Re: On Russia
(
4.00 / 4
)
Back around 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall the cartoonist Tolles, then from Buffalo, NY, produced a two panel cartoon. The first panel showed an areal view to the Pentagon with the caption: "Planners at the Pentagon are working hard on how to bring the Soviet Union down." The next panel showed a quadragon version of the pentagon with the caption: "Planners at the newly downsized quadragon are working hard on how to bring the Soviet Union back!" That captured it better than any pundit I read. There was panic in the M-I Complex when Democrats started asking: "Where is the peace dividend?"
If sanity be culturally normative, then by the norms of this culture I claim insanity.

The US needs an enemy, if only for internal politics (or economics). They would just not allow Russia or Iran to play nice. The propaganda logic does not care that the US spends on military more than the rest of the world combined. At least Oceania was a matching opponent in "1984".
