The Cossacks are back......
And they are not nice. No, not one bit. I was, finally, eligible for Medicare this year and I honestly believed that this sort of abomination had been gotten rid of with the "Socialist Enlightment that ran rampant in those continents. So when Russia attacked Georgia my thoughts ran something like:
...why didn't anyone listen?
...what will the Europeans say now?
...what will our uberlefties do about it?
...I thought we were finally done with this!
...Oh, my god (remember I am an atheist) what
can the world do about this now with all this hatred.....
Anyway, you get my drift. I know the Western Europeans can't and won't do anything but issue words (they do matter, don't they)? The poor Eastern Europeans haven't had enough time to become tough enough to slow or stop the brutish bear called Russia, aka Putin.
My take on all of this is that mankind has been doing whatever it wants, when it wants...until the early part of last century. WWI and WWII were fought for a novel reason: to stop the hordes of hate. I don't believe anything like this had ever happened before but then there had never been a United States of America before in those circumstances. Just recently I heard author, Barbara Oakley, say that scientists believe about 2% of the genetic structure of Genghis Khan (Temujin) appears in a huge majority of the population!!! It appears to me that Russia and points south and east have considerably more than that. Russia is after all, the country that kept its population in feudal status longest. Not to mention the tens of millions if not hundreds murdered by those before Stalin, Stalin and forward. Why, there are even reports of pillaging and raping...old tried and true methods of increasing your gain and destroying the soul of human beings. Talk about old fashioned! Here in the US, we just pillage during our little "hate" fests. Lest I forget: George, when you "looked" deep into Putin's eyes, that gleam was not happiness, it was avarice...just thought I'd let you in on that little Putin secret.
So, now we are back to square one with a major difference: Islamofascism. Hmmmm....care to guess which side they will be on now? Russia shoots first and asks questions later. We have to put them on trial first and then send them home. You choose!
