Late start this morning

I slept rather lightly last night.  When it came time for my usual blogging routine, I wanted to get a little more shut eye.

Anyway, I am trying this new way of posting with a kind of stream of consciousness approach.  So, I'll recall yesterday, something I saw about Russia.

It seems that Putin and company has managed to convince his people that America is a rather corrupt and detestable bunch now.  Opinion polls that once were quite favorable towards America and Americans, have now turned quite negative.  When I saw that, I got a little worried.  This kind of thing may precede a big war.  It is pretty dangerous stuff to start underestimating an opponent.  We tend to do it over here, and it does seem to be the way of the world.  If they ever get the idea that a war with us can be a cakewalk, there will be a great danger of a war breaking out.

The Japanese thought we wouldn't fight when they attacked Pearl Harbor.  No doubt, the terrorists don't think too much of us either, or they would have been scared shitless to attack us like they did on 9-11.  As for us, we'd better stop giving off these bad impressions, or something worse may come our way.

Russia has some vulnerabilities.  It would not be wise to go off starting a big war with anyone, especially us.

America is badly served by its so called leadership these days.  This circumstance may not last too much longer.

Hillary seems to be the heir apparent, but she has her own vulnerabilities.  The left may be getting a bit nervous about her prospects.  The GOP, the stumbling bunch that they are, may actually field a strong candidate.  Help may be on the way.

I am confident that the patriots will rise up and defend our country against all enemies, foreign or domestic.
