Mentally dysfunctional British Politicians and the advent of war in Europe

 

Mentally dysfunctional British politicians and the advent of war

Listening to British politicians one realizes that they live in their own world, totally detached from reality.

Simple logic does not seem to work in their brains. If there is war between A and B and you side with B sending weapons to kill and destroy A, what do you think that it is going to happen?

The disconnect is dangerous and it seems that there is the belief that "it will never happen to us".

Hermann Goering promised Adolf Hitler that "no German cities will be bombed". Things were rather different. In fact, it even started by accident. One evening a German crew got lost over Britain and unable to return to base with a bomber full of bombs they decided to drop the bombs and go back to base. The only problem was that navigating in the dark they had been unable to determine their own location and did not know that they were flying over London. Britain reacted and a bombing sortie was carried out in retatiation for what was believed to have been an intentional attacks against London. Until then, Adolf Hitler had rejected the idea of any attack against British cities and the Luftwaffe was focusing only on military installations. In reponse to the British retaliation to what had been an accident, German bombing missions were carried out against London and other British cities.

A bully Prime Minister trusts that nothing will happen to UK because of a gang called NATO, that Britain can continue attacking the Russian Federation and there were will be no lethal consequences for Britain. He coud be badly mistaken. Britain could be used as an example for other NATO members. A lethal attack against Britain would send a clear message to other NATO members telling them "if you move a finger, we will bomb you too". The reality is that most NATO members amount to zeroes when it comes to defensive and offensive power. NATO is very much the spirit of the gang. How do you tackle a gang? You target the leaders of the gang and Britain has positioned itself as the leader of a gang.

Herr Merz would do well looking at the photographs of German cities taken in 1945 and then tell the German people "Do not worry. There is going to be war, but nothing will happen to German cities". To make it more authentic he could even utter the same words Hermann Goering used to reassure Adolf Hitler.

John Kennedy: Being Human, being responsible and accountable are key elements of any democracy

 

Several decades have passed since Johnn F Kennedy invited people to think what they could do for their country instead of thinking what the country could for them.

In essence, what he was telling was 'stand up and do what needs to be done instead of constantly waiting for somebody to do it for you.

You don't have to be born in wealth to do what needs to be done. In fact, what I see is widespread apathy, a constant state of resentment, and the belief that whatever needs to be done is not within our means.

When you think about what is happening in Afghanistan after more than 36 billion Pounds were spent far away in a country that far too many need to consult a map to find out where it is, inhabited by people we could hardly come by even if we tried to, that speak a language that the vast majority of us does not understant, with social, economic, and political realities that most of us are completely unaware of, with customs and values that for what we have been told are radically different form our customs and values, you struggle to accept that most people show no interest in asking for accountability of those who made decisions and of those who are making decissions.

You come to the conclusion that most people don't care.You come to the conclusion that most people are happy to live in ignorance. You come to the conclusion that most people don't give a damn about how their monies are being used. They don't seem to join the dots to understand that while they are struggling with bad living conditions and unemployment, that while we have people most of whom are suffering from mental illness living on the streets, somebody is benefitting from the expenditure of more than 36 billion Pound in a foreign adventure.

We hear the world democracy and people congratulating themselves 'because we live in a democratic country'. Do we live in a democratic country? Do we take care of public business that affects all of us? 

The invitation that was very much a request to get involved in public business is us relevant today as it was when John Fitzgerald Kennedy ask people to take responsibility. Taking responsibility has a lot to do with accountability and this is what has been lacking all along.
