JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: ARE WE HEADED FOR WAR WITH RUSSIA? WHY NO ONE SEEMS EVEN TO CARE




COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY THE SAKER IN RUSSIA INSIDER


"We're Headed to War with Russia, and No One Seems to Care”

Yes, I do think we are on a trajectory for war.

It's terrifying but simply true.

But I am not sure that no one seems to care.

It's more of a matter of inability to do anything about it. Passivity in the face of truly mad terror.

All of the West has utterly buckled to America's new hyper-aggressiveness. There isn't a voice to be heard in Europe about anything important, except, "yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full," as the American establishment tears up and burns much of the planet.

As for Americans, they have no real choices in politics. It's a pathetic stage play of democracy. No matter who you vote for, the Washington establishment wins. Kerry vs. Bush? Romney vs Obama? Clinton vs Trump? Maybe Biden vs Trump?

There isn't a major figure in America who stands for anything different than what we see.

Big Money buying national politics plus uncontrolled lobbyists plus a cancerous Pentagon and CIA pretty well assure the results we see. Those are the rotten building materials for today's godawful Washington establishment.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm watching one of those magnificent old Greek tragedies in which, no matter how hard he struggles, the protagonist goes down to his fate.
