Davos the WEF wet dream plays out dramatically against the same setting as Mann's Magic Mountain. Escobar finds implausibly based on the work of the French historian Todd that France and Germany did not see the train headlight called Ukraine and are in this wise minor partners in the Washington, London, Warsaw, Kiev axis of Natostan.
Escobar is a decent writer but an obvious one.
Obvious by ignoring anything that does not fit his thesis. Indeed his non recognition of how China and Russia play out a communist end game vis a vis a captured West is remarkable.
"Backward political good-timers in Davos reiterated: “To achieve peace, Russia must lose”. None of them gets it that a nuclear power’s loss of a conventional war can lead to a nuclear one. Nuclear powers haven’t been defeated in major conflicts crucial for their destiny. "
I used to love to go to this place called "Playland at the Beach" when I was a kid. There was a "Funhouse" there with mirrors that made you laugh and slides that made you scream in happy terror. Then...there was "The Wheel...you got on the thing and when it had the right number of fools on it, it started to spin...nothing to hold onto, made of polished perfectly joined hardwood, no blemishes to dig a finger into, grab onto someone else and you both fly off, it goes faster and faster and is throwing everyone off except for...no one. It threw everyone off, the guy that operated it made sure it did, off you flew into a padded enclosure, laughing and whooping.
Close your eyes now, think about congress in session...that's what I think they are, no one lasts for more that five minutes on the floor and there is no one to hold onto that seems able to help.
Maybe Sheldon Whitehouse is ready to save us by runing his own life, I don't know, but if we don't stop this fucking slide we're all going to be guarding our shit in the woods again and hoping it don't flood,burn or just give us a disease we can't handle.
Thank the thing I can still hear music, I would give the fuck up without the Dead to listen to and go ahead and laugh. What do you got that saves your ass? Fucking world is too much without a break from the shit in the wind these days.
