Down The Primrose Path

At Bad Cattitude;

maybe 6 months ago, the bad kitty told me “the US state department would lose to a drunk chicken at tic tac toe.”

so, i told him that that probably wasn’t very nice and that i’m sure they have smart people and stuff!

then he said “wait and see, poquitos gatito, wait and see…

  1. Ownership is turning into a thorn that this experimental Banking system with no leadership but a group of illiterate degenerates is running.
    Group enforcement to stupidity policies is now running amuck by our politicians who is designed to generate the maximum Chaos rather than fix anything that they have made mistakes in.
    Enforce the mistaken path than actually reassess and change direction on this failure.
    WE’RE FALLING AND CAN’T GET UP!

    1. I guess you missed the long game in play is by CHINA…
      Strategic ownership of even politicians has allowed Chaos to be implemented as the US Dollar Currency Exchange becomes toast. The United States Federal Reserve states a new digital dollar is coming in February 2023.
      Europe just gotten themselves caught in a trap of their own design of politicians running everything.

      1. I guess you missed my point… ENTIRELY.

        How can you possibly assume “I guess you missed the long game in play is by CHINA…” from a single sentence about Donald Trump NOT colluding with Russia?

        1. That CNN/CBC Propaganda Coolaid was that good eh?
          Not a single day goes by that the Mainstream Media/government paid sponsors hasn’t said Russia is to blame on everything even when the United States is superior in certain areas than others…such as spy information collection and blowing up bad guys from long distances.

          Military Bases…who owns them and how many worldwide?
          And Russia is the Military problem?

          1. You ‘hurt my feelings’…
            I’ll sue!
            Swear to God, I’ll sue you!

  2. “Pocito” is a few …
    “Pequenos” is small and plural i.e tiny
    Pequenos gatitos — tiny kitty

    1. Pocito refers to amount as in “little knowledge”.
      Pequenos refers to size as in “little kitties”.
      Pocitos gatito actually means “small minded reader who knows no Spanish and so meows like a kitten”. I googled it.

      1. Poco is a bit, a small amount
        Un poco, a bit

        Poquito is like a colloquialism, a smidge, a dash, not as direct/confident as poco.

        pequeño is little, As in size, small in stature, like a child.

        Pocito is a small well, like a little reservoir, of water, or money..

        Using ‘ito’ at the end, makes a diminutive, like a miniature:
        Burrito, a small burro (donkey)
        Perrito, a tiny dog, like a Chihuahua
        Gatito a tiny cat/kitten

        There are many subtleties to the Spanish language, Spanish/Latino people can tell when you speak it, weather you just know it or you actually understand it..

          1. Dan: Haha, yes, you got me, mea culpa! I ran out of edit time, before I realized!

            Steve: Be polite to your host, then consider, food, or transportation?

        1. So when I order a burrito and they bring me a small donkey – what do I do?

  3. Western Democracies should unite together to rebuild the Russian economy. Then, and only then, will the Russian economy collapse.

    1. LOL! Or as the Babylon Bee put it “People Who Wrecked World’s Economy Gather In Davos To Discuss How To Fix World’s Economy”.

  4. We are surrounded by incompetents all of them having a Masters of Business Administration and educated into the Global Elite patterns required by Goldman Sax and the WEF. With all the experts duped by criminal schemes we should play the ponies on our own. How are the Bitcoin bullshit artists doing these days ? Fools and knaves everywhere you look. Who could ask for any thing more ?

    1. Worse, it’s a combination of incompetence and corruption. The western world is being plundered and wrecked by the most rapacious band of cutthroat ignoramuses the world has ever had the unfortunate luck to experience.

      1. I don’t know about that.
        The Romans were pretty good at raping the World.
        Maybe our lads read some history and are just following suit.

  5. Reagan had an economic and foreign policy designed to defeat the Soviet Union.
    The strategies (if any) of the current administration are exactly what you would do if you wanted to prop up and strengthen Russia.

  6. I’ve been reading a little history, and I’ve become convinced that State Department officials shouldn’t be allowed to have anything to do with affairs of state. They are peopled with bloodless, ambitious, duplicitous, inimical, conniving, contemptible political animals, who routinely blow agents, leak secrets, betray friendly nations, and incite discord and revolution. They will blandly and indifferently promote conflicts that lead to the future deaths of thousands abroad, in the hope of realizing even a scrap of present political advantage for themselves.

    The US state department is at least equally culpable for the war in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin, and should be called to account for what they have done. They promoted the insurgencies that lead to the collapse of the previous government in Ukraine, and to the suppression of the Russian ethnic minorities in Donbas. They publicly crowed about bringing Ukraine into NATO, even though America had promised that no former Soviet satellite states would be considered for membership – confronting Russia with the very real possibility of NATO airbases and a nuclear-armed Ukraine on their border. They did everything in their power to encourage the government of Ukraine to fight a war they can not win. They have destabilized that region as thoroughly as they destabilized Egypt, Libya, and other parts of the middle east a few years ago.

    Historically, this not a new phenomenon. The Americans aren’t uniquely guilty of this. The British Foreign Office was full of these contemptible creatures back during the Napoleonic wars. The French and the Russians played this game as well – just look at their actions in Afghanistan and the Pashtun regions of what was formerly India. Sadly, the sort of men who seek these positions rarely suffer any consequences for the misery they inflict on others.

    1. ”The US state department is at least equally culpable for the war in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin.”

      That’s like saying “the Soviet Union is equally culpable for the Cuban missile crisis.” Now imagine that same scenario unfolding over an entire decade and the US finally taking action after that time. Kennedy threatened thermonuclear war. And we dare to chafe when Putin does the same? Who has been playing with fire? WEF Globohomo and the NeoCon warmongers, that’s who.

      1. “Bang on Chris.”

        Agreed. Everything he said was well considered and 100% accurate.

        I would only add this: follow the money. These people (who are not the least bit stupid) do this for the most common of reasons.

  7. How IS Russia surviving without MacDonalds … ??? Come back Golden Arches … all is forgiven

  8. Kenji, good of you to point out (sarcastically) that the Russians are really losing when it looks like they are winning.

    “it’s also a symptom of distress, with a plunge in imports sowing disruption throughout the economy.” –Scott Johnson, Russia economist
    Unfortunately, Johnson seems to take himself seriously.

    Yes, the Germans and Americans are doing so much better now that they don’t have to sell stuff to the Russians.

    1. Our politicians will be ordering us to buy crappy Electric Vehicles hoping that technologies will advance before their laws kick in.
      Need technology to plug into a tree!
      We certainly have plenty of those nasty air polluting when lit and bug infested when not harvested things around.

      1. It was Jan. 2009 when the seas stopped rising … and Obama promised a BOLD NEW WORLD … where the laws of physics would crumble and an avalanche of NEW Technologies would turn us all GREEN. And those technologies would be FREE !! Yeayyyy !!! Finally … our vehicles would run on water … now that the EVIL oil companies who had “blocked” “hidden” and “bought-out” the water-propulsion engine in order to PROFIT on our addiction to oil … would be forced to unleash this GREAT technology.

        No … seriously … this is EXACTLY what the mental midgets who voted for Obama actually believed. And now we’re paying $6.50/gal. for gasoline in CA … and told we MUST buy a horribly inefficient electric vehicle. And no … the battery technology hasn’t improved in any appreciable way. So here we are halfway through 2022 … 13 + years post-Obamapocalypse … and all those PROMISED new “dreamy” technologies are nowhere in sight?

        What’s that they say about over-promising and under-delivering?

    2. OTOH … every multi-national corporation on the planet has sold their soul … to penetrate the ChiCom marketplace. They all need a massive penetration … up their … ah … bottom line.

  9. This isn’t real because blah blah blah liquidity blah blah blah rubles blah blah blah international banks blah blah blah oil markets blah blah blah…

    -The Usual Suspects.

  10. Let us remember that John Kerry and Hillary Clinton were both former Secretaries of State and nobody would call them crooks and liars and dissemblers, would they?

  11. Sanctions on Russia are making it richer?

    That did not happen while Trump was in charge!

    only a Democrat could create such an absurd failure.

  12. Biden has a 50 year track record of consistently being completely wrong on foreign policy. And what’s he up to now? He’s emulating the European energy disaster by attempting to make the US dependent on enemy nations like Venezuela for energy. He is one total and complete moron.
