Ukraine, can we ever get enough of Ukraine? Like zombies, media, government officials, and the whole population seem to be in a drunken stupor in support of the war in Ukraine. So quickly we morph into minions supporting the killing machine which is the U.S. military. With only a sparse understanding of the conflict we pick the good guy and the bad guy. Proud of our stance we offer up the word traitor to describe anyone that questions the government’s truth.
Neville Chamberlain was criticized for opposing war or better said an ill-conceived war. “In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers. How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a faraway country between people of whom we know nothing.
And so it is with Ukraine; all this concern and passion for people in a faraway country and we know nothing about them. William Butler Yeats, The Second Coming: “The best lack all conviction; while the worst are filled with passionate intensity.” And here we are funding a war with Russia in an attempt to squash all resistance to U.S. hegemony.
I don’t see any good guys or bad guys; I see the results of this war as the same as the others. Debt and plenty of it, thousands dead and maimed, and the victors planning the next incursion into the lives of unsuspecting victims.
Our leaders are foolish and we are fools for allowing them to trivialize the blood, sweat, and tears of our countrymen and those that suffer the bombs we eagerly supply.
Like the lockdown mania of the past couple years, we now will pay an even higher price for allowing evil men to take the reigns of the most powerful country in the world. Famine was already raising its ugly head and this Ukrainian fiasco will give that head a voice that will mock our wokeness and laugh at our red line drawn in the sand.
Winston Churchill said about Russian, “Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an inigma. Try to get our current batch of “statesmen” to understand that simple truth and I’d bet all they could do is scratch their heads.
