In the sailing ship days it was very bad Karma to kill an albatross, because those are the birds most associated with land nearby and very often, those aboard a sailing ship were in dire need of making a landing to resupply them with fresh water and food. If they saw an albatross flying, they knew land was near, so they steered a course to follow it.
So if some hapless sailor did kill one of these sacred birds, whether by accident or on purpose didn’t matter, a line was tied to it’s feet and looped around the sailor’s neck, and there it stayed until it rotted off, as a lesson to all to never harm those birds.
Pres. Donald Trump has a rotting albatross hanging from his neck, it’s name is Jeffrey Epstein and I would not be surprised now to learn he had some hand in Epstein’s death.
It’s a thoroughly documented fact that Trump was a serious pussy hound, and also that he was a big friend of Epsteins, and the accusation that he had sex with some of those minor girls just won’t go away. The murder of Charles Kirk has distracted media attention from him on this subject but as the furor over Kirk’s killing fades, the stench of that albatross is still fouling the air.
So what is Trump to do, to get people to forget about him and Epstein? Well, how about a WAR? Yes, I’m still stuck on that subject, see my previous post if you haven’t already read it. Now Trump is threatening Afghanistan over that abandoned Bagram Air Base, saying today that “If they don’t give it back to the country that built it (the United States), bad things are going to happen”.
That’s about as undiplomatic as you can get, I mean, hey, is that a nice way to ask them if he wants to do this peacefully? He’s threatening them right out front. Remember how they responded before? They fight to the bitter end. He wants us to do this again? They’ve flatly rejected his demand and who can blame them? They don’t want any American presence in Afghanistan and they said so. I suggest that he nukes them and is done with it because that’s the only way anyone stands a chance of winning a war against them. If he actually sends troops in there again, God only knows what will happen but it sure won’t be good.
No, we would lose again, but at least it would take people’s minds off the stink of that damned albatross.
You was involved in the blockade of Russia?
Did you take part on the Missiles Crisis in Cuba in 1962?
Yes, only it was the first one, that our government didn’t tell anyone about. The Russians first started bringing their ICBM’s over to Cuba in the Spring of 1961 and we went over to stop them. We never got into an actual battle with them but it was very close, I still remember staring into the cannon barrels of one Russian warship that was trying to ram us. But they backed off for awhile after a few confrontations. What it was really all about was the nuclear ICBM’s we’d installed in Poland and pointed at Russia, so they started putting them in Cuba to get Pres. Kennedy to back off, and remove our missiles from Poland, which he finally did. It nearly came to nuclear war, most people don’t know this and our government has never admitted it, because they didn’t want anyone to know we backed down from Russia. By the time the second Cuban confrontation started I had left the military. I have an Expeditionary Medal as a souvenir of the 1961 Russian naval confrontation.
WOW!
If Trump make another war, he could take back all that billionaire militar equipment Biden left: planes, tanks, helicopters, weapons, etc.
Hard to say what condition all that stuff is in now, or how much is even left. Our involvement in Afghanistan cost the country a massive amount of lives and money and not one thing was gained. If we did take the base back, it would be under constant attack, we’d be at war there again and it would give the Chinese an excuse to set up a base on Cuba, 90 miles away from the USA. I was involved in the blockade of Russia when they set up a missile base there, so I know the US wouldn’t tolerate the Chinese being there. This is all just a really bad idea.
