Russia, Russia, Russia
Saw a tee-shirt the other day that said:
“If it was Russia against the Dems, I’d be rooting for Putin.”
The man and woman wearing the shirts were in the rally crowd in a free democracy.
Proclaiming that they’d rather be a communist than a democrat.
Kind of crazy, no?
And as I write this there’s a whole lot of anxiety regarding Russia and the Ukraine.
Here’s the thing:
Putin wants one thing for America:
Destruction.
He never has been and never will be a friend to America, and no matter what side of the political aisle you stand on, you must admit that the Russia love is weird.
When I was a kid we worried about a Cold War with Russia.
Through the years we heard about the atrocities, the bread lines, the banishment to Siberia.
Rocky Balboa tried to bring everyone together in Rocky 4 but even that didn’t work.
And now?
Russia is on the verge of starting a war that will have a detrimental impact on the entire world.
And there are news programs championing that effort?
Americans are wearing tee-shirts as if they are rooting the Red Sox over the Yankees? (Which is also pretty dopey).
I don’t get it.
As John Lennon once wrote:
“Crazy days indeed. Most peculiar, Momma.”
