From today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:
With the sudden about-face of the US and Germany on sending heavy tanks to Ukraine, the world finds itself bizarrely transported back in time to WWI or WWII. German tanks with iron crosses returning to the very ground they were expelled from in 1945. History repeats itself. First as tragedy, then as farce. Also today: GOP kicks two Dems off of Intelligence Committee – do they have a point? And…does anyone in government NOT have classified documents at home?

NATO is at war with Russia. This did not begin well and will not end well. Merkel was a much better chancellor than Scholz.
Yes, she was a better chancellor, but as it turns out, not that much better,
A Green party minister. All green parties supposedly have anti war platforms written in. And yet somehow when they are in power they turn into uberhawks. A failure of democracy and a betrayal of their voters. I wonder, if Greens or Libertarians ever gained power here (not very likely), would they turn into pawns of the MIC as well, just like AOC and Bernie?…
With politicians in a Western democracy that is in essence a Darwinian type SOTF competition for the worst human character flaws possible, retrained only by what is not in direct opposition to the most stringent laws of nature, it is impossible to be too cynical.
So maybe she could still be Green in her own mind by taking the long view. To help create the circumstances in which most of humanity would be wiped out after a deep and long nuclear winter could be construed as a very effective green policy. Short of that, war isn’t a very environment-friendly undertaking. For example, you could find yourself as a green warmonger to respond to the release of gargantuan clouds of methane into the atmosphere on a hitherto fore unseen scale by casually overlooking it, and if pressed to cover it up.
There would be nothing Green about nuclear war no matter how many people were wiped out. I know you’re being facetious, just sayin’ for those who might think you’re serious.
In the U.S., the Green Party sold out decades ago. Originally the Green Party’s two main planks were peace and the environment, but they’ve become a left party instead. They prioritized getting elected over holding true to their values, and this is the result. They also failed a at getting elected, so a lose-lose here. Looks like German Greens have sold out too.
Well, Germany has experience in this arena. I suppose we can take them at their word. I’ve got my radiation pills…
Correction: We are at war with reason – because we’re a bunch of idiots.
