Why Russia Matters if China is the Enemy

Because everything is interrelated. There ya go, a college edumacation in one sentence. You know, these posts would be a lot shorter if y’all’d just figure out all the details. Okay, okay, here goes: Realists are wrong; the international game isn’t a single board with only a few main players. In reality (pun left in because it’s funny), international relations are twenty different games being played by two hundred players all at once and with a lot of pieces missing. … Continue reading “Why Russia Matters if China is the Enemy”

The Best Defense is a GREAT Offense

Castles are defensive, right? I mean the real ones, not the ones that only house princesses and occasional fairy tales. Hulking big fortifications designed to hide whole cities from the Big Bad Wolf at the door, right? Wrong. Castles are some of the nastiest machines ever invented. Yes, machines. Castles kill invaders. It’s what they are designed to do. Get too close and you get dead unless you are on very good terms with the occupants. Those massive walls are … Continue reading “The Best Defense is a GREAT Offense”

Leftism is Drowning

Political terminology is ‘definition flexible’. Translation: stupid terms rarely mean the same thing to everyone. Everyone assumes lawyers get Poli Sci degrees as a stepping stone to law school. I suspect that having to constantly define every common term is too annoying for them. Being a good little Poli Sci geek, I will now define my terms. Leftism for the purposes of this discussion is defined as positions on the economic scale that hold to socialism through communism and that … Continue reading “Leftism is Drowning”

Isolationism is NOT in America’s Best Interest

George Washington famously advised that the US ‘avoid foreign entanglements’. In typical American fashion, we proceeded to ignore it completely and take it completely overboard as it suited us. Washington’s warnings were specific to his time and certainly an accomplished general like Washington had more than enough sense to realize the US had survived the Revolutionary War by the skin of its teeth and didn’t need to be trying that again anytime soon. We did, of course, in the War … Continue reading “Isolationism is NOT in America’s Best Interest”

What Russia and China Teach the US about Itself

Don’t be corrupt authoritarian jerks. See you next time on… I don’t get it. Everyone says they want simple straightforward answers until you give them one. Then they’re all ‘but why’ and ‘we need details’. Okay, here’s the scoop. The US goes through these periods of self examination. That’s a good thing. The problem starts when we don’t have any goals as a nation or crises to keep us focused. Then we stop self examination and start navel gazing until … Continue reading “What Russia and China Teach the US about Itself”

Don’t Become The Monster: Foreign Policy Edition

Look guys, being opposition for the sake of being oppositions is STUPID. So quit it. Any questions? What? Oh for Pete’s sake… We’ve spent the last forty years in American politics with the Democrats desperately clinging to the coattails of Civil Rights in the vain hope of maintaining relevance. They settled for maintaining power. That’s now ending. Yes, the whole process was stupid. Could we please not repeat it on the conservative side? No, I didn’t say Republican because I’m … Continue reading “Don’t Become The Monster: Foreign Policy Edition”

COVID 19 Time for Truth: China Edition

I am a cranky old lady with 18 years disease control experience, two degrees in Political Science and no patience left for nonsense. Any questions? No? Good. The entire response to the panicdemic was botched. The WHO and ESPECIALLY the CDC knew better than the crap they were pulling. We here in the United States have over EIGHTY YEARS of successful disease intervention. We lead the charge in ERADICATING small pox. We DANGED WELL know how to handle a respiratory … Continue reading “COVID 19 Time for Truth: China Edition”

The World Can’t be America

Which works out just fine – they don’t want to be nor should they. We have this goofy idea that nationalism is inherently a bad thing. Like all isms, it can be taken way too far. Any ideology can be made into a bad thing by taking it to extremes. But BOTH extremes are bad. Do you fix a broken cup? Most of the time the answer is no but what if it belonged to your grandmother and was special … Continue reading “The World Can’t be America”

Between Globalism and Isolationism

Okay, so globalism bad, we should just keep to ourselves and not bother the rest of the planet, right? Yeah, that so isn’t going to work. America was born in humble beginnings – we were a podunk backwater that only attracted riff raff and no respectable person went. But we grew up into a podunk backwater with a lot of perfectly respectable folks and some really big ideas about liberty and freedom. We were by nature cocky and self assured … Continue reading “Between Globalism and Isolationism”

Protecting American Freedoms is the Best Thing America Can do for the Rest of the World

Obviously. What? That’s not obvious to you? What they heck did they teach you kids in school? Can’t do math, can’t half read, can’t pay attention – How’d you end up worse than MY generation? Seriously, we grew up on Westerns and Tarzan, roaming the neighborhoods until dark, with permanently skinned knees, hyped on boatloads of sugar and watching way too much TV – we were supposed to be the space cases, not you kids! Do yourselves a favor, try … Continue reading “Protecting American Freedoms is the Best Thing America Can do for the Rest of the World”
