I hope this lesson sticks and affects elections for years to come.
“A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him.
Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he receives a kick in his fan-bottom.
When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.”
—Yuri Bezmenov, KGB Defector
“I hope this lesson sticks”
The lesson that needs to stick over there is that dependence on unfriendly nations for your supply of essentials must be ended. We’ll see what the Western Europeans do.
As an aside, we and them all gobble too much energy. Having said that, I’m not at all worried about CO2 or global warming.
