This sucks but there doesn't seem a whole lot we can do

Post by Gary Childress »

It seems as though a lot of things are happening at once. Russia invaded Ukraine. Hamas attacked Israel. China started threatening Taiwan. North Korea was shelling the DMZ, Iran is funding the Houthis. I wonder if this was some kind of orchestrated plot by Russia and China to overwhelm the West or if it just came about happenstance. Either way, as an American, I can't help but feel uneasy about the world situation right now. And yet, another part of me says that perhaps we deserve what is happening after our illegal invasion of Iraq and our rash military response to Afghanistan.

Payback is hell (as they say). :(

Is there something wrong with one country funding, or helping, another?

Please "gary childress" do not let 'the truth' get in the way of a 'good conspiracy theory'.

Further accusations of 'it is the other' 'starting things' does not help in reducing the friction/fraction that you adult human beings are causing, and creating, in 'the world', in the days when this is being written.

The so-called "west" has been continually intruding further and further towards "russia". And, let us not forget that "kiev" was said to be the capital city or center of the "union of soviet socialist republics". So, waiting so long to retaliate and try and get back 'that', which was once 'theirs', is not something that just 'happened'.

All oppressed people, like those in "gaza", will always, one day, retaliate. To just try to get back, what was once 'theirs'. People in "gaza" are just sick and tired and being oppressed, still.

Is "china" fearing losing what was once 'theirs'? Could the so-called "west" be looking more threatening 'now', to others?

Put borders up, then someone will 'shell' it. Sure, 'now' is not the first time the "de-militarized zone" has been 'shelled'.

People will always help others, either through funding or another way, to get back what was once 'theirs'. For example, if the "west" is looking more threatening 'now', then others will help others 'now' with more funding. And, if the "west" is helping some with more funding 'now', then this looks very, very threatening to others, 'now'.

you should. "america" is probably the biggest reason and cause, and is thus seen as the biggest reason and cause, for most of the trouble in 'the world', 'now', from all "sides", and thus its citizens are, and will be, the biggest target in 'the world', 'very shortly'. So, you have every reason to be feeling very, very uneasy 'right now' "gary childress".

you human beings, in the days when this is being written, have absolutely no idea, yet, of what is about to soon happen and occur. The continued talk about 'world war 3', and how self-fulfilling prophecies come about, you have ever reason to feel uneasy 'now'.

And, this is not to mention anything about "korea", "vietnam", and the other conflicts and wars started and created by "americans" and their absolute love of power over others, love of arms bearing, and of arms creation, and of their absurd greediness and self-centeredness neither.

One only has to read the threads in this forum to see that those who live in that 'culture' known as "america" are so narrowed-sighted to see that they, literally, think or believe that 'the world' revolves around them, and that what happens in "america" is all there really is.

Is there 'talk' about politics in other countries in this forum, relative to "american politics"? Do those who class "themselves" as "americans" talk about "american politics" here as though it is the only real one in 'the world'? Do some people here talk about 'left' and 'right' in relation to "america" only? To some here, is the only thing they can see and view is the 'left' and 'right' of "american politics" in relation to the 'whole world'? Some of the people here, from "america", are so narrowed that they actually think or believe that the most 'shocking event' in the whole ten year period of the "1990's" was the murder of just two people only, in "america" of course. Which is even more ridiculously stupid considering the fact of how many "americans" are killed, by "americans", in "america", every year.

The 'you' can never, really, be what you ask here.

But, one has to first learn, or discover, and understand and know what the 'you' is first to know that you could never be one.

Of course you can do something. Do your best to get Trump elected.

He cleaned up Obama's Leftist mess. He can clean up Biden's Leftist, lying, deceitful mess, too.

Take a lesson from the greatest generation and buck up. Never underestimate Biden's ability to *uck things up, and never underestimate Trump's capacity to Buck Up, and carry the country along for the prosperity ride of Truth, Justice, and The American Way.

Good thing Trump always cleans up all this leftist mess of the last few decades, mostly started by the Bush gove- ... hmm I'm kinda confused
