Insufferable

I don't think we can trust the Russians to do our bidding. The Russians are like a rusty old knife - impossible to cut anything without mangling it. If anything, China is the sharper tool in the drawer. We, remain the only ones with some inkling of reality. We are the last hope of having it be right for at least some of us.

Unfortunately, we're in the midst of a class struggle. It's been called other things, but it's basically about class. The elites have grown too big for their britches and have become insufferable to the rest of us. They got the shock of their lives when they discovered that not everybody thinks they're so great. Before we solve that particular problem among ourselves, international intrigue remains off limits for us. We may even have to leave Haiti and Israel go.

I doubt if the next couple of elections will solve much of anything. What it will do is separate us according to where we are willing to take a stand. Then comes the battle. The losers won’t want to throw in the towel - and it'll go on like that for a while. Who knows how it'll end up? All I know is that the rift has grown too deep. It can't possibly come together in my lifetime.
