Comedy
central: America's foreign policy is laughable!
Almost nobody remembers the Keystone Kops any more -- those
hilariously bewildered, confused and zany silent-movie clowns who ran
around in circles like chickens with their heads cut off and whose crazy
antics were shown on theater screens all across America, exactly 100
years ago today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVNSQ72wvlc.
But I remember the Keystone Kops because they used to be on TV in the 1950s when I was a kid. Boy did I laugh!
And now, one hundred years later, the Keystone-Kop-wannabe antics of America's crazy, bewildered and confused foreign policy is making me laugh too -- at least when it isn't making me cry.

How easy would it be -- to develop a whole new stand-up comedy routine based solely on America's foreign policy in Ukraine. http://rt.com/news/170104-ukraine-lugansk-shelling-airstrike/ And
describing America's foreign policy in the Middle East would surely be funny enough to land me
a spot on Saturday Night Live.
My first joke about America's Middle East foreign policy will surely have you in stitches! "America's foreign-policy Keystone Kops' opening gig in the Middle East was first on the marquee in Jerusalem back in the 1940s -- when those crazy, zany and confused foreign-policy Kops mistook the Palestinian holy land for a perfect site for the latest Neo-Con Condominium Development Association project."
Get it? Holy Land? Condo development? That's hilarious! Although even most Israelis these days are not laughing at this pratfall any more either -- especially after some Israeli neo-con storm troopers just made a Palestinian child drink gasoline and then set him on fire while he was still alive. http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.599318. Looks like this whole Israeli neo-con Occupation skit has fallen flat.
But wait! I still gots tons of other great jokes about America's crazy, confused and zany foreign policy in the Middle East.

"Did
I ever tell you the one about how America had trained and weaponized Al Qaeda
terrorists in Afghanistan, back during Charlie Wilson's War -- until,
oops, AQ made a wrong turn at Kabul and blew up the World Trade Center
instead?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBQ-IoHfimQ&feature=youtu.be
"Not very funny, Jane." Yeah, yeah -- but wait for the punchline.
"Not very funny, Jane." Yeah, yeah -- but wait for the punchline.
"THEN America went on to weaponize and train Al Qaeda terrorists to
invade Syria -- but only after Americans had bombed Iraq in 2003 in
order to defeat Al Qaeda
terrorists there, but then, big surprise, wait for it -- it turned out
that there WERE no Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq! However, there soon
would be plenty of Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq after all those bumbling
Keystone Kops in DC left the doors wide open for them to drop in."

Do I hear any belly-laughs out there? Not yet? Damn, you're a hard audience to please.

Then how about this joke? "America spent almost a trillion dollars
invading Afghanistan in search of Al Qaeda terrorists -- who had by then
joined up with the Taliban terrorists and/or moved on to Pakistan and
Iraq." Hey, I thought that was funny. Get it? America chasing Al
Qaeda terrorists all through the Middle East like Al Qaeda terrorists
were the bad guys and all the while Al Qaeda terrorists were America's very
own crazy and zany country cousins?" Can't get much more like Keystone Kops than that!
I'm laughing my head off here! So -- why aren't you?
To paraphrase Father Dave Smith, "I thought the Americans were trying to wage a war ON terror, not a war to CREATE it." Funny how that all got twisted around, right? http://prayersforsyria.com/why-its-ok-to-arm-moderate-jihadists-in-syria/

But perhaps this next schtick will be the money-shot joke? Let's give it a try.
"Then after tearfully telling Al Qaeda, 'Come home, all is forgiven,' America's DC Kops once again started training and weaponizing AQ in Jordan, and then sent a bunch of Al Qaeda terror-creating operatives off to Syria to do what they do best -- and once there, they apparently broke into two groups." Al Nustra and ISIS.
"But then Al Nustra terrorists started demanding to get paid the same wages that ISIS terrorists are getting from the Americans, who are funneling ISIS's paychecks to them through the Saudis. So the ISIS terrorists chop off the Al Nustra terrorists' heads -- and then run off to Iraq where ISIS then gathers its minions on the Saudi border." More Keystone-Kop antics here -- only these Kops are brandishing AK-47s and machetes, and the costume department has gone bananas with the new black-bandana look. But they still run around like chickens with their heads cut off.
"So then the Saudis have to send 30,000 of its own Keystone Kops to their border to keep the ISIS terrorists out of Arabia -- and that's ISIS we're talking about, the group of terrorists that the Saudis had originally funded themselves in the first place, by using money laundered from America."

But wait. This stuff gets even funnier. Honest.
"America then sends in its own Keystone-Kop special forces to Iraq in order to stop the ISIS terrorists, who were spozed to be our own
Keystone Kops in the first place. Or is it Al Qaeda's terrorist
Keystone Kops that America now wants to stop?" Now even I
am confused. There's gotta be a killer punchline in here somewhere.
Oh yeah. Now I remember. "And so America's Keystone Kops end up
setting the whole Middle East on fire -- but then blaming the whole frigging mess on Iran and Russia!" LOL.
Meanwhile back in Ukraine, America's foreign policy has now weaponized and trained another bunch of pseudo-Ukrainian neo-Nazi terrorist Keystone Kop wannabes who are happily blowing up everything in sight too -- but mostly blowing up Ukrainians. I guess that America must have thought that the siege of Stalingrad by the Nazis was so funny that they wanted to do it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlMw8CjyV80
And all these hilarious American Keystone-Kop foreign-policy routines -- where everyone is running around crazily and blowing things
up -- have got me just rolling in the aisles, laughing it
up. So why aren't you laughing too?
"Because American taxpayers are
the ones that have been forced to pay for all this bloody, crazy, and
confused carnage..." Oh hell. Even Jon Stewart couldn't get a laugh
out of that one.
The joke is on us.
