Advice To The United States

You can be at peace with a country that has nuclear weapons, but if you choose to be at war with that country the chances are you will both end up having to use your nukes!

Use the peace to negotiate nuclear and conventional arms reductions.

The 65th Anniversary of The Korean Armistice Agreement

Today is the 65th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement.

As we are currently experiencing a rare period of relatively low level tensions, it would be in everyone's interests if the relevant parties in the region moved forward from an armistice to a full and complete peace treaty.

One of Life's Little Mysteries



It is one of life's little mysteries that some draft dodgers of a previous generation are very shouty and loud in their calls for war, and the sending of young men of the current generation to their certain deaths to that hoped for new war.

Trump Appoints Yosemite Sam As National Security Advisor

via GIPHY


President Trump has appointed Yosemite Sam as National Security Advisor (American spelling). Sam has form wrt "diplomacy" and international conflicts:
  • Sam was proactive in pushing for the USA to overthrow Saddam Hussein and invade Iraq.

  • Sam said of America's failed Afghanistan war that "making Afghanistan serene and peaceful does not constitute a legitimate American geopolitical interest."

  • Sam argues that the war in Afghanistan will be "won or lost in Pakistan".

  • Sam, for good measure, wanted/wants the USA to become directly involved in Syria.

  • Rounding things off nicely, Sam also wants the USA to bomb Iran and North Korea.

  • For good measure, Sam also hates the UN and wavers between "defunding it" or simply invading it.

However, people should not be too fearful of Sam, he is in fact not the war monger that his public image suggests. In fact he is a pacifist:

1 He has promised Trump that he "won't start any wars", and

2 He dodged the Vietnam draft, instead enlisting in the National Guard and attending law school after his 1970 graduation. 
"I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost."

Photo Ops vs War

Never let a war get in the way of a good photo op, simply postpone the war until after you've been photographed in the relevant location.

The Calm Before The Storm


As ego boosting and enigmatic as it might be to have your picture taken with guys in military uniforms whilst using the phrase "the calm before the storm", you might want to bear in mind that others may deem that to be notice of an imminent attack.

Careless talk costs lives!

Munchkin Fails To Reassure


Call me old fashioned, but the fact that Munchkin defaulted to "nuclear", and not "conventional", in his "reassurance" is not at all "reassuring"!
