And Korea.....don’t forget Korea!
In 1950, equally vapid Sec of State for Truman, Dean Acheson stood in front of the entire DC press corps at the Press Club and gave his infamous “Perimeter Speech”. In it he outlined what the US geographic interests were.....and “accidentally” left our Korea. 6 Months later, the Nork’s, encouraged on by both Czar Stalin and Emperor Mao invaded the South and the rest can be seen in the MASH reruns with Alan Alda.
Pattern looks pretty obvious now?
The stupid, the weak, the naive, and boy kings and other newbies will always get manhandled, b!tch slapped, and laughed at by the old dawgs of diplomatic realpolitik.
Hey, ya know...Putin has ABSOLUTELY no more territorial claims in Europe. Honest. None. Zippo. Zilch.
Until the tanks are gassed up again. And we of course are defended by Commander Zero and slavering attack basset hound called John.
Certainly a dire duo of disaster that deserves disrespect.
But what the hell do I know.
