Easier to control the masses when we are in crisis…

Yep. Takes the focus off the real crisis.

The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.” ― George Orwell, 1984.

How Orwellian.

How Orwellian.

I don't think it was suppose to have been written as an instruction manual.

I read the news at about 4-6 "WTF's" a day.

The "real crisis" being ...? Oh, never mind.

How Orwellian.

"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it" Edward Burke. One might argue it's an Orwellian concept but it's more an inmobious strip.

A corollary is, "Those of us who DO know history are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it."

Nope. In fact expect more inflation and lack of goods. Remember Iraq and how we had no business there? Russia now.

Inflation is going to get worse.

"The U.S. did make a deal in 1994 with Ukraine, known as the Budapest Agreement. Ukraine had the third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile.
This agreement meant that Ukraine would destroy the weapons and the U.S., United Kingdom (U.K.), and Russia would guarantee Ukraine staying secure. "

Apparently beings it wasn't a 'treaty' and Ukraine was never brought into NATO, we don't have to honor our promise after we convinced them to get rid of their defenses.

And yeah I hear many saying none of our concern, many said the same when Hitler was invading Europe in '39,'40, wasn't until December 7, 1941 that the USA decided it was affecting us.

Even New York City may be rolling back restrictions.

The state dropped mask mandate weeks ago, except for schools and hospitals. Our DD's FFA trip was cancelled over it because they would have to make the kids wear masks while sleeping, school didn't want to do that so cancelled.
Those same kids can run around together unmasked in Walmart, restaurants, roller rinks etc, but no school functions.
