Griner-Bout trade gets curiouser and curiouser

 



1) Very odd Victor Bout arms merchant statment

2) James Carville on swap



Comments upon links:

With respect to link #1, it would seem that the Russians see an opportunity to look for sympathy along racial lines. Although it DOES seem like the wokesters are on a crusade against the purportedly Christian Russian nation, it doesn't mean that we should join them. As I've written all along on this, it is not our fight. We shouldn't have anything to do with this. That is not based upon racial lines, but I would bet that the wokesters LOVE the idea of whitey fighting whitey. I know I've seen it on the web that certain Muslim nations would like Russia and the USA to destroy each other. We don't need Russia for that, though. We are doing it well enough on our own.

The James Carville reference in link #2 pretty much cements the idea. The left runs the government on the basis that the purpose of government is to divvy out the goodies on the basis of political support. Therefore, if you criticize the deal, it is only because you would prefer that it go to the white dude. Well, that would be a rather jaundiced view of race relations in this country. Number one, if such a deal were made on that basis, the Democrats would go insane. They might even have a legal case, as it is in the law based upon non-discrimination on the basis of race ( and other things that are getting added to the list of aggrieved groups). Nobody would do it overtly on the basis of race, except Democrats, because that is where their bread is buttered. Number two is that there is a basis for concern on the basis that this guy is an "arms-merchant to terrorists". This label was applied by the Obama Administration. So, maybe they are saying it sotto-voce, that the guy isn't so dangerous after all. Or that they don't care even if he is. Is he dangerous or not? It is "their words". Now they are refuting their own words. It must be okay then, to endanger the country in favor of their pet groups. If you disagree, it is only because you are a bigot. At least, according to Carville and Co.

Somewhere in this lies the problem in this country today. It's all about me, me, me. Nobody can say anything against "me", because I am going to be offended. Lord help anybody that offends "me". The country cannot endure it. /sarc

But we CAN endure terrorist acts because "shut up".
