Sure, we had the Cold War, but it has been over since 1989.   (&#8220;Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.&#8221;)  Well, then there was the debate for the re-election of Osama-Obama.  Well, it appears that <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/02\/22\/politics\/mitt-romney-russia-ukraine\/index.html\">Mick Romney was right about Russia in the debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wowsers.  I started writing this on the 10th of February.  Jeepers, how times have changed.  I was doing editing on a few other posts, and now we in Germany are wondering what will come next.  Sorry, folks, this whole chess game started with the annexation of Crimea.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/when-obama-left-ukraine-defenseless\/\">Osama-Obama let it happen&#8230;oh, and the &#8220;Big Guy&#8221; as well<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shakeyourfist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-10-17.46.31.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"919\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shakeyourfist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-10-17.46.31.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shakeyourfist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-10-17.46.31.jpg 919w, https:\/\/www.shakeyourfist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-10-17.46.31-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.shakeyourfist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-10-17.46.31-768x802.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shakeyourfist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-10-17.46.31-750x783.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doughnut get me started on the Biden Family connections with the Ukraine corruption.  Could it be that all the files on Hunter Biden&#8217;s Laptop that were ignored have now led to a w<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2022\/02\/wayne-root-shocking-reason-putin-invading-ukraine\/\">orld crisis<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I look at this, it looks like a chess game that the USA is losing.  Russia and China Stockpili<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/watch-out-america-china-and-russia-are-stockpiling-gold-2019-07-29\" target=\"_blank\">ng Gold<\/a>, China doing the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2015\/07\/what-is-chinas-role-in-the-brics\/\" target=\"_blank\">BRIC&#8217;s thing<\/a>-that would be the divesting of the &#8220;reserve currency-The US Dollar.&#8221;  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.agriculture.com\/news\/business\/doud-china-is-stockpiling-world-s-grain-supplies\" target=\"_blank\">China stockpiling grain<\/a>.  Well folks, this ain&#8217;t looking good.  Due to a couple of bad harvests in the USA, and on top of the fact that most of Europe is dependent on imports of Russian grain, this could really be a horror&#8230; Oh, and then the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/international\/explained-how-dependent-is-europe-on-russia-for-its-energy-needs\/article65064946.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dependence on Russia gas and oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crikey, I digress.  So&#8230; The German  news has followed the narrative of the MSM (main stream media). Trump is the bad guy.   Well, this whole pot of stirring shite a result of NATO.  Trump said that<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/314432-trump-nato-is-obsolete\" target=\"_blank\"> NATO is obsolete<\/a>.  He is the villain.  Well, actually no.  He demanded that they pay their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/donald-trump-demands-other-nato-members-pay-their-fair-share\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fair share<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be clear, I as an American in Germany, was completely embarrassed to have Donald Trump as the President of my America.  I did not vote for him in the first round, I wrote-in Papa Kriebs.  I sent in my mail-in vote for him for the re-election, but either it was not counted or my vote was tallied wrongly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So then, to be clear.  I am appalled with the history of Donald Trump.  He is morally bankrupt, a rich, privileged bugger that has <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/articles\/2016\/01\/trump_screws_everyone_but_himself.html\" target=\"_blank\">screwed lots of little folks<\/a> (as well as made himself rich in the process).  So to be direct, I am no fan of Donald Trump as a person, father or anything else.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, I am not convinced that what is going on would happen if he was President.  For all his faults, his egotism, in retrospect, it appears that he really had the interests o<a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/trump-administration-accomplishments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">f America as a priority<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now we are in this mess.  Sorry to say, Taiwan is the next to fall.  Look at the state of the <a href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/category\/commentary\/\">US military.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, and my work collogue asked if this was a distraction.  It appears that every-day-life is a gem of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2022\/02\/world-focuses-ukraine-globalists-like-world-economic-forums-klaus-schwab-charge-ahead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three card Monte. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The saying in German is &#8220;die Kacke ist am D\u00e4mpfen&#8221; (The shit is cooking).
