60. I don't think so. That's Cold War thinking imho. 'Murica will just be brutal and blatant

Oct 2024

about it.
Smaller countries have needed to put on a sham display of “fair play “ because they know they might have to come begging the USA for help at some point.

‘Murica won’t be asking anyone else for help ever.

Our laws will just spring from random bursts of hatred and revenge out of the mouth of a lunatic, with the death penalty on all of them because anything else is just too annoying to deal with.

Writing a sentence like the one I just did will get me killed.

And news of these things will NEVER be reported in print or TV. There will just be quiet trembling whispers of rumors about neighbors who haven’t been seen for a while.

Forgive my clairvoyance, oops, sorry, I mean my rambling. 🤕
