Have We All Gone M.A.D.?
I guess if I was to drink only a limited amount of strychnine that I wouldn’t die? Right? Guess that’s the same line of madness that our brain dead leaders in Washingotn are telling us about a “limited” engagement of nuclear weapons with Russia. Hmm, I’m glad to know that we’ve worked that out with Vladimir Putin, President of Russia. What were the negotiations? I’ll give you New York for St. Petersburg? Sounds good to me, unless of course you live in New York.
But, hey, it’s only a “limited” nuclear bomb. It’s not one of those 100 megaton nuclear bombs that can blow up Texas. I’m feeling better already, but then again, I don’t live in New York. And of course all that nuclear will stay in New York.
Our leaders make it sound like a nuclear bomb might go off in the morning and that will surely ruin your day but you’ll be able to take the kids to school and go to work the following day. After all, it’s “limited,” it’s only a tactical “nuke,” stop worrying, nothing to see here, move along.
This war has gone on a 130 billion dollars too long. There is no victory on the other side of this, there will be no winners, only losers.
Look at Ukraine. A beautiful country over 1,000 years old. A strong and hard working people now destroyed, leveled and the damage that has been inflicted upon it isn’t enough. No we have to break out the “limited” nuclear weapons. I guess that’s because every young man in Ukraine hasn’t died yet in battle, but we’re getting close. A couple of “limited” nukes and we can accomplish that goal.
So at what point do we say enough is enough? When the body bags start coming home to America? When the war comes to the shores of the USA? Because understand this!! We are now at war with a country that is more technically advanced than us. They have hypersonic missiles that travel at Mach 6 (4603 MPH) and we don’t, and we are unable to shoot them down. You have 12-15 minutes to bend over and kiss your backside goodbye.
This has to stop. We are on the precipice of the greatest disaster mankind has ever known. And one that we (this generation) won’t recover from and succeeding generations to follow.
Maybe we can get back to wanting our kids to do better than us, because if this continues, there is no future and what’s more there is no America, we will be recorded in the pages of history. I encourage you to Google “What happens when a nuclear bomb goes off” and secondly, start calling our elected officials and telling them END THIS WAR NOW. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, 617-5653170; Sen. Edward Markey, 617-565-8519; Rep. William Keating, 508-771-6868; Rep. Stephen Lynch, 617-428-2000.
I thank you, and your children and grandchildren thank you.
