Our Elected Accountants are feeling powerful, unleashing their might against such titans as Portugal. Which shows, again, that under Wheely Boy's and DieselBloke's leadership, the EU faces no problem more serious than 0.2% of peanuts.
Yes, I know, it's fucking political. These idiots will punish anyone who doesn't do exactly what they want, when they want it, regardless of the result it may have on millions of people.
Despite all the talk from the likes of Farage and Le Pen, they're not the ones destroying the EU. They just have to stand still and wait. Germany and its allies in this war are actually doing all the work.
Meanwhile, away from this kindergarten, and further to the East, some signs of hope are emerging.
- Turkey has taken the first steps to approach Russia.
- Russia and China have announced several trade deals.
To understand why this is good news, one need only remember two points:
- The "Western so-called Civilization" has proven that it needs something to keep it in check; and
- it can only be kept in check by something that's both destructive and threatening.
Point 2 is important, nothing else will work - international law is useless, broad trade deals are designed to be exploited, and don't even get me started on regulation. In other words, rules will be enforced selectively - enforced for some, ignored for others.
I'm not claiming Turkey, Russia or China are any different. As I always say, I see no difference between Washington, Moscow or Berlin - each will destroy lives, as many as needed, to get what it wants.
But I still say that this building up around Russia and China is important - not because this alternative is better, but because, as long as it looks credible and threatening, the assholes on "our" side who think they run the show will have a few wild cards they can't control.
And a few wild cards are all that's required to bring down this house of cards we're so stupidly proud of.
I can only hope that's threatening enough.
