World Affairs - 2/20/2024

What follows has nothing to do with any politician or political party. And, with one small exception, it has has nothing to do with Trump, either.

I refuse to lose sight of how this shit started.

 

First, to the conflict in Gaza and Israel. I am sick and tired of all the antisemitism in our country and around the world over this conflict. I realize that some closet antisemites out there are making all manner and sort of excuse for or rationalization for what the terrorist scumbags did on October 7th. Sorry, it don't wash with me. What's the right thing to do now, some 4 months plus down the line? Shouldn't the Israelis back off now? Things are terrible in Gaza. Yeah, they are. I hope it ends soon. If Hamas surrenders unconditionally and releases their hostages it will end. Or, if Israel completely eradicates Hamas, it will end. Everything and or anything else is bullshit that will enable the next subhuman scum from. Hamas to repeat these heinous acts. Fuggedaboudit. Surrender or Israel kills them all works for me.

Bad guy, good guy? No. Bad guy, bad guy.

 

Then you've got Ukraine. There's no legitimate connection between addressing the invasion of the US by migrants and Ukraine. None. And to you dopes who paint anyone who questions the way we're aiding Ukraine as "Putin stooges", GFY. Just because Putin is a bad guy DOESN'T make Zelensky a good guy. Got it? That's the bottom line. Zelensky is corrupt, too. Being the enemy of our enemy isn't enough to give all this money, all these arms, and look the other way as it disappears. We should NOT, nope, none, not at all, never, no, hell no, be paying bureaucrat salaries and pensions of Ukrainian officials. It's as if they have some kind of dirt on our leaders or something. We're throwing money away in Ukraine and fat cats are getting rich, some of them here in the USA from their kickbacks and payoffs.

And while I'm on the subject of throwing money away, President Trump said something that resonated with me. He said ALL future foreign aid ought to be in the form of loans, not gifts. He's 100% right, again. Even if we never collect, these countries should and would owe us. I like it.

Here they come... and come... and come.

 

Our border is a disaster and it is a separate and distinct issue from anything overseas. We have human traffickers, fentanyl smugglers, and terrorists entering our country EVERY DAY. Them people in our government who PURPOSELY allowed this need to be held accountable. The answer ISN'T beefing up our infrastructure so that this level of migration can be accommodated. That's not securing our border, it's securing the door in the wide open position.
