China World Occupation? America Needs Russian Help
The Premier of China Xi-Jinping has a tall order to fill. He has 1.4 billion aspiring Chinese bourgeois who are looking for protein and natural resources on the worlds menu of offerings.The United States needs Russia's help in flanking China now.If Xi-Jinping fails what will follow him will be worse than not getting your meal served while it's still hot.Xi will be followed into the worlds kitchen by a Ghengis Kahn-type at the head of a horde of freebooters looking for food any where it can be found including dumpsters of major cities around the world.Nuclear weapons won't be effective against a far flung Chinese occupation once established .What's cooking? We will be surprised.Never mind the old menu of nothing Russian being ordered. I never knew what was in Chinese food anyway. So I stopped eating Chinese.

Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson: U.S. And Russia Versus China ?
Looks like our next Secretary Of State will be Rex Tillerson. He's the CEO of Exxon Mobil. He also has a friendly relationship with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.If Trump is trying to cool the rhetoric here and abroad about Russia he's made a good choice. A warm relationship between Russia and the U.S. should somewhat worry China. We share with Russia approximately an equal number of nuclear warheads and as important many delivery vehicles.So we and Russia flank China and it's 1.4 billion ravaging population. China is eating it's way through the planet. So it's an easier choice to befriend Russia militarily. China looks at the world with the eyes if its neighbors can fit into a frying pan. Russia has more modest needs when it comes to lunch.Trump made a a good strategic choice in a Russian detente.

Condi Rice Doesn't Get It
A Secretary Of State is nothing if not diplomatic. Which brings up our own Condi Rice's rudely chosen words directed at Russia yesterday. Referring to the Georgia/South Osettia war, our pickaninny promised, " Our [U.S.] strategic goal now is to make it clear to Russia's leaders that their choices are putting them on a one-way path to self imposed isolation and international irrelevance". Condi is predicting Russia has a one-way ticket to Palooka-Ville.
So Condi thinks the world can work around or without Russia being involved. Never mind the 13,000 nuclear warheads or the vast natural resources or the rich cultural heritage. Stanford University gave this woman a doctorate on Russian studies. Obviously Condi wasn't impressed with the Russian tutorial.
Rice reminds me of an observation by the 18th century Scottish philosopher David Hume. Hume was in correspondance with a friend who recently visted the Caribbean. The friend remarked how the darkies in Jamaica and other nations spoke perfect English . Hume some years later personally experienced the blacks in Jamaica. He came away with the conviction that the negroes were just reciting and copying white speech and culture like some parrot or Minah bird. They really didn't get it.
And so the philosopher accurately describes our blackbird.

Afghanistan: "Graveyard Of Empires"
Rudyard Kipling's early 20th century poem "The Young British Soldier" includes:
"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains
and the women come out to cut up what remains
jest roll to your rifle an' blow out your brains
and go to your gawd like a soldier."
Afghanistan has received and became a "graveyard of empires" from Alexander The Great through Genghis Khan including the British then the Russians and now the United States. Barack Obama declared today, " Afghanistan is a war we have to win." And so the only comfort that can come for those words is philosophical. No matter when you lived or died you have experienced the one reality.

Vacuum Bomb: Correctly Named New Russian Bomb
Russia exploded it's "vacuum bomb". The air explosion is so intense that it creates a vacuum which resonates with the combustion of explosives and vaporizes all in it's fallout area. The name vacuum is appropriate. A lack of leadership or if you will a vacuum of sane, diplomatic leadership leads neatly to a vacuum cleaner approach to all living things.
