What's the Issue?

What's the Issue?

The fact checkers swooped in and deleted my post berating various imbeciles on the perils of viewing their opinions on Putin and the Ukrainian crisis. I was merely suggesting that they dig a little deeper, get past those mainstream catch phrases that are being regurgitated on every captured media outlet. Phrases like "Putin's unprovoked attack on Ukraine," and "Putin's war on Ukraine," anyway, it was a bad practice that was just exposing their total ignorance of a what is a complex problem and their spewing the baseless narrative was not helping their public image, rather hindering it actually.

However, as ideas go the mastermind Nathi Mthetwa's massive flagpole just goes to show how totally out of touch our leadership is. It earned Nathi the title of Moegoe of the Week from Sundayworld. I think it's bigger than that.

The energy crisis that the Ukrainian conflict started in Europe is mirrored in our energy crisis with rolling blackouts and petrol prices soaring through the clouds. Eskom is wobbling and struggling to stand up to its current challenges, all the while we need to build a whole bunch more power stations but with Medupi embarrassing us so bad, maybe we not interested in trying again. In 2021 this was posted somewhere "The meltdown at Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., which supplies more than 90% of the nation's electricity, is a legacy of chronic mismanagement and rampant corruption during former President Jacob Zuma's tenure along with a failure to adequately maintain plants and invest in new ones." Invest in new ones. The writing is on the wall if we don't start reading headlines about "New Power Station Planned " et cetera. But hey, don't listen to me ...

Anyway winter is upon us and food security is upon us and our economy is under attack and torrential rains are producing devastating floods and our idiot leadership just spent billions on new Navy strike craft and then idiots like sleepy Joe Biden go and say$#!% like if China attacks Taiwan then America will respond militarily. "We agree with a One China policy. We've signed on to it and all the intended agreements were made from there. But the idea that, that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not, is just not appropriate." Stuttered Joe.

Gees to think the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet just can't get his shit together and is going around the planet instigating military action everywhere ... and they say Trump was bad?

Anyhow, the Queen is suffering poor health and like us also suffering poor leadership in her government. I mean Bojo the clown seems more intent on lathering on the alcohol than seeking peace and stability in Europe, careering towards nuclear war, alcoholic beverage in hand, the people be damned.

And while Amber Heard displays her turd and Elon Musk takes over the world and climate change wreaks havoc on our lives we must continue to seek out leaders who will look out for us. Just saying.
