Memorial Day: Living Courage, Dying For Honor: Celebrating Vietnam War USMC GSGT Charles "Chuck" Perkins

From Denny:  Today is more than just that long needed holiday vacation with the family, fun backyard barbecues and country music festivals.  It's one of those few days of the year that Americans come together to remember the fallen in our too many wars over the past few centuries of our young country.  

Some of those wars were justified for the greater good to bring back world peace.  Other wars spilled precious blood for nothing more than the Pentagon leaders' selfish need for personal glory and the just plain money-grubbing greed of business people:  otherwise known as war profiteers.  

Profiteers and War and Bad Politics

FYI, for those who don't remember or don't know:  The Vietnam War was a proxy war between the U. S. and Russia.  Russia backed North Vietnam and the U. S. backed South Vietnam.

"Feeding the Beast" of Russia with American Money

Profiteers are still with us today, not just the Vietnam War era.  Take a look at how our current day Pentagon is busy "feeding the military beast" of Russia.  The latest nonsense is giving away half a billion dollars to the Russians in exchange for Russian rocket engines that you know Putin will sabotage.  Come on, really?  Putin is supposed to be under sanctions, and, yet, our Pentagon and Congress find a way to feed his ailing economy another $500 million???  The sanctions won't work as long as the Pentagon, Congress and Wall Street cockroach around them...

From Denny:  Everyone who is fed up with the Middle East Sunni-Shia 1400 Year Idiot Religious War raise their hands.  What?  The whole world is disgusted with Iran's current Proxy Wars, spreading terrorism across the globe, destabilizing the Middle East?  Imagine that.  How about "Imagine Peace" for a change.  

Well, this initial framework for a nuclear agreement among the U. S., Germany and other countries with Iran goes a long way toward creating a peaceful relationship for the global neighborhood.  As it is, if Iran decides to back up on any part of the agreement, their Sunni nation neighbors will also be procuring nukes to balance Iran's aggressiveness...

Russia and Iran Attacking U. S., 60 Years Later Russian Missiles Based In Cuba, Latin America

From Denny:  Is it any wonder the world is mobilizing their collective military to take down Russia, and, now their partner in crime, Iran?

At first the West was content with just limited economic sanctions but Idiot Putin and Iran think they can double down on their retaliation and now attack America directly with their long range missiles they are positioning in Latin American bases.  They have been planning this multi-level attack for years.  I say just "Fuck 'em and feed 'em to the fish."  This never was about Crimea and Ukraine in the first place.

Insane Putin is back to settle the old score with America in a re-do 60 years later before most of us and him were even born.  What a moron.  He thinks this time Russia will not back down like Russian history erroneously believes Khruschev did with President Kennedy.  Actually, Khrushchev did not back down.  What Khruschev got was the U. S. missiles removed from Russia's back yard in Turkey as an exchange.  Khruschev and Kennedy came to an agreement.  Khruschev removed his missiles from the U. S.'s back yard in Cuba.  The U. S. removed their missiles from Russia's back yard in Turkey.  No one lost; they both won.

Guess all those American retirees in the area of the Nicaraguan base had better return to the U. S. because this is going to be a very messy war with a rapidly imploding Russia and Iran.  Canadian and European business investors had better get out of the area of the Cuban base immediately too...
