My last series of posts involved springtime 2021 and Curmudgeonly reflections on the Norman invasion of 1066. The set before that involved fictional murdertrout and the memory of a society where wrestling pythons helped sell life insurance.
What’s the common thread? I don’t want to talk about current politics. At least not directly. The glare of absurdly megawatt levels of incompetence mixed with a meaty stew of human sin is simply too much.
Stupidity, in it’s most concentrated form, creates an event horizon of moron. Once a person gets that far up their own ass, no intelligence can escape. Look at a photo of Trudeau. You think this guy has the slightest clue about… anything? I mean just look at him. I wouldn’t trust this meathead to ride a bicycle without getting his dick stuck in the chainguard.
What a tool.
He’s a human Petri dish, a genetically engineered being who oozes a combination of elite asshole and complete moron. I wouldn’t expect that twerp to manage a coffee shop, much less a country. I’ve taken shits with greater gravitas than the manchild that “leads” Canada.
That’s the risk. Ponder stupid people doing stupid things and soon you’re teetering on the edge of their universe of fail. It’s not just a surface layer of dipstick, it’s dumbass all the way down.
Lest one fall into the gravity well of elites busy setting their own balls on fire, it’s wise to look away. Better to think about the battle of Hastings in 1066 or talk to a tree. I could comment on Trudeau’s horse mounted henchmen curb stomping a little old lady in a mobility scooter. But what would I say? Bludgeoning old people is rude? Freezing bank accounts of people who’ve broken no laws is evil? No shit! Doing bad things to people who aren’t breaking laws is indeed the very definition of evil. And dumb. I know that. You know that. Trudeau doesn’t know that but he’s, as already discussed, a fuckin moron.
I could comment on Australia creating genuine concentration camps. I could comment on an American president who’s a vegetable.
But why? Dude’s too out of it to hold a job at a car wash and too out of it to diaper a baby. He can’t do what a bobble headed teenage cheerleader can do at a fundraiser or as a side gig in 9th grade. We could analyze the mush that comes out of the teleprompter he reads but y’all either know this is bullshit or you’re already lost.
Being lost has got to suck, but it’s not my problem. Some folks are so deeply of the bullshit nothing will save them but reality. Sooner or later they’ll begin to starve, or their teeth fall out because society no longer can support dentists, or their bank account just got frozen because something they said on F***book triggered someone’s brother’s uncle’s pet’s daughter and now they’re broke and wondering about this coupon for a free ride in cattle cars. The point is, many people won’t come up for air until something forces the issue and that’s not my problem.
That’s a beef I had with Orwell. He spent a lot of time telling things which everyone not actively deluded already knows. “A boot stamping on a human face forever“… that’s bad, don’t do it. Really? That’s the great reveal? Thanks genius I had no idea. Don’t get me wrong, 1984 had some good points but the basics are only misinterpreted by willful idiots. Willful idiots (particularly the ones who like and enjoy their delusions) aren’t going to learn… they’re fucking deluded. It’s part of the definition.
So… having said I’m trying to avoid modern bullshit… why have I fallen off the wagon? Because it’s too fucking funny.
I’ve watched President Potato bitch about Russia since… since so long ago it was when Biden was sentient. None of this matters one bit because nothing Biden does is wise. An unwise man without accomplishment is a fart in a windstorm compared to Russia. Hell, the dude is doing shit that’s a classic joke: Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
(If you’re fixing to get all pedantic and run to the comments about how the Ukraine is not in Asia… calm your tits. I have a map too.)
Point is, messing with Russia in Russia’s back yard is a bad idea. Doing it when your president looks like this is galactically stupid. I mean just look at this animated meat sculpture:
Going toe to toe with Russia five months after royally fucking up another land war in Asia? Absolute boss level incompetence.
Here’s a photo. Is it Kabul or is it Saigon? Let’s face it, it’s both:
Messing with Russia in winter is so stupid that it’s classic art.
You know what would be better than bitching about Russia and getting dragged into Ukraine? Anything and nothing. I’m a big fan of nothing. If Biden’s handlers could calm the fuck down and simply do absolutely nothing… that would be better than getting involved with Russia and the Ukraine. Get him a puppy… no wait, they tired that. A turtle maybe?
If they chained Biden in the basement with Matlock on a loop tape and ten gallons of ice cream, that would be better than watching Biden get a turbo wedgie from Putin. I mean, who’s going to stop Putin? Would that be our military? Now? They just got yanked from Afghanistan, had the vax mandate rammed up their ass, and they’ve been diversity trained to the point that I’m not sure if they could handle a bar fight against two bikers and a drunk cowboy. Even if our fighting men and women are deeply committed and want nothing more than to kill… it won’t help. They’re doomed to be run by the insane and the massively unaccomplished. People who’ve done nothing cannot lead to anywhere other than their own ass.
What are they going to do against Putin? Tell him their preferred pronouns?
Yeah, I’m sure he’s worried. Look at that guy. He doesn’t tell bullshit stories about teenagers at a pool in Delaware in 1968 because he’s Vladimir Fucking Putin. Biden’s a corrupt, incompetent, geriatric, failure. Putin is the real deal.
So why? Why, after fucking up an election transition, the economy, inflation, the price of gas, Afghanistan, and vax mandates, would Biden’s handlers think “war, with Russia, in winter, in Russia’s backyard… now that’s a good idea!”
Because it worked for one of our other somewhat less than clever leaders. I present to you Chimpy Mc. Hitler. (At least that’s what our unbiased media called him.)
Actually, now that I think about it, Chimpy and the Potato were equally articulate:
George W. Bush was about as popular as a shit sandwich for the first 234 days of his presidency. Then something happened that spiked Bush’s popularity.
See the graph. Green is Biden’s endless freefall superimposed over black, which is George W. Bush’s more or less unimpressive presidency. Do you note a strange anomaly at day 234? A sudden uptick and for a few years Americans could almost grudgingly tolerate the moron they’d elected. What caused that amazing burst of popularity?
What happened that day. Can we remember? What is the smart thing George W. Bush did? It must have been pretty awesome. It got him about 80% popularity for a short time and allowed him to squeak out a second term despite being pretty much the fuck up we all knew he was in the first 233 days.
Did he pass a fiscally responsible budget? Did he bring peace on earth? Did he develop cold fusion? Did he cure cancer?
Nope. America was surprised by the biggest attack since Pearl Harbor.
Bush controlled this like Pompeii controlled the eruption of Vesuvius.
Now, twenty plus years later, the only president less popular than Carter has gleaned from Bush’s clueless faffing about the exact wrong lesson. “If you want to be popular, be there and standing around with your thumb up your ass when shit goes bad so massively that the people rally around you. They’ll prop up your ignorant failing administration and you can have all the ice cream you want.”
It’s not going to work for Biden. It may look like some sort of 5D Chess master “strategery” but it’s the logic of a rooster crowing that thinks it makes the sun rise. I have a response to this particular effort by President FailsAtEverything: That was 20 years ago and we’ve been shit on too many years to fall for patriotism like that again. Every fucking day patriotism has been hammered. Even people who have eagles tattooed on their ass and bleed red, white, and blue stars and stripes have changed their minds. They’ve learned. They love their country but will never rally around President Polident. Nobody will. Winning (hah!) or losing won’t matter for Biden. Times have changed, nobody cares about the Ukraine, and the people are pissed right here, right now. Aside from single women drinking wine while listening to NPR in a room full of cats, gay mimes, and people who benefit from his grift, Biden is without support. He’s toast.
Nobody wants to defend the territorial integrity of the Donbas on behalf of a president who won’t defend the territorial integrity of Texas. Asking them to do it after you’ve gotten the core military supporters fired from their job, kicked off social media, turned their school into a full Marxist madhouse, doubled the price of gasoline, and tanked the economy? One word: Nope.
This is a dumb situation to get ourselves involved in. It’s a dumb reason to do it. Whatever results from our involvement will be dumb. (The same goes for Taiwan if it comes into play.)
If you’re worried about the Ukraine, turn off the TV and forget about it. Everyone knows you don’t fuck with Russia in the winter! Our military is hollow and Putin knows it. So do all the adults in the room. Putin wasn’t going to take shit about NATO (and we agreed not to push it before Biden… you know.. pushed it).
President PopTart is too dumb to see the difference between a surprise attack on Manhattan and a place most Americans can’t find on a map… so he’s throwing a hail Mary pass that will go over like all his other brilliant initiatives.
Repeat after me: Not our circus, not our monkeys. There are things to worry about but this isn’t one of them. If you’re jittery, get a seed catalog and start planning your garden. You never know how far things will go (especially if the fertilizer markets are disrupted and take down some food production with them… yes, that’s a thing). Evil (and Biden) can only destroy but you can do something positive. Tomatoes are better than Twitter posts.
Good luck. I’m rooting for you.
Muy Bueno.
In retrospect, we should have foreseen that Zhou Bai Den would precipitate a Russian invasion of Ukraine over a region named for himself: the Dumbas region.
Excellence – one of your best.
Thanks.
From mean tweets = burning blue cities to stolen election = burning down everything… you’re breaking my balls here, Monty. Could sure use a door number three just about now.
Few people are as dangerous as an idiot who believes they are a genius. Be that Justin Castreau or Pedo Joe the Molester.
Very well said man.
Thanks.
Excellent writing, Curmudgeon. I might quibble about Australia, but that doesn’t take away from the awesome.
D
Thanks.
Spot on.
Thank you.
Taiwan has *some* strategic value. Ukraine has none (for the US).
We need Taiwan’s electronics and chip factories. All Ukraine gives us is women looking for marriage.
I could be wrong but I’ll guess that Russia gets what it wants within days or weeks instead of months or years; probably with minimal fighting (which the press will hype up like it’s Armageddon). It may be over almost before folks realize it has begun. All America will do is piss and moan. There’s not much else it can do.
I don’t know if China will move on Taiwan but they’re not idiots and it makes sense for them to take action while America is led by an inert geezer with no popularity. That will change in due time and then they will have less opportunity. I imagine some sort of financial / negotiation approach. Ships and planes are only part of China’s options. As for Taiwan, they are adjacent to massive China and American promises aren’t going to help. They may chose negotiating over fighting. Who would blame them?
How that will affect chip supplies is unknowable. China wants to “reunify” and they’d also like Taiwan to remain a cash cow. Factories reduced to rubble won’t make money. Chip suppliers will eventually (in a decade?) diversify. Placing the world’s balls in a vice over chips coming from mostly one place was stupid, stupid should hurt.
brandon already has a turtle, his name is mitch.
Nice!
The Biden regime is Cargo-Cult politics. His aides and advisors haven’t got a clue what they’re doing but they know what politicians look like when they’re succeeding.
Good analogy.
I found a good link. Unfortunately, I found it too late. I’d already posted. So I’m including it here.
I focus on the short term. There are two sides to this pissing match and one doesn’t belong in the fight. Biden is a dementia addled non-entity that shouldn’t be messing with Putin; especially within driving distance of Moscow. Wrong league, bad plan, Biden doesn’t belong at the adult’s table and he shouldn’t act like he does. Captain Corn Pop just isn’t up to the challenge; and maybe he never was. Wise men know their limits. Biden fell upwards all the way to accidentally becoming president and he thinks he belongs on the mountain top. He’s a teenager that has an iPhone and thinks they’re a master of technology simply because they bought a shiny toy.
Please read: “The US is really, really world class bad at foreign policy. And we make the world worse when we try it.” It covers a longer timeframe. It’s the same isolationist bent but traces the history of bad foreign affairs far back before Biden was around to drool on things. Click here: https://westernrifleshooters.us/2022/02/25/egm-the-us-is-really-really-world-class-bad-at-foreign-policy-and-we-make-the-world-worse-when-we-try-it/
The other side of this turns out to be… Tsar Vladimir is nuts enough to launch a full-on invasion of Ukraine at the beginning of Mud Season. And the Ukrainians seem determined to make Leonid’s Afghan Adventure look like a good idea by comparison. Sounds like a lot of Russians ain’t too happy about it either, reportedly including troops who suddenly found themselves in a foreign war instead of a routine training exercise.
I’d always assumed that Vlad was Lawful Evil and reasonably smart as world leaders go. Suddenly he’s acting Chaotic Evil and not real bright. Is this some Alien Stupid Ray at work? (Dang; gotta dig out the Futurama DVDs now. I’d been thinking Doc Smith’s Eddorians were behind the madness, but maybe it’s the Brain Spawn. I’d forgotten the Stupid Ray.)
Niet! Comrade. Ivan Ivanovitch will cream the Ukraine and it’ll all be over bar the inevitable street fighting and guerilla warfare (see Stalingrad August 1942 to February 1943, except the jackboot is on the other foot this time) shortly.
Joe Biden will deploy the 69th Intersectional Dildo Brigade (78 pronouns and rising, 56 shades of lipstick and nail varnish and mandatory high heels in their full dress uniform).
Bozo Johnson will send in the Royal Camel Corps (last deployed in 1918 as part of the Desert Mounted Corps during Allenby’s capture of Damascus, now down to 27 men who work in the stores counting boots, blankets and tins of corned beef, plus the regimental mascot of a female goat) and the rest of Europe will do nothing except shiver under blankets after Russia cuts off their gas.
Invading Russia in the winter is NOT a good idea (get yourself an ouija board and ask Napoleon, a few million Germans from Von Paulus’ 6th Army and others that have tried it) and pissing them off in the winter when they are keeping you warm and toasty plus supplying gas to generate electricity (very handy, is electricity) is likewise not a good idea.
Just like Biden, Putin is wearing diapers because he’s pissing himself laughing at the sanctions and threats …
Seriously, Martin Van Crefeld (http://www.martin-van-creveld.com) has it covered without the sensationalism. The two most recent articles are worth a read.
It is still winter in the northern hemisphere. Wonder what would happen if Russia were to cut off the gas supply to the EU? Might that not be sporty???
It won’t happen. The EU are dependent wimps who won’t do jack squat to the nation that supplies its fuel. They’ll squawk and issue firmly worded statements and maybe concoct sanctions on things nobody cares about but the only person who tells the oil supply to fuck off is a person who heats their house with a wood stove.
Would the world not be far better off if Turdeau DID get “his dick stuck in the (bicycle )chainguard”?
It would be better if Trudeau’s father (Castro?) had met with the bicycle attack.
It is, however, currently a little late for THAT.
Justin is a tragedy. Seriously.
He was born with everything a person could want at his fingertips. Sure, he wasn’t that bright… but lots of people are stupid. The crime is that his father was a bisexual flimp, and his mother was a bipolar whore. Had he been raised properly he could have been a passable man.
As for Biden – he’s a psyhopath and so is his son. They’ll hurt and kill people without a second thought. Men like Joe and his son are good arguments for eugenics.

History may not repeat itself, but it certainly seems to rhyme a lot…
Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia!
Other absurdia still incoming. From absurdism (philosophical concept) . I had to look it up.
I’d not advocate a war with Russia. But if it came to that Russia has been beaten and crushed by such mighty powers as France, Sweden, Poland, the Turks, and a wandering band of bad natured gypsies. Only the Germans could have failed and even they recruited a million Russians. Anyone else would have recruited enough Russians to do the job for them. Hint, hint.
Problem is we are led by experts that have fucked everything up since 1900. WWI? WW2? Korea? Vietnam” Middle East? Industrial policy? Energy policy? Affirmative action? Law and Order?
So if you have to fight the Russians crush them, none of this ladies tea time, oh my that was a war crime. Hell war is a crime. So if you engage in it there are only the dead and survivors and I aim to be a survivor. Having seen and been in three wars I don’t want any part of Uncle Stupid and his draft dodging, high heel wearing faggot experts.
