Sing it Neil.
I’m approaching having spent seven full decades of time on this planet, so it seems like every couple of years one of my life influences/heroes are leaving this sphere of existence.
It used to be every decade or so, but lately that time gap is shortening.
The more things change…
Another Middle East war, another show of evil.
I always go to the extreme, so the Domestic Despot is forever challenging and “talking me down.”
First, I had a brainstorm, inspired by my affinity for Oliver Stone’s war movie Platoon depicting the notorious “tunnel rats” in Vietnam. I was astonished to hear that of the many men who took on this challenge, due to the many booby traps set by the enemy, 97% never made it back to the surface alive.
My brainstorm said we try 21st century weapons of mass destruction on the tunnels underlying the Gaza Strip. Huge concussive underground explosions should bring the Gaza Strip about a hundred feet below sea level, but it could possibly end the Hamas once and for all eternity.
I’m sure the Israelis would probably just consider it a “good start.”
Is it me, or did I actually sense some semblance of bipartisan unity in the response to aid Israel as one of our allies?
I haven’t seen that in years; it was actually kind of refreshing to see.
Now if they can just figure out on how to agree to something that might actually benefit more than a few privileged Americans.
Yeah.
That would be nice.
Most Americans have never studied the long-standing political unrest in the Middle East, or the ideologies and guiding principles which govern the region.
Myself included.
But I have enough assimilated information to know that hate-based anything is, to be politically correct here, fucked up.
What don’t you get about the certainty that you, like every other human being on this planet, have a finite number of years to enjoy your life?
Enter religion.
And you thought it was fucked up before…
I remember being in Turkey when things were bubbling into what would become the short-lived Arab-Israeli War. I was there for a high school basketball tournament and was told the United States Air Force base I was at was on a continual 24/7 high-alert status on the flight line.
This Jim Jordan dumbass from where else? my new home state of Ohio, is quite the piece of work.
My “son” Murphy Corleone Diaz, who is currently sniffing his “brother” Bruiser Corleone Diaz’s bum, has more of a chance of being named Speaker of the House than that white racist-misogynist loser.
In our zeal to push the needle on inclusivity, we have widened the spectrum of normalcy so far LEFT and RIGHT we need to “squeeze” it back to the way, NOT like it used to be, but definitely NOT like it is now.
Now that JoJo has made his obligatory appearance in a show of support.
Great.
Now get the fuck out of the way and let the Israelis take it from here.
Oh yeah.
Send money.
Stay well.
