New Waves are Born (poem)

All of the flies
on thermals rise
each old one dies
new waves are born

Practical ones
fly to the sun
when day’s begun
new waves are born

Repent with dreams
salvation scheme
flood tides may seem
new waves are born

Survive in Arks
debark with quarks
to Noah’s park
new waves are born

Dead spirits end
what life did lend
break last not bend
new waves are born.

Watching the Cold War Wake Up from History

 Writing a somewhat historically accurate account of the background to the war in Ukraine, or more specifically deeper historical background leading up to the conflict seems useful to me. I would rather be one guy with a true account while 99% of the government have it wrong if that were the case, then be in sycophantic agreement with a majority as a mindless minion of  media/government/Wall Street/London Ukraine dibbery. With the reporting of post-modern liberalism stories; godless. queer leprechaun Sasquatch finally getting membership at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Baseballs or whatever (hyperbole), it is useful to have a plain and simple perspective on the lineal championship contest for the age old battle to posess Ukraine. Radio reporting does allow a high percent of illogic to pass through unchecked. Evaluating verbal reports with formal logical and historical tools is not as easy as when reading written reports since radio verbiage flows on like water under a bridge and for most listeners without extensive taping archives, disappears like morning dew. People accurately recall about 30% of what they hear, said a language coach, if I remember correctly.

With the severance of Russian oil imports to the U.S.A. Cold War version 2.0 has officially commenced. That will bring on many changes and memories to veterans of Cold War 1.0 The United States spent a great deal of time, money and lives in the history of bringing the Cold War to an end. Yet there were many jobs created, many proxy wars fought in the chess game that is not a game. Sober people and the good luck of Ronald Reagan concluded the matter peacefully. Lawyers rather than realists have rekindled the conflict, and it may demand new jobs and new alignments. Clinton, Biden and Putin are/were lawyers litigating the theft of Ukraine from Russia to the west. Germany tried to wrest that plum from Russia for the better part of the 20th century.

 President Clinton and the Brits administered the coup de grace in 1994 (too busy to be troubled by the genocide in Rwanda in that year) with a weak Yeltsin and Russia in disarray. The Soviets withdrew from Warsaw pact nations beginning in December 1988. President Reagan invited Russian participation in the free world economy and the sentiments of Russians and others behind the Iron Curtain responded with a modicum of trust; they evolved letting down their guard against N.A.T.O. and transitioned to a post-Soviet new world order. When Soviet Russian leadership released occupied Eastern European nations from custody fifty years after the war against NAZI Germany the west was restrained in violating that trust until President Clinton and British political leadership violated that trust in 1994 reversing the Russian reconquista of Ukraine in 1945 and in effect taking up where NAZI Germany left off. For Democrats law is about forcing rival parties and people to do what they don’t want to do. They call that democracy.

They should have known that a stronger Russia would one day litigate the matter through other means if necessary. Ukraine was stare decisis to the Anglo-American legal team though the matter was not res judicata. The strong N.A.T.O. position pulverizing Serbia might have brought President Yeltsin to sign some sort of relinquishing agreement with President Clinton like V.I. Lenin had signed with German Minister Molotov to get Germany to stop war on Russia. N.A.T.O. supremacy was seen as a tool for advancing the ‘Liberal World Order ‘ (pragmatically defined as an order for queer marriage, teaching of homosexuality to schoolkids, abortions, legal dope. concentrating wealth and no religion too). Probably there should have been a Russian plebiscite- an election, rather than British direction, concerning Russian freedom to choose what to do with  Ukraine. The Anglo-American posture of 1994 bears a resemblance to that of Britain following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East in 1918 drawing up international borders with the French.

At the level of international, state vs. state legal disputes the ultima ratio; the logic of kings, is historically, war. Those leaders that appeal to law to decide international issues may refer to their sovereign internal authority. Brits and U.S. leaders recently have expressed the opinion that rule of law- their own authority, has ruled since 1945. In 1994 the Anglo-American legal team regarded themselves as the ultimate legal authority of the Earth. Obviously they dismiss Russian authority and law in regard to Ukraine, as one expects from partisan lawyers in corporate disputes who invariably say the opposition arguments have no merit. The western position relies upon their own perception of superior power rather than of an impartial, objective regard for history. Meaningful history for the western legal team for the present dispute only extends to 1994 and 1945, dismissing inconvenient affairs before and during those periods. 

  Interestingly Russian efforts to retake the Ukraine seem to occur at approximate thirty year intervals. The leveraged Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was followed approximately thirty years later by the German occupation of Ukraine with a proximal Russian reconquista toward the end of W.W. 2. The leveraged relinquishment of Ukraine to President Clinton and the British legal team was followed approximately thirty years later by the new Russian effort for reconquista of Ukraine. That reminds me somewhat of the time that elapsed following the Dred Scott decision or Plessy vs Ferguson and Brown vs Board of Education. Correcting historical disputes isn’t always swift or final.

Cold Wars bring on economic changes; even new songs need to be written that are pro-war and of course de rigeur anti-war anthems. ”There’s no place I’d rather be, watching the world wake up from history.” Massachusetts could consider passing a law requiring school children grades 1-3 to take a knee beneath their desks in case of  atomic attack. The C.D.C . may open an investigation into political decisions leading to the brink of nuclear war to determine if they are a danger to public health. T-shirts could be sold that say Remember 1994! and Viva Oxford!

  While it may be too early for The Final Countdown version 2.0, or Alan Alda kinds of nuclear holocaust flicks, the time may be right for action-packed espionage films even though James Bond died in the last denouement. Cold War business start-ups may boom. I’ve wondered what could go into Cold War II espionage kits that could be sold on eBay for maybe $100, like maps to Russian forts, James Bond videos, disguises, miniature cameras and drones.  The kit should have a useful phrasebook for spies with phrases like; ‘My llama is Boris, I live in Soyuz Square. I like see-through blouse Natasha. Zil is parked at Bolshoi. Where are nuclear triggers?’

The total economic war of the west ion Russia presents the ironic western policy of forcing Russia to nationalize foreign business investments in their country that may be substantial. If for example someone bought a European manufactured Ford car in Russia they can no longer make payments on it and it won’t be repo’d, so in effect they own the stuff. McDonalds or whatever else was built by foreigners in Russia may begin to be operated by Cossacks or renamed McBoris'.  In the past, nationalization usually was a move communists made, hence the irony. Booking Cold War tours to Siberia via China with tour bus itineraries that could feature famous Gulags of the Evil Empire and how they kept inmates imprisoned for decades without anything besides torture and quick show trials, time share condos with fully stocked refrigerators and free, complimentary espionage kits oil at home.

Russian gasoline prices may drop to the equivalent of fifty cents per gallon as they keep their fuel at home. Cheap fuel prices and self-reliance on food production may allow vigorous economic activity to continue for a year or two during the sanctions regime and that may create jobs for rogue manufacturers to relocate production to Siberia. Taking advantage of cheap energy and easy access to Chinese markets. It may be wrong to misunderestimate the effect of gifting to President Von Putin free nationalization of foreign investment in Russia. The Lawyer’s  War of Ukraine may generate unusual collateral business evolutions.

  In the old days Americans sometimes laid across railroad tracks to stop transport of nuclear weapons and got legs cut off for the trouble. Nowadays they get government stimulus checks, pile up public debt and buy mint frappe lattes wondering if bitcoin bites off more than it can chew at foreign owned mid-west mining server  farms. It is good that oil prices may reach $200 per barrel as that will stimulate Chinese solar panel construction, and if the Von Biden administration ends Chinese tariffs, end inflationary spirals so recession could halt mid-flight. At the macro-economic plain, prospects for a burgeoning legal industry look good; lawsuits easily replace statesmanship as they can replace navigation on air and sea dealing with any negative consequences to randomly evolving destinations, punitively.

 

Eco Revision

 

Cranberries last through winter
forged tart by natures vinter
under snow the grown
revealed are shown
edible known
health minter

Muskeg grows all over the ground
forests rise up to wind knock down
trees die, more remain
strong in driving rain
not in vain
green grows plain

Eagles scan a forest below
looking for prey, something they know
snow battles uphill to the sky
warm flows share more dry
in death lie
eco foes.

Worst Case Inertia (a poem)

 

Sluzhba groans inertial urges sanction
draw past down to present time old tension
crew built law planks dampened smart action
wicked power used to some corrupt faction
convert world stage to unreal sightless shows
worst case molten light compaction

US law of shock and awe souls to thin air
severing human ties unbound particle pairs
colors run like temporal smoke somewhere
testy vultures share with body snares
tasting rare wine though ugly distance glows
another list raised high en clair

Bars and stars not Shelly, Keats and Fitche
elemental curds whey past actions quick pitch
land plans broadcasts govern slop info kitch
empowered plutocrats concede titch
they left that currency to slake the bank
cynch wealth can fake democracy patch.

Fur Raising (a poem)

 

Those shoes in the news sang the blues
so empty now and not a ruse
political sins
where a mess begins
worst kung fu
sappers too

Fish of civilization purr
label opponents Aaron Burr
steps neat plop and fizz
shine moons ‘bove the wiz
said the fault is his
raising fur

A few xuan more bought the bots
some mings hard learned and were taught
along a wire fence
electrical mench
pack a punch
demos not.

Steep Pitch (a poem)

 

With pieces of eight new found worlds
a way out of sure rat trap hurls
syndicalist tribes
and organized bribes
Wall Street rides
t’other side

  Everything fast stuck in place
ancestral homes of sword and mace
jet the least consist
in hope, dreams and mist
finite lists
current grace

Anarcho-vindicalism
cynics brought final schisms
diverged capsize talk
complete future shock
stop fat balk
pitch wisdom.

Concrete Spires (a poem)

 

Water so lonely, dark and deep
auden shore echo eagles reap
land moves to stark
mariner rhyme arts
three-quark marks
lever sleep

Kelp, welks and otter disappear
bear hungry eyes gaze through the years
lifelessness upstream
silent crush shushed green
mis en scene
life’s mirror

Consuming fires with prion plans
ant hill spire generations span
Promethean vibes
soon gave up and died
so they lied
with word bans.

Words, Life and Government ( a poem)

If government labels one man lem
and wealth moves power to erase write drempt
none may add one sum to silence the day
hope and truth died fading away rempt

Call of the wild where isles may scrive
evolving reflecting spirit live
emerging through darkness faith may flow
known and unknown Hegel too may rise

Where is the hope of futures gone past
all wealth was one for an upper caste
powers of thrones ate consuming two thirds
words of life tossed aside as trash.

Stabilizing S.E Alaska Salmon fishing with modern fish traps

Salmon fishing in S.E. Alaska has wild, whipsaw swings in numbers of fish from moderate abundance to near population crashes from occasionally because of the advanced technology of the commercial salmon fishery, management paradigm and perhaps deep ocean over-harvest. The long range outlook for salmon numbers is probably downward- like that of many fish stocks around the planet. Sports and subsistence share of the fishery has dwindled too. Modernizing fish traps to replace net fishing would probably remedy that.

 Fish traps have a bad reputation because of their efficiency at catching salmon in the past when the lack of management oversight by government allowed taking salmon until the population crashed. Competent government management quotas (some cynics would say competent government is an oxymoron) could assure that 51% of returning fish were free to go upriver to spawn and just 49% caught in traps and fish wheels with modern designs to catch or release fish for human food or upstream spawns.

  A Tlingit somewhere explained to me once how Tlingits (that have been using traps for salmon from well before Columbus arrived in the Caribbean) long ago took great care with the fish and gave them respect, holding up the first fish to the sky, to spirit, in thanks. Maybe that was something I saw in a Trevor Howard film- too long ago to recall accurately. Other fish were brought ashore for some other purpose for the well being of the fish. That account of tradition is something I cannot recall concisely years later, it may have been that female fish full of eggs were released or squeezed out of eggs as in that job search commercial with Russian fish squeezers, yet the salient point is that salmon were not caught to extinction with the region-wide network of traps- perhaps 1500 sites have been found by archaeologists, and were sustainably harvested.

 If an exact number of fish were caught and a slightly greater number released free to return to spawn the actual number of fish returning should increase from year to year if their habitat isn’t destroyed by encroaching effluence from mines, human sewage in great quantity with only primary treatment (nine island cities have been given federal waivers from secondary treatment because the alternative is to decree they must have mass constipation several decades), construction along salmon bearing streams, waterfront areas, usual human carelessness oblivious or indifferent to externalities harmful to wildlife and other contaminated water input from storm drain releases etc.

 I should note that it should be possible to develop new forms of sewage treatment or to give tax incentives to people that use electric no-flush toilets in the region. It might be possible to process human sewage and sewage from fish farms (filtering out the crap in so,me way) together (if clean, pollution-free fish farming legal criteria can be created that would permit fish farms meeting that criterion) to produce exportable fertilizer for agricultural sales.

There are people that don’t realize that deep pocket capitalization fundamentally rules the world these days. Environmental laws can be rolled back by politicians in the pocket of wealth- and that usual includes most.  Environmental protections need be effective forever while environmental exploiting legislation need occur just once for victory. Despoiling the environment has the odds on its side in the long run. To defeat that a little better approach need be made to supplement environmental protection. That is, economic need be made to cohere within environmental protection so despoilers and exploiters of natural resources  face economic competition with local politicians that support the local environmentally compatible industry such perhaps, as clean fish farming could present that potentially might be able to produce as many fish as natural fish taken from fish traps, sports and subsistence fishing.

Human activity makes change occur to the environment. ecological economics for sustainability are required if mal-adaptations with global investment pressuring resource exploitation is not to be the default use. To get ahead of population, demographic and political pressure deleterious to long-term salmon numbers stabilizing the salmon fishery and probably eliminating bi-catch in the process with new design paradigmata fish traps simultaneously with the rise of a clean fish farming industry may be optimal. The competition to conserve salmon is from Wall Street logic rather than white and black immigrants to S.E. Alaska. The human population may be stable now, yet that is unlikely to remain the case in twenty years to the rest of the century. Global warming and illegal immigration will drive more people north. Gold and silver mines will impact fishing and development of more business will reduce the influence of salmon fishermen whom are petty bourgeois yet not deep pocket capitalists. As S.E. Alaska becomes more like Puget Sound and every soul in the region can afford an electric powered boat traveling at high speed, like even the Atlantic coast S.E. Alaskan  wildlife may fade to become a memory. The pressure of global warming and over population can drive humanity to plunder the environment like locust. Getting sustainable fish farming in on the ground floor- buying in early, may serve to catalyze the environmental protection of the waters and land that sustain fish farming and plentiful fish traps, sports and subsistence fishing. Deep planetary capital would face higher environmental challenges when exploiting the natural resources of the region, unlike today when many oppose any change to a reduced salmon fishery with little political power compared to that of Wall Street.

Strategic Blunders and End Games for Planetary Plutocracy

Reigniting the Cold War and dividing the world economy roughly in half (the U.S. administration claims the G-7 comprise 50% of the world economy today) between those that side with Europe and the U.S. more than Russia and China in order to isolate and punish Russia for taking over the Ukraine militarily may be a strategic blunder. Though the corporate broadcast left and social media seem to believe political dissent from their narratives necessarily are treason and should be repressed, I shall venture my own opinion about the consequences of the corporate left policy of the United States in regard to Russia and Ukraine. The founders at least believed political pluralism was fine and citizens need not be sycophants of the will of concentrated wealth and power.

 Bringing the super-rich to try to own Russia may have been an inevitable, unsaid yet implicit aim of Democrat leaders when the Soviets peacefully withdrew from eastern Europe. Taking advantage of the weak is a traditional capitalist path to wealth. Seizing Ukraine from a weak Boris Yeltsin while the former Soviet Union was in disarray set the grounds for the present conflict. I am at a loss to understand how the U.S.A. and Britain had any legal standing in 1994 to participate in agreement with President Yeltsin to give away Ukraine to someone other than Russia. Were Britain and President Clinton at war with the Soviet Union or Russia and President Yeltsin just a signer of a surrender document? Was President Clinton the actual winner of the Cold War? Did President Yeltsin have a legal power to give away Ukraine in Soviet or C.I.S. law that precluded a need to ask Russians if that’s what they wanted?he principle of ‘We stolt it fair and square’? Maybe democratic liberty of Ukraine is a kind of ex post facto way to firm up the democratic kosherness of the deal; the art of the deal is important.

Democrat party leaders hatred of Russia and prosecution of the Russian collusion narrative with President Trump (that was entirely false evidently) served to heighten tension with Russia and create the atmosphere that brought the Ukraine crisis to fruition. Democrats formally ending the Reagan-Gorbachev peace dividend era brings a new decade or two of intrigue, strife, increased defense spending and maybe inflation to Russian-American relations. European eastward expansion into Russia required conflict, a crucible and regime change with supporting narratives if global plutocracy goals to rule the entire world were to be fulfilled. All the worlds a bank, and the people merely pawns mixing metaphors strutting about during their hour, working for wages and the rich, signifying nothing as objects of broadcast media viewpoints. Opposition is be evolved away...

The United States and Europe have aging populations and allow in second and third world migrant replacement populations to provide cheap labor no longer available from domestic sources. The new browner U.S. population may not have the same political goals as plutocrats or share their vision of world conquest through concentrating wealth to enfeof the rich as ad hoc aristocrats.

China has a somewhat younger population with rapid economic and military growth prospects. Bringing them closer to Russia and Russian military and natural resources will greatly enhance the power of the competing Eastern economic block that is no longer simply communist. The United States may have bitten off its nose to spite its face blinded by greed to expand N.A.T.O. eastward. U.S. leaders may have prompted evolutionary forces to find alternative planetary channels for anti-American forces to conduct business in.

The U.S. administration failed to get Mongolia to join its alliance of all traditional enemies of Russia to line up against it including a rearming Germany. Getting the former NAZI power to rearm $110 billion worth is a great achievement of the Biden administration sure to benefit the U.S.A. in the long run. Maybe Germany can development nuclear capability to increase the scale of total nuclear war reassuring to N.A.T.O. members. 

Anyone who inherits a shoe or .50 cents is an heir with a lower case h. No one should expect the poor to stupidly throw away whatever they are lucky enough to inherit. Instead they inherit, invest or use whatever they have and move on to work howsoever they can to upgrade their situation. The poor can’t live on interest, dividends and lies. Heirs with a capital H are people that inherit wealth- maybe more than a half a million dollars, or several million dollars, in modern American terms. They can afford to live on interest and dividends and some can seek to take over corporations and make acquisitions globally, even in a small way. The media sometimes support the rich and victimize the poor, even using the poor as political decoys for the rich, and if they deem it politically useful, to pretend the poor are Heirs. What would happen to the financial fortunes of Heirs that publicly supported Russia as stakeholders in Ukraine?

Political inheritance is also a thing almost everyone gets; when Democrats muck it up they lower the value to all. War is not as good as peace. Rational political settlements are better than conflicts. One needs to understand the opposition viewpoint to make rational negotiated settlements. One cannot have just an our way or no way attitude and expect a negotiated settlement. Democrats consistently have acted as a one-party and no other in Democracy way this millennium whenever they could. Presently they have been trying to get rid of the filibuster rule in the Senate, and that would eventually be useful for one-party rule too.

Europe and the U.S.A. plainly don’t need more and better weapons rather than ecological economic reform to reverse global warming. U.S. administrators have deep faith in wealth and the power of Wall Street  bankers, politicians and media to define their own narratives and impose their will upon poor, isolated nations like Russia, and it may be so if wealth is their god.

Russian and Chinese nuclear capabilities combined are equal to or greater than those of the United States. It is possible that North Korean nuclear and economic capabilities will develop faster in alliance with the newly strengthened eastern block with good long term growth prospects. Iranian nuclear development may quicken with Russian technical support should they choose to provide that. It is possible alternatively, that a quick Russian defeat to Ukrainian forces supplied with N.A.T.O. arms will bring a Russian withdrawal on weak terms to a nation nearly broke as a result of devastating Western sanctions crippling the Russian economy. Then China would be the final holdout to global domination by Wall Street as global investors flow into a post-Putin Russia to make the economy sufficiently queer and corporatist to satisfy the Plutocracy of Earth.

If President Putin acts creatively and does the unexpected; perhaps establishing an independent Western Ukraine while keeping the east bank of the Dnepr for Russia, he may discombobulate U.S. leadership that has been loading up on anti-Putin and anti-Russian narratives in support of the New Cold War. President Putin may find the costs of keeping all of the Ukraine high while westerners fund protracted insurrection in occupied Ukraine and supply a host of advanced weapons to keep casualties and terror rolling. 

In the several days that have passed since the Russian invasion began the offense has stagnated at Kiev and the west has promised military support for Ukraine resistance forces. I have no idea what tactics President Putin had in mind yet the choice to waste time on Kiev is perplexing. Seemingly he just needed to halt at the Dnepr and secure the east bank while letting western Ukraine keep Kiev. It is doubtful that putting the Russian up opposite N.A.T.O. nations by taking west Ukraine was a good idea then or now. Keeping West Ukraine as a buffer probably was tactically better. The farmland of the east is an important breadbasket for Russia and getting farming going seasonally was important to restoring normal economics while West Ukraine licked its wounds before building up a N.A.T.O. Supplied military to consider an eventual counter-offensive.

One knows that modern urban warfare is difficult and usually results in creating a pile of rubble challenging to hold by either side; consider the battles of Stalingrad and Leningrad or as has been pointed out, Aleppo. Building up defensive positions in East Ukraine able to survive a counter-invasion might have been a better strategy. As it is, garrisoning troops able to suppress populist insurrection and guerrilla war, as Russians know, is challenging. They learned that in Afghanistan and though Europeans are Afghans they have much better equipment and technical prowess at the art of war. What President Putin’s plans are is a mystery, yet with R.T. news apparently censored from American viewers of the Internet (I haven’t checked yet being in a rural area without Internet access) one cannot learn what Russians think about it, as one could,listening to Tariq Aziz from Iraq right up to the American invasion based on a mistake about W.M.D.’s.

It should be possible to partition Ukraine along the natural Dnepr River and establish an easily recognizable international border. Free trade for each nation on the Dnepr along with demilitarization and low tax policies could catalyze a renaissance of trade and commerce, industrial and technical productivity for both nations after civilian populations return. Plainly two nations- East and West Ukraine, would comprise a partisan gerrymandering favorable to Russia and probably adequate to establish security for Russia against the specter of total war by traditional western enemies beginning with an advanced location on Russia’s southern flank with a N.A.T.O. knife poised on its soft underbelly. West Ukraine can be a demilitarized neutral zone of value to east and west. Russia could withdraw the bulk of its forces from the east after order is re-established.

It is possible that Europeans nations will gradually defect to the newer eastern block as economic opportunities and concern about nuclear war bring them a pragmatic preference to make friends rather than enemies of Russia and China. Russia may be able to launder exports and imports through China finding a surfeit of work-arounds without onerous terms. Nations like Vietnam or Brazil may choose to buy and sell to Russia; perhaps the U.S. won‘t want to put sanctions or penalties on many nations, especially those of Latin America, for violating the New Berlin Wall dividing Russia from the west.

It is challenging to say that all of the encrypted e-currencies like Bitcoin won’t facilitate Russian economic transactions or that Russians cannot mint their own block-chain currencies. With so many Muslim nations to their south Russians may have need not to look weak and easy prey as a stuffed west could appear after President Biden’s flight of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Because of the western leadership corruption creating homosexual marriage it is possible that Muslim nations may find it practical to align themselves with Russia rather than the United States as need arise, and that Russia will stop interdicting Muslim terrorists on their way west or even share intelligence on Asian terrorist organizations so long as they do not attack Russian interests. The U.S. may have great relations with rich, royal Muslims these days, yet the populist crowd of fundamentalists may choose not to go the American way, and work with Russia when it can, in spite of Chinese insults to its Muslim population.

China has been making economic gains in Latin America and Russia for some time, and it will benefit from Russian scientific and technical assistance that is now of a free market sort rather than communist. Instead of exporting communist revolution the Eastern Block will be exporting economic upgrades and material opportunity that many lack in under-developed regions of the world. Making friends rather than enemies with Russia probably was the better choice for the United States. 

With full normal economic relations between Russia, Europe and the U.S. Chinese militarized might have been seriously dampened. As it is one hopes they don’t make a tactical blunder themselves in light of the add of Russia to their team generally, and decide to invade Taiwan or become intoxicated with a Chinese version of the Japanese Greater Co-Prosperity sphere and invade nations themselves drawing the world closer to actual nuclear war. Political patience and tolerance is hard to use sometimes, yet in the newly divided economic world China would seem to have everything to gain as the world’s middleman and economic power center.

  A President probably should not work international politics in such a way that the threat of nuclear war increases or that the nation is put in a place of potential economic harm itself compelling world nations to choose between the U.S.A. and its economic block or everyone else including Russia. Progressive strategic degradation of the U.S. position instead of increasing security and economic and environmental well-being is wrong. Democrats are bent on an our way or no way, better dead than red (Republican) course. Americans will need to wait to see what Republicans can accomplish to normalize global economic relations after Democrat Party Russia haters are voted out of office eventually.

Republicans may no longer be a good answer to challenges presented in the modern world to international relations- who can say? Public opinion still matters though, at least to planners manipulating public opinion in order to benefit elites. So what if world public opinion shifts to regard the U.S.A. employing politician lawyers with killer drones happy enough to splatter foreigners or get them to kill one another in protracted, yet avoidable conflicts- that can’t be good for business. Sometimes one must have a creative intellect gene to find peaceful solutions to global challenges. Bureaucratic minions   hate that.

Democrats apparently may seek to build support a long-term insurgency in Europe’s Ukraine region to resist  Russia's reconquista. Yet one may ask; is creating a protracted guerrilla war in Europe a good idea or an optimal way to stabilize the troubled region? Is construction of proxy war inducting Ukrainian and Russian casualties an intelligent plan? 

Can’t politicians think of an intelligent way to return the Ukraine to a fully normalized economic and social condition ending sanctions on Russia- bringing them into E.U. close-quarters trade and N.A.T.O. cooperation while demilitarizing Ukraine? Should Russia allow a Ukrainian, militarized N.A.T.O. threatening it more menacingly than than the WW 2 Nazis of Germany? It is possible that real living conditions for Ukrainians could be much the same as before the conflict under Russian suzerainty if Russia were economically integrated with Europe. 

 It could be that incompetent American leadership is suitable for a plutocratic shadow government politicians owe allegiance to. Wall Street aristocrats are globally positioned. In fact down-sizing U.S. political power may actually benefit the plutocracy and grease a more efficient planetary approach to consolidating wealth. The U.S.A. has moved more toward establishing an Orwellian division of vaguely warring empires almost somnambulist, automatically.

 Pejorative American narratives will continue to increase as minions line up behind bureaucratic story lines. A dirth of intelligent creative problem solving will descend like a fog of ignorance enshrouding knuckle-heads in pursuit of lucre. President Putin will become the new Napoleon ending democracy by taxing the rich 55% and forcing the lampshade of authoritarianism over the masses with green economic reform even as heroes of D.C. prepare a House of Special Purpose on the island of St. Helena where they can exile Von Putin after Wellington blades capture the fugitive and flush him far down the South Atlantic while a new generation of Ukrainian resistance hero amputees provide interviews to media and entertainment news with footage of new horrors of war alternating with news of Democrat Party replacement politics moving conveyor belts of social progress ahead and stock reports indicate Wall Street is patching 40,000 and public debt scooping 40 trillion.
