About Haiti:

Once more, in the US our own would-be world overlords are pushing for a military campaign of occupation in a foreign nation in response to a (perhaps) sympathetic but useless person asking for it and or to the wrong government, or for any pointless reason for such an endevour.

This nation has both arms soaked in innocent blood up to the elbows in South and Central America, where it has, in two occasions at least, deposed legitimate democratic governments and installed horrible tyrannies in their place. And those pushing for a military intervention, and unfortunately for the inevitable and numerous future innocent victims, may be now in a position to get what they want, once more.

About Russia, the Ukraine and the disarray in the Democratic Party:

To both talk to all relevant parties and fight, or assist militarily a de facto allied power at the same time should be something that those in responsible government positions should be able to do, much as they are supposed to be able to walk and chew gum, to pat their heads and rub their bellies, and perform other operations that require a minimum of multitasking ability.

That does not seem the case at the moment among Democrats, particularly on behalf of wolves-in-sheep-skins self-described as "moderates" that have a definite inclination to call those they don't like as being "extreme-left", "deranged leftists", etc.

As Kurt Vonnegut was fond of writing at the end of certain dispiriting passages, usually about war and other forms of human meanness, in his novels: "And so it goes."
