The
U.S. Senate voted to make foreign policy again with a negative act of
new sanctions on Russia. It is easier to be negative and destructive
rather than positive and progressive. Though the Senate cannot get a
budget passed usually and has run up 20 trillion dollars of U.S. debt
it wants to spread the misery about as best it can.
The
President has tried hard to get Russia-U.S. relations onto a positive
footing while the House and Senate has worked to move things to as
hostile of a relationship as they can. When not fighting themselves
political in Repub vs Democrat they can just take time out for
sanctions.
It
is disappointing that U.S.. leadership is usually so daft. America in
a sense is a nation of adopted people without a good ethnic cultural
identity, and in that collage of values and ideas the worst rises to
the top socially and politically.
The
amazing thing is that the nation does so well economically except
where mass social influences are involved. It requires fairly few
people to invent things and keep things going while the majority can
just be operators, consume and hassle about. The political evolution
of that is probably toward the sounds of weapons of mass destruction
in time.
It
is interesting that God has seen fit to provide an unsaved lot of
Muslims to chastise the corrupt atheist masses in lieu of Christians
whom are not situated to defend themselves against the atheists of
the U.S. and Europe. Amazing times.
