Zelensky Gets Thoughts And Prayers In Davos
"I'm Jamie Dimon from JPMorgan Chase," said Jamie Dimon, from JPMorgan Chase. "God bless you."
Dimon was introducing himself to comedian-turned front line embodiment Volodymyr Zelensky. The two men were in Davos for this year's edition of elites on parade.
I don't know why they still hold the World Economic Forum. At this point, it's just an excuse for disaffected voters around the world to trade churlish jokes about the rich, who don't do themselves any favors by volunteering for a gathering
“emphasize that Ukraine matters more without coming across as crass”
Well said. It’s exactly that. Palestinians don’t matter in the grand scheme of things (apart from the fact that every life is supposed to be precious but hey that’s a thought for poets and philosophers). Stopping Russia and nipping Great Game bullshit in the bud matters to the whole world…
… especially Europe. I cannot believe we’re letting Orban delay anything by a single day. At some point, if the rules get in the way of your prosperity/survival, rules should be ditched.
“Historically, the aristocracy didn’t get the message until the commoners were in the streets waving pitchforks and torches, “
Isn’t that what the WEF is about? Convincing the pitchfork people that the torch people want to take away their pitchforks,
Undeniably, the last war before now was the idiotic invasion of Iraq in 2003. Then we had the predictable end of a 20 year run in Afghanistan… Now we have IMO a different situation. First Crimea, now Ukraine. In Trump, we have a man who has shame based secrets from a reckless past. People will go to their death under torture to keep shame based secrets. Thus, the visible fear on his face at Helsinki with Putin. He is compromised. Hungary is clearly a major security risk, as may be Serbia…Dictators who are economically incompetent frequently start wars…This is a set of circumstances we have seen before…By the way, unlike Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, the Ukranians really want to fight, and they also show us the folly of having given up their nukes-America is under stress from within and too preoccupied to wake up. If you don’t like the Ugly American, look at Russia and China.
