I'm celebrating Oestre, the righteous Germanic goddess of fertility whose festival was usurped by the Christian patriarchy. After all, if you're going to have faith in an imaginary being, it may as well be one with desirable attributes
While I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, I am acutely aware that the USA perpetrated one of the great falsehoods of all time; generations have grown up believing that millions of Lemmings plummet to their death when their migrations reach cliff tops. In reality, it was Walt Disney's minions chucking a hundred or so of the poor creatures over a cliff. Any nation that is guilty of such heinous behaviour is capable of anything!

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 04-15-2017
Anyone else worried that Trump has sidelined the State Department (the diplomatic arm of the administration) and is essentially allowing the military to call the shots, so to speak? Yes, General McMaster is a significant upgrade on General Flynn, but the military isn't necessarily the best preparation for dealing with thorny international conflicts.
This is more of an issue as Trump doesn't seem to have any clue about how to solve international conflicts. On the campaign trail, he thought the answer to the North Korean problem was easy. Just tell the Chinese to pull him into line or the US would inflict damage on the Chinese economy. After his meeting with his Chinese counterpart, he conceded that the Chinese don't have the control of the North Koreans that he had assumed and he backed away from threats to nominate the Chinese as currency manipulators.
Now his childish strategy has failed, what does he do now? Who does he turn to for advice? Steve Bannon and his alt-right principles, his son-in-law (who has no foreign affairs experience), or the military?
Meeting bluster with bluster won't work, according to those who have studied the North Koreans. In fact, it may escalate the conflict.
And what will the military want to do in Syria? Will it want "boots on the ground"? Are we seeing an escalation there? As Trump has claimed he'd kill ISIS, will he go along with that?

Gareth Evans reckons Donald Trump is "the most ill-informed, under-prepared, ethically challenged and psychologically ill-equipped president in US history".
It didn't take rocket science to work that out.
What interests/concerns me is whether Trump now realises/acknowledges that he's not up to the job; I suspect not

Trump has China on the run and Fat Boy Kim ready to push the button...if Trump wins that game of bluff he could be a real hero, or he could be sitting
on a pile of radioactive waste...

Trump has changed his pre election stance completely in apparently confronting head on the Syrian and NK issues and thereby more indirectly China and Russia. It shows that he has been brought into line by the hawkish elements such as the military/security establishment and is seeking to establish credibility as a strongman and fixer. He is certainly proving to be completely self serving and willing to burn people e.g. Flynn and Bannon should the need arise. We live in dangerous times!
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 04-16-2017
Who would have thought a billionaire would side with the establishment? Don't forget he handed over control of the economy to a Goldman Sachs guy after saying he was going to go after Wall Street if he became President.
