Useful idiots

Thomas Sowell
May 20, 2003

Thomas Sowell

"The term 'useful idiots' has been attributed to Lenin, as a description of those mindless people in the Western democracies who would always find ways to excuse whatever the Soviet Union did. Columnist Mona Charen's new book Useful Idiots shows that such people are still with us.

Long after the Soviet Union's horrors had become too widely known around the world for their sympathizers in the West to be able to get away with whitewashing the USSR, new Communist dictatorships arose to become the new objects of the affections of the Western intelligentsia and of like-minded people in the media and in politics. ..."

Trump: Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so, you know. There's a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, Joe. Lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity, and that's the way it is.

Here's Trump giving his support to the traitor-in-chief on his worldwide apology tour...

TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (April 15, 2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."

There are those that just can’t grasp the fact that history moves on and the old static concepts are fallacious. Russia is not an enemy that is nearly so terrible as Barack Obama. Barack Obama et al are far worse than any competitor enemy that can be named

Putin may be a world enemy but lacks the where with all to be a problem. Russia is not the Soviet Union of 1960.

Mother russia is sick, probably dying. Putin’s task is to rehabilitate mother Russia and get her on her feet again. The primary medicine for the sick economy absent oil, is weapons. The only thing Mother Russia produces that is worth a damn is weapons. All his recent efforts are not sabre rattling but rather advertising. His foray into syria is in large measure to advertise his wares. The General from Paraguay or Congo is in syria to see the pitch close up

all this talk of useful idiots is to make a worthless point. Nothing done here or in most of the rest of the world is going to cure Mother Russia of her terminal maladies
