We get letters: sometimes, I think we’re doomed.

  1. Warren,

    I could limit it to come again. But I prefer the following: ? (It’s both more succinct and apropos.)

    • The Doctor says:

      I’ve definitely noticed that one of the standard approaches of pro-Kremlin trolls on political comment boards these days is claim they’re just for “peace”.

      Of course their formula for “peace” = giving Vladimir Putin big chunks of the neighbouring sovereign country he invaded.

      Sort of like the formula for Peace in Our Time that people like Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh and Oswald Mosely advocated in the run up to WW2.

      • Doc,

        Not quite like that winning cocktail of one part antisemitism, one part fascism and another part being an out and out traitor.

        • And then you can throw in Edward and Wallis into the mix as Nazi sympathizers and traitors. Wallace spent excessively and serially torrid nights with Von Ribbentrop when he was German ambassador. Her german was impeccable and she had very little trouble bringing the King around. After abdication, they gave classified info to the enemy at various parties, hence their eventual exile to, was it The Bahamas? Had I been his brother, I would have put both of them before a firing squad. But that’s just me.

          Mind you Von Ribbentrop was a strange fellow: worked on the Quebec Bridge, insulted The King in an Ottawa tavern and quickly fled Canada. And the guy ultimately met the noose at Nuremberg.

  2. Come to think of it, one can easily diagnose a 21st century parallel universe where like in 1930s Germany, a con artist and madman induced a frenzied collective psychosis that only the strongest of individuals could successfully resist. Few were able to maintain their capacity at critical analysis and as rational thinkers. We find many of those exact symptoms now inhabit your average Trump supporter: an eager willingness to forego democratic institutions and a clear willingness to impose a fascist government upon the American people. How low has that country sunk. May Trump do the world a favour and drop dead.

    I note this fellow doesn’t refer to any of his own children “in their ’20’s”…. it also can be assumed he does not expect to be among those “cleaned out”…. It seems those who talk the toughest never really show up when it does get nasty.
