I have watched this video b4. History doesn’t have sides. History just happens. … unless you want to posit that there IS a god and that god IS directing history. And that god is the final arbiter of right and wrong. THEN, you can be on the wrong side of it.
Fairly right. It’s like the US is playing it’s role as the cavalry that comes in at the last minute.. Again. Like WW2.
The US government is all sorts of ignorant, sure they agreed to take some of the refugees, but that still leaves all of Europe in looming chaos. No reaction to Russian but sanctions. ISIS, bomb them. Great. This is WW3, in my mind. Might not be now as large scale yet but it will be. We’re just not fighting with sticks and stones but politics and propaganda.
Greetings from a Nordic country preparing to take in 30,000 more new refugees by the end of the year, and we only have 6 million people to begin with. How are we going to support that this soon?
For some reason I feel like I may have been far too opinionated. I mean no offense.
Knowing Thom, I’m sure that you are fine.
Nah, it’s not Thom. I just seem to kill the discussion on his blog posts, ya see. 😉 Maybe I’m just too impatient, though. Most likely that.
Walk without rhythm….
Conversations on Thom’s posts are a varied lot. Some of them get lively, others just languish. I DON’T think that you are to blame for a lack life here. If anything, I suspect that your strong opinion would have invited brisk discussion.
Too impatient then.
I do tend to be looking for a bit of a fight. 😉
And by fight I mean debate
My blog posts are queued up to post at a particular time each day, but I am at work then and don’t always have the time to respond to any comments. And many times I get no comments at all.
Perhaps I am wrong to do so, but often if I agree with what has been said I feel no need to comment.
You’re wrong.
… of course, you’re wrong no matter what you do.
America is semi-famous for being slow to act. And lately we seem to be showing that even when we do we don’t do it effectively.
The US is FAR from perfect.
No, that’s the thing and the “cavalry effect”. You do it plenty effectively, just always at the last moment.
I don’t know. Our “help” in Syria and Libya hasn’t counted for much of late.
It probably has for some. But the fact hat we have both US politicians and Putin (the dictator) criticizing basically all of Europe seems a bit ridiculous.
Seems only fair, as it’s a European tradition to criticize the US at every opportunity. 😉
Well that’s just tradition and we do love our traditions. 😛
