The Wages of Stupidity

That would be: Humiliation and Death, in that order.  Let’s not be naive, America.  We will get both those things, in our turn, as the direct result of our stupidity in bringing our current leadership to power.  Right now, Europe and Syria are experiencing most of the death, but our fate has already been sealed.

Today marked a huge step forward in that direction.  We already have enough ISIS sympathizers who hate America within the borders of our country to guarantee that more of our buildings will fall and more blood will be spilt on our soil by “Allahu Akbar”-shouting retards.  We are already in a de facto war with China – one made worse every day as our President sends B-52s (of all things, the planes that deliver nuclear ordnance) over China’s man-made islands for some inscrutable reason or no reason at all.  We will soon find ourselves in a not-so-cold war with Russia because of our insane actions in the Middle East.  Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge points out why today’s events are much more than a conflict between Moscow and Ankara:

So just to be clear on what’s happened here in case the gravity of the situation is somehow lost on anyone, a NATO member from whose airbase the US is flying combat missions, just shot down a Russian fighter jet and the US-backed, al-Qaeda aligned FSA has released not one, but two videos depicting their fighters dancing over the body of a dead Russian pilot while shouting “Allahu Akbar” and holding up the “we’re number one” hand signal.

But that’s not all.  Mere hours from when these disgusting videos were released by our “allies” and probably viewed repeatedly by Putin until he could shoot blood out of his eyes, Syrian rebels shot down a Russian helicopter using a US-made missile that we gave them.

Meanwhile the man who has got us into this mess is crowing about going forward with a climate change summit in Paris, as if that will save the world.  He should probably pay some attention to those who are calling today a Sarajevo Moment of the Next World War.  We have more to fear now than just pegging the absurdity meter in our national dialogue.  We have wages to collect, Brothers and Sisters.  Not because we’re evil.  We’re not.  It’s because we’re stupid.
