Nothing Bad Is Going To Happen

 You only need to watch the first 30 seconds and the last 30 seconds of this.

The guy makes a legitimate point. Several, in fact. Points that should matter to normal people. The journalist overlords from NYT and WaPo shush him. A cop comes over to get him to hand over the microphone.

To take one of his points, someone blew up the property of a nuclear superpower in the form of the Nordstream Pipeline. It was positively not the Russians as they lack both the motive and ability to do so. The journalist overlords have never dug deeply into that. The Russians, if they get cornered the way the warmongers want, could choose to go out with a bang, as it were.

Nukes flying around could spoil a whole lot of summer vacations.

The journalist overlords looked stunned, but had no reply. That was what struck me about the whole exchange.

I've blogged before that, due to the seeming ability to print money at will with no ill effects, our pricing structure is broken. $100B for Ukraine didn't come out of anyone's pockets, it came out of the Fed's printing presses. Dittos for the gazillion dollars we spent on payoffs for pointlessly locking down the economy. 

Money can be spent in any amount with no repercussions. No one in living memory has experienced a real war. Yes, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East have been thoroughly real wars if you were there, but it wasn't total war on the order of Hitler and Hirohito. The journalist overlords have lost touch with that sort of reality.

If you feel certain that nothing bad will ever happen, then the most important thing is to make sure your political side "wins" the next election, whatever form "winning" might take. Some yahoo shouting at you about pipelines, attacks and nukes is more like a drug addict yelling at you on the street than a serious argument you need to refute.

Anywho, that's what hit me about the exchange. The guy was spot on and the journalist overlords couldn't comprehend what he was saying. Or rather, they comprehended it, but it didn't matter.

Nothing bad is going to happen.
