Let's take our European grand tour now -- while we still can
Being friends with America is sometimes a lot of hard work. For
instance, Saddam Hussein used to be America's BFF and just look what
happened to him. America also "friended" all those Jihadi freaks and
warlords in Afghanistan -- and Afghans are still paying the price.
Kissinger befriended a dictator in Chile but torches and pitchforks
eventually nailed Pinochet. Johnson befriended a dictator in Vietnam
and we all know what happened to Diem. Reagan befriended Noriega in
Panama -- and then turned on him too. Obama befriended Al Qaeda
"rebels" in Syria and Libya and also those gross neo-Nazis in Ukraine --
and now even though Trump also tweets in their favor, bin Ladin's next
generation is still violently hated by Syrians, Libyans and Ukrainians. Various American presidents have also befriended
Haiti, Yemen, Honduras and Palestine -- and with friends like that, who needs
enemies.
And now America is trying really hard to upgrade the European Union to
its "close friend" status too. If I was Europe right now, I'd run like
hell! And if I was the average American tourist right now, I'd be
taking the traditional European grand tour ASAP. Go see Buckingham
Palace, the Eiffel Tower, the Acropolis and the Colosseum -- while you
still can.
According to journalist Rostislav Ishchenko,
America now has plans to thwart China's big move to establish a New Silk
Road trade route from China to Europe. But how, exactly, does America
plan to hijack China's new trade route? Apparently by eliminating Europe as an effective trade partner at the end of the Silk Road. https://thesaker.is/europe-as-the-main-front-of-the-hybrid-war/
America's recent attempts at "The chaosization of Europe" would just about do that, right?
For instance, all of America's brutal unjust neo-colonial "wars"
on the Middle East have sent millions of refugees out on various
involuntary road trips. "Crap! America just bombed my home, murdered
my wife and daughter and slaughtered my camel!" cry America's victims.
"What the freak should I do now!" Go to Germany of course. Or Sweden.
Or Britain. Or Italy. Anywhere but Baghdad or Benghazi.
Then there was the recent destabilization of Eastern Europe after America armed
almost anyone there who could shoot straight -- and also lots of folks who clearly
could not.
Next came Trump's policy of getting Europe to pay for NATO. "Gotta buy
guns! Gotta buy guns!" shout the Europeans. "No money left over to
run to the dollar store!"
But why should all this geopolitical weirdness on the other side of the
globe of concern to you and me too? We live safely on the other
side of the Atlantic, right? But it's like I said. If you wanna float
down the Danube to waltz tunes, lie on a beach in sunny Spain or see
Stonehenge by moonlight, you had better do it now -- before America gets
any more friendly with Europe than it already is.

PS: Why does China have
so many more friends on FaceBook than America has? Two reasons. First,
when China sends out a "Friend" request to other nations, it offers that recipient nation
definite rewards and perks. However, when America sends out a "Friend" request to other
nations, it's usually in the form of a missile attack or brutal
economic sanctions or the CIA tampering with local elections.
Second, China also has a ten-year plan, a fifty-year plan and a
hundred-year plan. Americans are lucky if our military-industrial
complex looks ahead for even a week or two.
PPS: America seems to be totally out of touch when it comes to "friending" its women as well. It's not like we are living in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan -- and yet our president, judges and old-fart legislators treat us like we should either be locked up in purdah or act like glorified blow-up dolls.

Have you been watching "13 Reasons Why" on Netflix? We will never know
what made the difference between Dr. Ford's and Hannah Baker's (fictionalized but nevertheless highly plausible) responses after both had been badly bullied -- but fortunately Dr. Ford
did not allow herself to become just one more suicide statistic too. https://jpstillwater.blogspot.com/2018/09/one-word-describes-brett-kavanaugh.html
