ANOTHER COLD WAR…..PLEASE, NOT AGAIN!

ANOTHER COLD WAR…..PLEASE, NOT AGAIN!

(FRAZER CHRONICLE)

(All the News That Nobody Else Will Print)

 

I’m at a total loss, I not one of those people who figure that they’ve always got an answer to every problem that they face. I grew up in a cold war, I didn’t know what was going on, but when I was a 1^st grader, we used to practice hiding under our desks in case that there was an air raid, this was back in 1950, some 64 years ago. And people wonder if history repeats itself.

The U.S. is fighting terrorists on, well, I don’t know how many fronts, I’m not sure that the military leaders have figured that one out either. I write about war from time to time, and by now anybody who is even a casual reader of my blog understands the fact that I absolutely hate war, and everything that it stands for.

The best way to term the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union would be as a complete disaster…..on both sides of the coin. Much capital from both countries went into the arms race, and without exception, everything else, in both countries! This was the actual legacy of the Cold War that was created by Russia and the United States…..and the jury is still out on the extent of the damage that was done.

The origins of the Cold War aren’t difficult to uncover, nor are these origins that complex, it all has to do with ideology about how to operate a country….(like it was a business. Here in the U.S. the fault of who started the Cold War rests completely with the Soviet Union. Of course this is a fallacy, but what the hell, regarding many different issues, it’s how we operate, we blame everything on them, whoever them) might be.

When Russia overthrew its Tsar structure of government through a revolution, and the country became the Soviet Union, unifying itself under Vladimir Lenin in November 1917, creating an ideological system called communism, the United States could only react with fear and trepidation. The U.S. government could not accept the simple fact that a country could exist with economic and political principles so critically opposed to democracy and industrial capitalism.

By 1919, the Red Scare had become an American reality, through the manipulation of public opinion, repression, and even physical force, anarchists, socialists and communists were clearly forced into retreat. Socialism or communism in the United States was simply an impossibility; it was too European for American tastes.

No matter who writes it, no matter who talks about it, the Cold War was, and possibly is a question of differences between the Soviet Union and the United States. Clearly socialism and capitalism do not mix; each is a completely different form of making money, and more to the point, who shares in the rewards of the effort to generate the money.

THE CHANCES OF ANOTHER COLD WAR

Are we on the brink of another Cold War, are the ingredients available for another run of meandering buffeting, and blustering, dialog that even those who talk the talk aren’t ready to walk the walk? Nobody in his right mind would consider unleashing a nuclear strike.

Starting another Cold War, and all of the issues that go along with it aren’t what the world needs at this time, and I’m not sure that the world court of opinion would allow these two overbearing crybabies to force everybody into another Cold War…..that is, unless everybody can make some money off from the deal.

I watch, I listen, and I read, I learn about what the incentives might be for keeping an at best, tenuous peace, or for countries being allowed by the world powers the right to govern their own people without interference. Then there’s the act of perception that ambassadors, governmental officials, and military leaders talk about. It’s like a kid’s game, almost like the tone of voice, If he’s gruff, watch out or if he talks in a quiet voice, he and his country can be had.

Have you ever heard of a more child-like approach to world issues that can have such dire consequences? Russian leader Putin “blinked,” so the West’s position is solidified, regarding to the Ukraine, what a load of dribble. These people aren’t on the ball field, there not on the playground, or in the gym, their surrounded by the world’s media…..and have absolutely nothing to fear, unless it’s a bad case of gas from the previous meal.

Republicans talk about how wishy-washy the President is on his foreign policy, is it…..I’m not sure, let me see, when he took office in January 2008, the country was involved in two wars, albeit, the war on terror, I’m talking on two fronts. Now we’re still at war battling terror, but now I can’t keep track of how many fronts that we’re on.

Right now, on this date, there aren’t any Hitler’s on the horizons, there’s terrorism, and then there’s man’s inhumanity towards man. If Russia is successful in reestablishing relations with Crimea, or getting the Ukraine to reenlist for another stent as members of the Soviet Union, to my way of thinking, that would be about it. All the rest of the land grabbing efforts that are going on in the world…..have been going on for awhile.

THE COLD WAR IN THE 21^ST CENTURY IS BASELESS

The United States has built an awesome arsenal the envy of the world, and has absolutely no peers, and for whatever reason, wink, wink, we taxpayers seem content on paying the taxes to keep the thing well maintained, oiled and greased.

An assertive military strike against the United States (by anybody) is completely out of the question, you don’t really call what we are fighting now, terrorism, an assertive military strike do you? We’ve been fighting somebody for so long, that if we didn’t have a foe, we’d be lost as a people, we NEED somebody to hate, we gotta, gotta have it.

The history of the Cold War runs long, and is deep here in the U.S., we don’t understand European ways, and we definitely don’t like communism/socialism. It’s really funny, our ancestors fled Europe to escape the degradations of the human spirit, to rectify a new order, religious freedom, and the right to stand on our own…..and today we want to get right back into the crap that Europe is. “I wish we could make up our minds.”

Yes my friends, the Cold War has been an on again, off again deal, and we’ve been fighting ghosts, the Cold War is a simple arm wrestling match of different ways of living, making money, living our lives, and how best to split up want is made. And if you look close….you can actually see reminisce of socialism right here in the good old U.S. of A.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
