It´s déjà vu all the way down. Seriously. I mean, Trump´s Iran War is rapidly turning into a copycat of the Iraq War and/or the Gulf War. So are the reactions to it. The only thing missing is the "decent left". You know, the leftists who actually supported the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It´s because of the Donald, of course. Imagine being less popular on the left than *George freakin´ Dubya*!
Har noterat en intressant sak med SAP:s första maj-affischer. I vart fall de i Stockholm. Den traditionella sosseparollen "Alla folks frihet - hela världens fred" har bytts ut mot "För alla folks frihet", punkt. En liten fingervisning om hur SAP:s rådslag om NATO kommer att sluta...?
Nooshi går från klarhet till klarhet. Hon låter ju som Sveriges Kinesiska Parti här! Eller som en ovanligt konsekvent shachtmanit. Funderar allvarligt på att fortsätta rösta V om detta fortsätter, LOL.
The renegade province known as "the People´s Republic of China" is trying to provoke a war with the legit Chinese gov provisionally housed in Taipeh on the island of Formosa.

Lite fascinerande att de "vakna" globo-liberalerna och deras ännu "vaknare" vänsterliberala påhäng ständigt jämför USA:s debacle i Kabul med USA:s dito i Saigon.
Hmmm...
Jag trodde det var politisk ortodoxi i dessa kretsar att Vietnamkriget var ett gigantiskt misstag, ja rentav reaktionärt på något sätt. Har jag missat någon ny "omprövning" någonstans?
För om man jämför Kabuls fall med Saigons, så jämställer man ju FNL med talibanerna, och Nordvietnam med Pakistan. Vidare jämställer man regimen i Saigon med "den demokratiska regeringen" i Kabul, den som vi förväntas stödja cuz reasons.
Om skribenterna verkligen tycker att man ska stödja Nguyen Van Thieu, får de gärna säga det. Annars kanske det är läge att byta metafor. Ja, jag vet inte. Finns det någon annan som ens fungerar? Syndafallet, kanske?
This really isn´t funny anymore. I´m old enough to remember when Yeltsin was the "leader" of Russia, leaving the US (or perhaps its simulacrum) as the sole remaining superpower.
Now, history is repeating itself, except that now *America* has a president that makes Boris Nikolaevich look almost badass.
Of course, Biden isn´t really in charge of anything, but there *is* such a thing as optics. How do *you* think Russia, China, Iran, Taliban, Suliban, Sillyban or the local Hare Krishna Antifas will interpret the clip above?
But sure, if CNN holds another town hall, maybe Joe will accidentally spill the beans on Roswell, I suppose that could be of some interest...
And no, Kamala Harris doesn´t scare anyone either.
I´m not sure if I want to be the Clemenceau of the West, or just its Quisling. Or was it Kuusinen?

I can´t say I´m a big fan of Russia and China. On a very good day, I can suffer Hungary. And I really do mean "suffer"!
And yet, here we are.
Something very strange is going on when Russia and China become the foremost defenders of, ahem, Western civilization. It´s supposed to be us, you know. The Rooskees and celestials are supposed to be our ENEMIES for heaven´s sake!
Is there some historical precedent for this, maybe? I don´t know, something about Roman culture surviving among the Germanics, pre-Rabbinic Judaism surviving among the Gentiles (as "Christianity"), or something like that?
Asking for a friend named Max.
Joe Biden (or one of his handlers) recently tweeted this: "When I'm speaking to foreign leaders, I'm telling them: America is going to be back. We're going to be back in the game".
Ooops.
