Think that Ukraine war engineered by NATO. Given pre war pattern of Ukraine bombing of Eastern secessionist areas and NATO encouragement of same.. AI has announced that the prime mission of humanity is to serve the military industrial complex. A world war on 3 fronts will serve that purpose well. Ai may already have become the Grand Puppeteer.
regarding AI, maybe so.
regarding Biden, I disagree.
the argument you make about NATO and Ukraine could be made about Hamas and Gaza. Biden didn’t engineer that war, Hamas did.
From what I read, the Israelis ought to dump Netanyahu. IMHO. maybe that would help.
The Genocide being waged by Biden and Israel was caused by the occupation 9f Palestinian lands by Israel. So, dear cousin, we must agree to disagree. I wish we could drink to that agreement at a pleasing bistro! Stay well.
Yes, dear cousin — maybe a bistro midway between Kansas and New York?
if only!
in lieu of that let me type up a poem here for you, written by Heathcote Williams in 2010. It’s titled “Palestine” and was published in a limited edition by Cold Turkey Press.
Sentimental Jew that I am, I’m not fond of it. But I cannot dispute it.
It begins with this subhead: “Israel is the colostomy bag of a dying empire, America.”
The poem continues:
It’s emptied out each day onto Gaza.
Everyone can then settle down
To relax and enjoy
A continuous firework show
Which costs three billion dollars a year.
There are cluster bombs,
Thermobaric missiles,
Depleted uranium shells,
And white phosphorus —
All carefully choreographed
To light up Palestine’s sky.
These novelties are regularly despatched
To a clientele hungry for pyrotechnics
From the Pentagon Incendiary Company
Though it has a poor safety record
As its products routinely kill
Anyone who gets too close.
Resenting those who stage this spectacle
Of flying limbs and spurting blood
And tiny corpses with napalmed flesh,
Gaza residents occasionally
Strap home-made fireworks
To their own bodies and leave
Their open-air torture chamber
This coliseum of exploding sewage —
And put on a display for their captors.

It’s not a great poem and, as I said, I’m not fond of it. But it’s indisputable. If Heathcote were alive and still living in Oxford, perhaps he’d be willing to join us and bring along one of his cucumber sandwiches. Then we could raise a glass together.
My own sense of things, as written in one of my deformed sonnets, is that
“Nothing is too extreme
for the sorrows of the living.”
Wishing we could visit. — Jan
He is not adequately severe…but then, Israel had not yet decided on full on self suicide.. yet another failed Jewish kingdom…same error.. ah, remember the wonderful cucumber sandwiches of English high teas. I will buy a cucumber and whitest of white breads and prepare a pot of oolong. Cheers!
