Report from Tbilisi: Europe's now on the brink of World War ONE

 


Report from Tbilisi: Europe's now on the brink of World War ONE

      I'm here in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, a former (unwilling) member of the defunct USSR -- and I'm lucky enough to be staying at a hotel with a swimming pool.  This is a good thing.  I could use the exercise.  The national dish here involves dumplings -- and who can possibly resist dumplings?  Not me.  So a bit of exercise can't hurt.

     As a result of time spent in the pool here, I keep humming that B.T.S. song, Swim.  And, surprisingly, everyone else here seems to know that song too.  K-Pop is big here in eastern Europe.  Plus I just figured out that B.T.S. probably stands for "Better Than Sex".  Who knew.

      The other day, I attended a lecture by some prominent Georgian think-tank dude.  "Ukraine is winning the war against Russia," he said.  Sadly, he'd better think again.  "And Georgia has sent soldiers to fight there too."  I forget how many Georgian troops he said are there right now but it is a lot.  "Volunteers." 

 
   And of course I wanted to stand up and shout this guy down -- but I didn't.  Nobody at the lecture would have agreed with me.  They all would have thought that I was crazy.  How could Europe, er, Ukra$ne possibly lose this war!  "Russia is weak.  Russia is on the ropes!"  Maybe.  Maybe not.  But Europe is definitely on the ropes even more.

       This whole situation in Europe right now is almost exactly the same as the situation in Europe was right before World War I -- except that instead of everyone fighting over diamonds, gold and chocolate in Africa, everyone is now fighting over Russia's oil.  But how can they think that Russia is not gonna fight back?  Or that Europe is going to have this huge victory over Russia when Russia has oil but Europe does not?  Even drone warfare requires some sort of fuel.  Doesn't it?

     And nobody here seems to be able to tell me where Europe is going to get all those billions and billions and billions of euros that it will take to win this war?  And just think of all the resources and manpower that are being chewed up and spit out by both Europe and Russia -- not to mention all the resources and manpower that America is wasting in the Middle East.  But the military-industrial complex doesn't care.  "War is the ultimate consumer."

      And now Europe is also facing the same threat that Czar Nicholas faced during World War I -- revolution!  Ya think that the Brits, the French, the Germans and even the Georgians are gonna be happy campers when they lose all their stellar social programs so that the Epstein Class can create even more billionaires from war profiteering?  Not.

      It was sooo frustrating to be at this lecture.  Europe and Georgia are currently dancing on the edge of a cliff right now, delusionally dancing their way toward World War ONE.  But no one here will listen to me.  I need to go take another swim.  Or at least a cold shower.  Arrgh.
