[Peace-discuss] Monday morning rant

[Karen Aram]

My posting on FB in relation to the USG now placing our B52 bombers on high alert, had a response from one, non American, that I shouldn’t worry about the US attacking NK because the US is really smart.

My reply: Oh, I’m so relieved, nothings going to happen because the USG is clever and it won't take on China or Russia?

Silly me, along with thousands of other people, are worried for nothing.

I mean, accidents never happen, and we have such “smart" people in power, and N.K. has such a smart leader, that nothing will happen.

Yes, never mind the really smart people who dropped bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with the resultant horrors in Japan, never mind the really smart people who implemented the Holocaust, never mind the really smart people, as portrayed in "The Best and the Brightest" slaughtering how many Vietnamese with bombs, and agent orange? Never mind the really smart people dropping more bombs on Cambodia than any time previous to 2007. Never mind the really smart people who gave us the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria, not to mention all the nations throughout the world which we have destroyed through intervention.

The really smart people who have instigated Nato on the borders of Russia. Good, I’m so relieved, now I can relax because we have really smart people in charge of the world.

Don't get me going on climate change, or the lack of healthcare in the US.
