Pres Putin Errs in Sending S-300's to Syria

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a tactical error in sending Russian S-300 air defense missiles to Syria. The Middle East doesn't really need that kind of destabilizing missile presence. The United States doesn't actually need to regard Russian threats to Israeli security as non-hostile. One wants to overlook Russia's Syrian military activities that contribute to stabilization of the Syrian civil chaos when possible, and it usually is possible except when they are a threat to U.S. allies and U.S. military aircraft in the area. No one needs a possibility of a regional conflict between allies or larger powers in Syria or even Israel.

 For Vladimir Putin to allow the Assad regime to have the tools to attack U.S. and/or Israeli aircraft just wasn't a good idea. Letting Russian crews operate and perhaps shoot at U.S. and/or Israeli aircraft is even worse. Syrian security does not need S-300 missiles. In fact it undermines Syrian security to a limited extent as it increases awareness that the Assad government with Russian help could return to a status of being a danger to Israel and other nations. Then the moderate western support for a non-Sunni government in Syria might dry up.  People may suggest that more missiles be deployed in Europe along Russian borders to counter Russian air threats.

President Putin should seek for some way to let Israel and Syria work together and find solutions to troubling issues in such a way that gardening can return to the fore as possible activity for people interested more in peace than in military and terrorist activity. Russia has a Soviet past that brings an aura of evil to its Syrian activities that is reinforced with introduction of the wrong kind of weapons to an evil though understandable regime. If Russia chooses to be with the side of the lost and unsaved souls of Syria instead of national Israel, or or hopes for sympathy from the godless atheists co-anti-religionists of the west to work with the atheists of the former Soviet Union, that misdirected hope would not be worth a ruble

Vote on Kavanaugh Now- Impeach Later if Need Be

SCOTUS nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been accused by two women of sexual impropriety several decades ago. The accusations are last-minute kinds of things that accomplish Democrat Party objectives in a significant way; they hope to take over Congress in the mid-term November vote and stand to disapprove any conservative nominee. The nation should have a conservative justice and unless there is a legal reason why he shouldn't be on the court, the vote should proceed.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/new-brett-kavanaugh-accusation-has-a-bunch-of-flaws-but-democrats-already-using-it-against-him-anyway
Did Brett Kavanaugh do what Christine Ford and Mr. Kavanaugh's Yale classmate; a Ms Ramirez, say he did? There is apparently no way to know right away. Plainly there isn't a legal issue existing after all the time that has passed without a charge ever being filed, it is simply a political issue and one that any reasonable soul knows is a favorite of the Democrat Party this year. They are accusations that stimulate Me Too ire and wrath and work to help bring out the vote.
Brett Kavanaugh is the primary victim of the accusations that may or may not be true. If his nomination doesn't go ahead the smears persist in public memory as if he was some kind of sex offender that escaped legal requirements to register wherever he chooses to live. If he is innocent that would make little difference for the public remembers the accusations rather than dismissals.
With months to make public accusations in a timely way the Democrats involved choose to wait until the timing would stop replacing Judge Kavanaugh before the next court session starts in October and the election occurs in November and that can't be a coincidence. It may be a cold-blooded political calculation that should not be rewarded. Dr. Ford renegotiates her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee more often than the parties of the Paris Peace talks regarding the size of the table. If she is so reluctant to testify she ought to be excused from testifying and the vote directly proceed.
Fortunately the constitution provides a remedy for the present problem. A Supreme Court Justice may be impeached and removed from office by the House and Senate comparable to the manner a President may be. The Kavanaugh vote should go ahead as he is a remarkably well qualified Judge with an otherwise impeccable reputation. Yet an investigation could go ahead too and if Judge Kavanaugh turns out to be worthy of being removed from the high court later, the legislature will have the power to do so. It should not be that the orderly execution of government is disrupted or corrupted by last minute unsupported accusations that serve to accomplish a political purpose. Ample opportunity from several sectors existed for a timely presentation of accusations about the Judge's high school and college years. At least the issue is not as superfluous as the Harvard filled court hating to have a Yale man join them. Neither is it some kind of skull and bones frat collusion- probably.

Democrat Congress Could Perfect Do-Nothing Status

A Democrat Party win in November could achieve a perfected do-nothing except costly pork congressional transition to the dark side of the force. Republicans in theory are somewhat less immoral than Democrats hence they get the moral voter block, yet even with encouragement rising to chastising they too achieve little of solid value to the poor and middle class that is positive except of course in forestalling Democratic waves of demonic doom of individual civil rights subsuming individuals into the Borg of Democrat Party control.

Democrats controlling one or more houses of the legislature this fall while President Trump is in the White House of course would reject any effort to secure the border with a control barrier. Republicans haven't delivered on that one simple promise either. Neither really want Americans to manufacture their own electric bikes or actually have an independent and secure manufacturing base, borders or ecosphere that is sustainable for generations. Both parties could be conflated into do nothing oneness that isn't primarily for the benefit of globalists plutocrats and their depraved legions of doom following them like the most vile creatures of Mordor.

Sketchy Military Affairs After 1918

The United States bailed out Britain with its decisive entry into the First World War. Patton on the western front believed the United States should have not signed an armistice but should have forced Germany to fight until unconditional surrender. Britain was decimated with casualties in the war. The Cambridge University class of 1914 for instance, had something like 80% casualties. Britain wasn’t in any condition to fight another war, while the United States was strong and getting stronger.
Eisenhower wanted to go to Europe from his job being a tank instructor at Ft. Hood, yet the army wouldn’t let him. It turned out that he had a role to play in the final battle of The First World War named The Second World War.
The United States perhaps should not have got involved in the First World War and instead could have let Germany win. Crown Prince Ruprecht led a break-through just before the end of the war 250 miles into France and then ran out of troops to continue. The entry of the United States had provided much manpower to wear Germany down. If Germany had won the war there would not have followed an Adolph Hitler and Third Reich.
George S. Patton’s poem
Peace -- November 11, 1918 - Poem by General George S Patton Jnr
“I stood in the flag-decked cheering crowd
Where all but I were gay,
And gazing on their extesy,
My heart shrank in dismay.
For theirs was the joy of the 'little folk'
The cruel glee of the weak,
Who, banded together, have slain the strong
Which none alone dared seek.
The Bosch we know was a hideous beast
Beyond our era's ban,
But soldiers still must honor the Hun
As a mighty fighting man.
The vice he had was strong and real
Of virtue he had none,
Yet he fought the world remorselessly
And very nearly won…
And looking forward I could see
Like a festering sewer;
Full of the fecal Pacifists
Which peace makes us endure….
None of the hold and blatant sin
The disregard of pain,
The glorious deeds of sacrefice
which follow in wars train.
Instead of these the little lives
Will blossom as before,
Pale bloom of creatures all too weak
To hear the light of war.
While we whose spirits wider range
Can grasp the joys of strife,
Will moulder in the virtuous vice
Of futile peaceful life.
We can but hope that e're we drown
'Neath treacle floods of grace,
The tuneless horns of mighty, Mars
Once more shall rouse the Race
When such times come, Oh! God of War
Grant that we pass midst strife,
Knowing once more the whitehot joy
Of taking human life.
Then pass in peace, blood-glutted Bosch
And when we too shall fall,
We'll clasp in yours our gory hands
In High Valhallas' Hall. “

The Kavanaugh Process is Important

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is one of the most highly qualified Judges for the Supreme Court available. To allow unproven allegations arriving at the eleventh hour to halt nominee selection votes regularly could make it very difficult to ever add anyone to the court. In a nation of 320 million people there is no end of possible accusations that could be made.
Democrats want to stop the addition of any conservative to the U.S. Supreme Court. Most Republicans would prefer not to add a liberal-leftist-corporatist judicial activist again, hence the present fight.
The next session of the court begins in early October so any delays the Democrats can make help to keep their agenda at SCOTUS more viable. The Ford accusation is a partial birth abortion of the nomination vote. Any tool to spike conservative guns will be tried.
In the future some sort of regular time table should be established to stop last-minute accusations with amorphous evidence credibility from delaying proceedings. Objections to a nominee should be required to appear within an open season that ends at least 30 days prior to the Senate Judiciary Committee vote on the nominee.

A good working procedure for future nominations might be for the Judiciary Committee to accept accusations against a nominee for 30 days after the public announcement of nomination, then close the open accusation enrollment period and study the accusations for two weeks in addition to two weeks of general interviews, before voting. Criminal accusations would have a life of their own outside the scope of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
