P&D is a small blog by any evaluation, but it's read regularly in over 10 countries around the world daily. On October 8, 2022, in that last 24 hours, P&D was read in: United States, Turkey, France, Germany, Russia, Singapore, Netherlands, Romania and unnamed "Other" countries.
In the previous seven days P&D was also read in Slovenia, Italy and Ukraine and in the previous 30 days, Indonesia, Sweden,
Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, Brazil, Cambodia were added. I estimate I have readership in at least 20 nations around the
world, either daily, weekly or occasionally. Pretty good for a bugman.
Big list for today, starting with this Thought For the Day followed by John Droz Jr's., The Media Balance Newsletter: 10/10/22.
Then I've listed five commentaries, and 15 links. The theme? America and the world in a crisis of definition, clarity and understanding, and the left is to blame, supported by those who claim to be on the right.
As for this folly of America's involvement in this Russo/Ukrainian War, I'm left with this conclusion. Ukraine is done whether they win or lose. Their infrastructure is finished and no one's going to pay to fix it. Their population is dissipated and once they start making lives for themselves somewhere else, many will not return and they already had a demographic problem, just like the rest of Europe and Russia.
They're arrogantly telling everyone they won't negotiate but between 40 and 60 percent of their military is made up of mercenaries. Who's paying for that? We are to the tune of tens of billions of untraceable and uncontrolled dollars. They have no army. So corrupt beggars have no right to be choosers.
Also, I keep asking myself: Since the Ukraine government was one of the most corrupt on the planet, one the Biden Crime Family was involved with, would the Ukrainian people be any worse off or better off if the Russians swept over the nation without destroying everything? My conclusion is they would be no worse off and maybe better.
This was a European problem and we should have stayed out of it, and now it appears there are CIA and U.S. Special Forces in Ukraine. How long before NATO forces, aka, American troops are there?
I would have never involved America beyond condemning them in every international forum available and enacted economic sanctions. Europe brought this on themselves, with their arrogant and stupid energy policies that obligated them to the Russians, so let them fix it or not. Haven't we had enough of their stupidity over the last 120 years?
If you're a moral person you have to be upset at the human suffering they've endured. If you're a rational person you have to recognize what happens in these countries isn't our responsibility. In short, from a practical viewpoint, I don't care what happens to those countries, this has been going on for centuries, what makes anyone believe we can fix them? Putin can't properly occupy these nations,and if he's too abusive he'll face terrorist attacks, but either way, how does that impact America? Where is the advantage to America for getting involved?
I don't see any more reason for getting involved in European conflicts any more than we are already stuck with. And certainly no more reason to get into this war than there was in our getting into WWI.
Woodrow Wilson was an Anglophile, and while he publicly took a position he wanted to keep America out of the war, he was in fact working behind the scenes to push America into the war. The Lusitania and Mexico/Germany scenarios (Zimmerman Note) were excuses. Just that excuses! They knew there was no way Germany could help Mexico and the Lusitania was a British passenger ship illegally carrying contraband to support England, and in no way justified war just because there were Americans on board.
He should have beat up on the Brits who knew this ship was a legitimate target because of it's cargo, not used it as an excuse to help push America into WWI, the greatest disaster of human history as it created the framework for everything that's happened since, and is considered nothing more than a prelude to WWII. All were false narratives that "justified" America throwing away 117,000 young America lives, with over 300, 000 casualties, many of those young men's lives destroyed forever.
I do wish more people had read the Guns of August as I see the same pattern of insanity being played out by politicians and the media. America has no skin in this game and needs to stay home. I wouldn't have given them ten cents of our money and wouldn't let one ounce of American blood be spilled in their behalf. We can't fix those who won't be fixed. None of this is not our responsibility, and none of this is our fault!
And it's my view by the time this all plays out, assuming there's no nuclear exchange, the EU will be done, Europe and Russia will be an economic and social mess turning both into third world societies, China will suffer serious economic downturns, and if America stays out of it and stops giving money to these corrupt thugs, money we don't have, America wins.
If we're caught between them and us. I'm all for us.
