A fine mess

Well, now that Vladimir Putin has brilliantly <cough!> set back Russian Relations with the West nearly a century, what to do next?

You probably shouldn't get a Nobel Peace Prize first, then set out to bungle foreign policy for 5 years straight, leading to conflicts everywhere that were previously stabilized. You have the Secret Service to fudge your golf scorecard, but horiffic gaffes by The Faithful Teleprompter Stuffing Crew litter YouTube in their enormity. Want another full on war? Just send John Kerry or Hillary to forge A Peace. They are distinguished Peace in Our Time tub thumpers, Resetting in ignorant abandon like a cowboy hedge funder before that one bad trade. Since the Reset, Russia repeated KAL-007 and more. Neville Chamberlain would be thankful someone will take all the heat off him for all eternity after that little Hitler "glitch."

My Boss would like to have a hedge solution, but he says everyone is running for the exits. The only other side of the War trade everywhere used to be the United States, and if they aren't in it any more, any kid with less than a firecracker can touch off major conflict anywhere now. Israel is the last man standing on the counter side and their partners have partied away all the reserves. Who knows what new sort of terror awaits the new fat, soft target rich, and lazy US now until the next 911 lands on their doorstep?

Democrat backed peace initiatives have all led to the greatest wars in history. Wilson, FDR, Truman, Johnson, Carter, Clinton's Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, and now The Red Line. They'll pass the buck on to the next in line no matter what side of the aisle. Past performance may be no guarantee of future results unless hedged, but they have yanked the hedge and it is only a matter of time before it fails with a 99.6 % certainty. Peace sells, but nobody is buying anymore. Sound familiar? Recreating a sure fire recipe for disaster is a sign of insanity, but the doctors have all left the asylum. Prepare for that next Day that will live in infamy. When the only solution is to hedge it, or die, Prepare to die because you went all in on the losing side of the trade, and millions of dissenters be damned. Someone else's problem until then, right?
