The Russians are not coming

 

I have been seeing a lot of videos about the possiblity of a Russian attack on NATO.

That is NOT going to happen.

Anyone can see that it is not going to happen.

If Russia cannot handle Ukraine, how are they going to take on NATO?

Clearly there are warmongers who want a conflict so they can make money off it.  In fact. maybe they don't want a war, just a new Cold War to keep it going for generations....and keep the money rolling in,

Russia MIGHT get a Pyhricc victory out of this war, but it is not something to trumpet to the sky.

Russia's military has some serious problems. This war is providing some serious lessons and a reevaluation of what wars are like now....Especially with drones.  They are a real game changer.

Given how many NATO countries seem to have a pesonal vendetta against free speech (Britian and Germany), I wonder if we should even be part of the alliance.

When Russia arrests less people than Britain for tweets, there is a problem.

One problew we don't have is an immient Russian attack on NATO. 

Not sure what they were thinking,...

 

Wisconsin does have a history of electing socialist candidates, but they did see literate.

Francesca Hong did a great Kamala Harris impression at times, not making any sense and trying to back out of things she had said or tweeted quite forcefully at times.

In the end, she was a terrible candidate.

And for some reason, pollsters kept saying she was going to win the Democratic nomination.

Not that she is a Democrat...she is a Democratic Socialist, which is another way of saying "Communist."

The whole Democratic Socialists of America scam is trying to take over the Democratic Party.  It is a smart strategy given the lack of third party success in this country. The problem is that they seem to put nincompoops up for nomination.

They have gotten a few in, which is terrifying.

If you want evidence that Communism does not work, look at the Berlin Wall.

Capitalism is not perfect.  It has its share of faults. I have pointed them out before, particularly the tendency to destroy competition and create oligarchies. Communism is bascially its own form of oligarchy.  With capitalism, you have a government that (hopefully) breaks up monopolies.  Communism is a monopoly.

Having said that, the wanna-be nobility that wants to arise out of an oligarchy (capitalist or communist) need to be careful.  Under capitalism, market pressures, and some government intervention when necessary keep things under control.  If the oligarchs subvert the government and try to impoverish and oppress everyone, well, let's just say....

FRENCH REVOLUTION!!! 

If you say it can't happen here, you just took the first step to making it happen.

Dictatorships, right or left, always fall.

The best way to avoid it?  As Tom Hanks once said in "A League of Their Own," very simply "Use your head, its that lump three feet over your ass!"

Thus endth the sermon!
