In case you are weary of fretting over Jolie’s ovaries…….I offer some REAL news and thoughts……..

At present we are fighting a shadowy group called ISIS……the news is all about that conflict but a short plane ride away there is a major conflict that could become much larger….I am speaking about Ukraine.

If you happen to an old fart like me then you can remember the Cold War and the theory of Domino……..it was pushed hard by the West as a counter to communism.  I case you have not made it to that page in your world history text….I can help……..The domino theory, which governed much of U.S. foreign policy beginning in the early 1950s, held that a communist victory in one nation would quickly lead to a chain reaction of communist takeovers in neighboring states. In Southeast Asia, the United States government used the domino theory to justify its support of a non-communist regime in South Vietnam against the communist government of North Vietnam, and ultimately its increasing involvement in the long-running Vietnam War (1954-75).

The problem was that the theory was used to support the M-IC and turned out to be flawed in so many way……the dominoes did not fall as predicted.

Ukraine is being used as the “example” of the reach of Russia and the fear is that if they are successful then other former satellite states will be vulnerable……Newsweek dedicated a feature on this……

Personally, it is wishful thinking that Russia can pull this off…..it seems, at least to me, that it is a tactic being used by the M-IC to sell more ordinance to the surrounding states….keep in mind that WAR is big business.
