i just turned 73 years of age, and i don't recall any world leader, let alone an "adversarial" one, calling the president of the united states of america a senile & incompetent old fool. in public. on the record. before god and everyone. but, it has become common place since the election of joe biden, and correct me if i am wrong, but the leaders of china, north korea and iran have insulted biden thusly, and i suspect a good many more believe it to be so.
i know that "killer" putin of russia (you may think of it as the soviet union, i still do) would like to challenge him to a verbal duel, and would do so at the drop of a hat, and would not hesitate to describe biden as seriously impaired, to the point of not being not competent to droll down his own chin without help, and a teleprompter. to his face. and, repeat it, if biden could not hear and/or digest it.
i thought about this, as i drove home from walla-squared, and my pastry from the collville street patisserie: a coffee-poppy seed quick bread. (quite tasty. visit the pastry shop if you are ever in walla walla, washington.)
what the leaders of the world are saying (and privately saying) is nothing that i haven't believed for about a year now. the dimbulbs will have no choice but to remove him from office peacefully is possible, or by shooting him if he will not cooperate. (i suspect the latter. and, shooting him holds a number of political advantages for them, ... , something biden should consider, if able.)
but, there is something that the rest of the world should be mindful of. and, it has to do with tigers.
some years ago a leader of some country or another took occasion to describe the united states as less than formidable in a geo-political sense, saying that we were "a paper tiger." the implication was that a country could get away with murder as we were afraid to respond, afraid to exercise our power.
that person was brought up a little short, i should imagine, when someone else reminded him, "yes, a paper tiger, but with nuclear teeth." lots of 'em.
those who think biden incapable, and timorous, and confused, and easily pushed (including me), would do well to remember that the silly old bastard walks around with the nuclear codes, assuming he hasn't left them at a computer store somewhere to get "polished up." this doddering fool still exercises legal authority over immense power. enough to turn the major cities of any country in the world into smouldering puddles of ash, embers and bleached bones.
it's a sobering thought. ain't it. he can press the launch button, and there is absolutely nothing in the world anyone can do to stop him. and, he can do it for any reason. whatsoever. think of that, you dipshit trump haters. think of that, you idiots that voted for biden, ignoring everyone who was telling you (including me) that he was non compos mentis. he can have you reduced to your constituent molecules without having the slightest idea why, or how, or even when. blow you into smoke. scatter you to the four winds.
cheers.
