for everything?
Ah…but alas surviving on canned goods for the benefit of the Politburo has stupefied me, and I can’t help but spread red propaganda from Frankfurt school luminaries like George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
nobody said america is to blame. the military industrial complex that eisenhower warned us about gets us into foreign entanglements that george washington warned us about. your idea of patriotism is unamerican, gets americans killed, and impoverishes the nation.
