Obi-Wan Never Visited Washington DC
“YOU WILL NEVER FIND A MORE WRETCHED HIVE OF SCUM AND VILLAINY”
(1977 Star Wars IV – Obi-Wan Kenobi at Mos Eisley Spaceport)
Our countries foreign and domestic policy seems to be under the control of a trio that I like to refer to as Feckless, Brainless and Clueless. While I may be referring to our President, Vice President and Secretary of State, you might want to apply the titles to the leaders of your own choosing. Perhaps your two State Senators and your Congressional Representative in the House of Representatives. Each person can make their own choice.
Perhaps you think my descriptive titles too harsh and would prefer kinder more love-able names such as Larry, Curly and Moe. We are either blessed or cursed with a broad spectrum of potential candidates for whatever titles or names you wish to apply.
For example:
Our nation is Seventeen, racing towards Twenty Trillion (with a T) Dollars in debt. Who is responsible for that?
We have an Attorney General who believes that you only need to enforce the laws you like.
A Director in the Internal Revenue Service who never did anything wrong and will take the Fifth Amendment to prove it.
A Minority Leader in the House of Representatives who believes you should only read laws after they are passed.
A Senate Leader who does not know the difference between the truth and a lie.
Nations around the world now know the United States cannot be depended on to keep its treaty commitments. The U.S. signed a Treaty with the Ukraine that if the Ukraine would give up their “Nukes” and most of their army that we would defend them from invasion.
“Don’t worry, if you like your country you can keep it. And, that’s a promise.”
So the Ukraine gave up their nukes and stood down most of their army. The Ukraine has been invaded by Russia and we took no real action to stop them although we did dispatch Clueless, Ooops – sorry, I meant to say our Secretary of State to tell the Russians they are in violation of International Law. Maybe “John” could shake a United Nations Security Council Resolution at “Vlad”. Just as soon as he gets Russia and China to sign it. I’ll bet Vladimir is shaking in his boots.
I wonder if Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Israel, the nations in Eastern Europe and several other countries around the world we have treaty commitments with are taking notes. I’m sure China, North Korea, Iran and other potential adversaries are.
What could possibly go wrong?
