Living on the West Coast, I’m
listening with interest to news of increased worldwide economic sanctions
against Russia. Everyone hopes to keep
pushin’ Putin ‘til he breaks, but I am reminded of historical events leading to
Hitler’s ascent to power following Germany’s economic troubles post-WWI. The details are not as relevant as the resulting
rise of nationalism, and eventually WWII.
Somehow I doubt that Putin
will cave in to Democracy’s demands, so I’m considering my options once he
comes out swinging. Good thing my home’s
on wheels. How would our combined
leaders feel if they debated in Seattle?
Who doesn’t think Bill Gates is moving priceless artwork inland (or
underground)?
I remember being taught
something about Saving Face. That’s what Putin needs, at least on the world
stage. It doesn’t sound like the Russian
people are too upset with him at the moment; the Capitalists have moved to New
York and London, and the rest are just hoping for something better than what
they’ve got.
Just like us.
