Looks like the USA has to choose!

Either continue its support for allies in NATO against aggression from Russia, North Korea and China or side with our traditional enemies to make a new world order.

So – is it Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (plus most Western European countries – Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Poland etc)

Or is it North Korea, Russia and China.

The focus is Ukraine right now but Russia has declared the UK is their number one enemy and is openly threatening us with nuclear holocaust. They are cutting our communication cables, blowing up underwater pipelines, tracking all cables and pipelines and attacking us on a daily basis with incursions and cyber warfare.

Is the USA with us or against us?

The fact that Trump is openly supporting extreme right-wing pro-Putin Europeans like Oban and Wilders, Farage and Tice, indicates what he wants.

From where I am the USA has become a totalitarian, fascist regime. The MAGA movement is openly backing fascists, racists and totalitarian regimes.

The extreme right-wing movements like ‘We Shall Not Be Replaced’ are setting the agenda – misogyny, racism and fascism rules. The extreme religious right-wing nutters are propelling this!

Just think – if MAGA had been in charge back in the 1930s they WOULD have sided with Hitler and Japan to rule the world. There was a minority movement to do just that.

I don’t think the majority of Americans are racist misogynists. I don’t think they want to turn their back on their friends to embrace their enemies. Will they allow Trump and MAGA to do this?

Poetry – I think it’s you and me

I think it’s you and me

Who decides there’s a war?

I think it’s you and me –

Reacting to the facts we’re fed

By the powers that be.

Who fights in that war?

I think it’s you and me

Dying on the battlefield

For Queen and country.

Who loses a war?

I think it’s you and me.

Some gain wealth and power

But we live in austerity.

It’s the same mob who creates the wars and profit from them.

It’s the same mob who fight in the wars, get crippled and killed and end up paying for them.

It has always been thus.

We are conned and exploited. Inflamed by the media and manipulated.

Poetry – Choices

Choices

You can choose who to hate

And choose who to love.

It’s merely a question of prejudice.

You can side with the haters

Or side with the innocent

It’s only a roll of your dice.

Perhaps it is birth

Or experience and circumstance

That dictates your views?

Perhaps it is the cool light

Of rational thought

Or merely what’s reflected in the news?

We are all victims of lies,

Subject to propaganda,

As malleable as plasticine.

It is the manipulators

Who pull all the strings

And obfuscate what is seen.

Opher – 26.10,2019

We do make choices as to which side we support. But how do we make those choices? And who is manipulating us?
