TALIBAN - BAN !

 The west lost the war to the Taliban but still tries to dictate the terms of peace or financial aid to the victors and takes amazing comfort in the soothing, soft-talk of Tali-man spokespersons who try to appear as religious abbots!

The West can't wait for the Taliman to set-up a "functioning government ".  This is like The allies being eager to see the invading Nazis set up shop in Paris or Poland or The Chinese communists set up rule in Peking after their armies swept across China in 1949.  

So now we have it. Just like the Nazis there are no surprises and no joys in the new government of the victors.  

Just a congress of neanderthal terrorists who at the first significant provocation would be fine targets for predator drones. 

 Unfortunately they have a huge cache of western citizen-prisoners whom they plan to hold as hostages until the west gives them all the treasure and all the protection they demand!

The other western fantasy which needs to be discarded is the efficacy of mass peaceful protest!  How did it go in Syria? How has it worked in Myanmar?, How about Hong Kong? 

 As Mao famously wrote a revolution isn't fun, romantic, easy or gentle.  It is an act of violence usually over decades in which the army with the most brutal weaponry wins over the weaker army.  

 Well today's gun factories in America and other nations have supplied the most brutal and most efficient killing equipment to the whole world but mostly to those with great wealth and power to insure that uprisings against them fail and they remain in power for dynasties.  The taliman for now, is one of them.  

So ladies, be either housewives again or martyrs but choose quickly!

SWEET TALK To get Welfare!

 Almost certainly the Taliban is talking sweetness to the West until they feel financially secure from Western welfare a d/or economic gain from native sources. 

Just as China now ignores western critiques and does as it pleases in Xinjiang because it doesn't rely on American goodwill and doesn't fear our military might, the Taliban will eventually crack down on western liberalism probably with China's encouragement and maybe surveillance hardware as well.  The best tool for the Taliban is future drone strikes until China gives them those too.

Mariel boatlift in Kabul?

 As the west rushes to save all the people fleeing Kabul are the nations receiving them guarding against the possibility that this will become  another Mariel boatlift where the Taliban deliberately inserts terrorists into the crowds to wreak violence and distrust from western nations hosting the refugees?

STUPUBLICAN - GOVERNMENT BREAKDOWN - Nation Break-Up?

I'm thinking lately that the "GOV'T BREAKDOWN" is actually a vast right wing conspiracy of international proportions.  It's "international" because  it is a JOINT EFFORT by the STUPUBLICANS, THE TEA PARTY and THE TALIBAN but chiefly it's the latter two. The "TT" is a fraternal team determined to fight for the noble cause of bringing the WORLD back to the MIDDLE AGES (or the stone age?) A time when moral values, faith in god and economic forces were all "perfect".

THE TEA PARTY/TALIBAN alliance is gradually succeeding in it's mission.  It's campaign to so badly disrupt governance of The United States of America that "The Great Satan" as Iran calls us, is getting ever closer to becoming a world-class failed state, sort of like Haiti but somewhat larger.

The rich and super-rich will have everything the way they want it and need it via their own resources without ANYONE telling them what to do.  The poor (the middle class - will have already become extinct) can "go eat cake" or as in Haiti, they can go eat "sand cookies" (1 part cooking oil - 1 part SAND, mud or any old dirt available) Then if the poor dare to rise-up they will be massacred by Pinkerton style "contractors" - those still living will be sucked up into the Prison-Industrial-Complex never to be heard from again..

SEQUESTRATION-GOV'T BREAKDOWN-DEFAULT,  It's ALL POSSIBLE and very PROBABLE with the country beholden to a THE TEA PARTY-TALIBAN, a horde of feuding neanderthals who know nothing of the world outside of "theirs" -and care nothing about it either.  

ANOTHER PERFECT analogy, may be to that of MAOIST CHINA (TEA-PARTY-TALIBAN-RED GUARDS-KHMER ROUGE etc.)   In the 1960's a gang of fanatics very similar to The Tea Party named "The Red Guards", attacked everything and everyone in China if they were the slightest bit productive, educated or worldly wise.

Soon China's central government was in such a mess that the whole country was starving and going crazy.  Eventually a political coup of sorts was hatched and the army retook control of the country until a new civilian administration was formed.

Perhaps this is a model of what's to come for us?  After all, the US Army's funding has been preserved more or less, so that if the Whackos from Waco make too much chaos - Maybe we'll have to imitate Egypt and rely on the U.S. Military to restore order and justice to this land of OURS ?

Simple Solution for Koreas Crisis!

For Americans who prefer complex things be made QUICK & EASY, here's a solution to the approaching world-war to be started for the fun of it by Kim Jong Ill of North Korea.

1) Somehow we have to get a really big drone to fly into Pyongyang and snuff Kim Jong ILL while he's passed-out from his nightly cognac and buffet binges.

2)Then we get the Chinese to quit counting their gold long enough to go over the Yalu river to calm & redirect the North Korean military leadership into productive national service for a change (like feeding the population after Kim starved most of them to death)

3)Then after the Korean people have gotten some food on their plates for awhile, China & The west can teach the North Koreans how to make a bunch of cheap stuff for Walmart that will be pretty high quality - until they get really good at unbridled, capitalism like the Chinese have learned to be.

4)Naturally, the now 'Liberated' North Korean people will be so thank full to the West that they will do whatever we ask them to do (until they get richer & smarter). Then we can keep the North Korean Army from getting antsy from too much do-gooding and too little killing by packing them up on buses & C -140's and delivering them directly to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan where we can "ask" them to please 'delete' the Taliban nasties from where ever they find them because they are really good at that sort of thing and lest we (nor the Russians) admit, we're not so good at it.

5) With the bulk of the over sized North Korean Military eagerly, busy in Afghanistan, The U.S. can better help the population build a civilian society and market economy closer to that in South Korea and keep on making stuff for Walmart (to starve the unions & the public in America) Then the next step will be to formerly reunite the long divided Korean peninsula with a Disneyfied "pulling-down-the-wall" ceremony & glitzy, after party for all the kids who missed the big one in Berlin during the age of Reagan in the 1980's !!!
