Friends, views certainly differ on the new security agreement that the U.S. has reached with Denmark and Greenland. Some say it will guarantee American hegemony permanently and at little cost to the USA. Others say that there was already plenty of security cooperation with the Danes and Greenlanders, and never much prospect of a Russian or Chinese conquest of Greenland. I'll let you decide for yourselves.

Greenland was one of several topics that DJT covered during his big speech at the UN today. He also threatened Iran with "annihilation", as per usual, but also expressed optimism that a deal will be struck, also as per usual. He's probably right, though, that the regime might come back to the table after the midterms, after which they (wrongly) assume that the Democrats will be in power and able to help them out. The Dems may well be in control of Congress, but Congress will have precious little ability to influence our conflict with Iran.

Oh, and you might also want to check out my latest article, which focuses on a bill languishing on the oversized desk of New York Governor Kathy Hochul:

Dr. Waddy: The North Vietnamese rightly perceived in the extensive far leftist organized dissent in the US an America much divided in its support for the war. And it gave them very much encouragement as they faced American firepower and stuck to their prime purpose, the forceful subjugation of S. Vietnam to by definition totalitarian Marxism.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly the seating of a US Congress devoted to subversion of our war effort, might well encourage the Iranian regime to hold on and give fatal pause to those Iranians waiting for a chance to overthrow their oppressors. Being a true democracy, the US has a demonstrated history of doctrinal changes which lead to it rescinding its support for movements which have placed ALL their faith in us. A DSA America hating Congress would do its best to "assure"the Iranian neomedievalists that they may well still be able to continue their tyrannical rule and their fantastic dreams of terrorizing modern civilization.

ReplyDeleteWonder what Marx would say about Marxism if he returned today?
Ray : From what I've read of Marx I would guess he would regret only Marxism's failure and present abomination among civilized people and not the almost fantastic injustice he inspired. He was the prototypical amoral , bigoted , heartless , well, Marxist .
ReplyDeleteHe might have been surprised that the imposition of his doctrine manifested as much murder and living hell as it did but he would have shrugged it off and said "well, try again" I think he would have approved of what I regard as marxism's demonstrated essential Jew hatred and he would have supported the annihilation of the State of Israel. His tract on the Jewish "question" embraced the libel of the Jew as fundamentally venal and therefore a pillar of the bourgeoisie. I wonder if his screed would have developed had he never lived? German 19th century thinking may have made it probable.
Dr. Waddy: Well, today PM Netanyahu courageously takes the podium in the very same "forum" disgraced by many who wish his very death and the utter physical destruction of Israel! Possibly many of them will pusillanimously "boycott" him as well as probably will the pipsqueak Marxist Jew hating "Dear Leader" of NYC, the home of myriad Jewish citizens in what was once a haven for them. The PM will, with head held high, hazard his entrance to a city degraded beyond measure by its empowerment of that incipient totalitarian and his opportunistic use of ICC dictum to "justify" calling for the PM's arrest.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the PM's intended denunciation of Comrade Mamdani and I hope he extends it to any remaining in that hall who uncompromisingly wish his country supreme ill.
I think Israel deserves some well considered and well intended constructive negative criticism. BUT! In no way does it deserve the terribly intense antipathy directed at it in a world full of injustices. I think that amounts to a continuation of the relentless abomination of "antisemitism" , which takes its place with the worst of the infamies, historically and some presently, forced on humans by other humans.
