ABOUT HALF the readers of The Truthless Reconciler are russians, so this may get a bit sticky. the united states and russia don't seem to be getting along too well right now. first and foremost, the great american icon madonna gave a concert recently in st petersburg at which she criticized the city of st petersburg, formerly known as leningrad, for banning gay pride day.
then something bizarre happened. Some group in russia, some group of activists, decided to file a ten million dollar lawsuit against madonna for insulting the motherland, or something like that. Fortunately, this happened after madonna had left the country; if madonna had ended up in a russian jail, diplomatic tensions would have been high.
we americans love us some madonna, in fact we love all our sweet lil girlie celebs, and we wouldn't take kindly to madonna being locked up in some foul smelling, stinking, filthy, dreary, putrid, wretched russian jail!
on the surface it seems that the lawsuit is entirely irrelevant; how could a court in russwia possibly extract any sort of penalty, like ten million dollars, from madonna? all she has to do is stay out of russia, da?
but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Russia is, rumor has it, trying to talk viet nam and cuba into allowing russian naval bases on their territory. cuban missile crisis, here we go again? Not, we pray.
the american navy is moving into the asian pacific, and so is the russina navy, and cuba to boot.
will the rusians and the chinese soon join the americans with global military empires of their own?
Chances are that the masses of ordinary people of america, china, and russia do not have any interest in nor desire to pay for thes empires, but they'll have to let their ruling elites know this in no uncertain terms in order to even have a chance to avoid a highly militarized future.
masses of the world unite,and bring peace to this crazy world - since our leaders won't, under any circumstances.
