From Russia With Love

As of this writing, we are in the thick of the Ukraine Missile Crisis. The French government, not wanting to be left out of this festival of dysfunction, gave permission for its own long-range missiles to be lobbed into Russia. Ça me fait chier, as anyone with half a brain in France must be saying right about now. Who’s next? Does Australia have any missiles that would qualify for the party?

The sheer idiocy on display among the rulers of the “Collective West” has gone off the scale and out the door. On second thought, the factors that we normally use to explain unfathomably bad policy⸺idiocy, greed, incompetence, etc.⸺are no longer applicable in this case. Something more nefarious is at play.

This is nothing short of mental illness. Never has the phrase “the inmates are running the asylum” been more apt. Think of our “elites,” our so-called leaders. Macron, Starmer, Biden, Jake Sullivan, Scholz, Ursula von der Leyen, and their less visible minions: creeps and nutjobs one and all. Think of the damage they have caused in other realms, and of their sick pronouncements. Lunacy!

Don’t bother trying to convince these people to alter course. As with spoiled children, an adult must put an end to the misbehavior. I am certain that there are individuals close to the throne who are in a position to accomplish this. Thus far, they have been reticent to act, or to act with sufficient force. Now, however, the prospect of annihilation may provide the incentive to take the necessary steps. We shall see.

​I believe that the same principle applies in other areas of public life. Our psychopathic ruling class can only be stopped by others; they will never stop themselves.
