We’ve been getting a little bit of rain here in our little corner of the DFW Metromess, so, some of the bets are off. Won’t be going out much, what with a tornado watch on until sometime after ten tonight, so, I decided to see what was going on in the wide world of Facebook.
Two of my correspondents were busily working both ends of the political crazy train.
On the left is someone I’ve known for some time, posting what amount to rationalizations for Russia to invade Ukraine while killing innocents and destroying buildings. The claim is that the current leadership of Ukraine was installed by the CIA (plausible) and has targeted Russian nationals in one of the provinces for elimination (also plausible). There’s bad blood between Moscow and Kiev. It happens. But these days, if there’s a problem, we have the United Nations to turn to. Make a case. Deal with it in a civil manner. If our CIA is really involved and their involvement can be proven, shame on us for whatever part we played in this fiasco. Going into another country and killing people is nothing more than a land grab. At the same time, it sure knocks the credibility of the invading country.
Side note – Kremlin. Sounds evil, doesn’t it?
On the right is a fellow who has a good education and should know better. This morning he was kvetching about all of the investigations going on around the former President, and how those investigations have hampered Congress from doing its job. The next thing I hear from him is a blurb from a “conservative” mouthpiece on the latest attempt to pin something on Hunter Biden. From what I gather, it’s okay to investigate someone from the other party, leave our party alone. Witness the almost endless examinations by conservatives into an incident happening on the watch of the other party’s Secretary of State.
I consider myself to be in the middle. I take the position that the CIA can be a bunch of schmucks – and that both political parties are culpable when it comes to examining what the other party is doing. As far as both are concerned, the arguments need to be played out in a courtroom. Not on the battlefield and not in “hit” pieces written by “journalists” with less than stellar credentials.
Be Seeing You!
