According to Seething Phrog FDR kept the Russian Empire intact under Joseph Stalin in order to strip the British Empire of its wealth. I don’t actually think he directly said it as plainly as that but it is what his intention resulted in regardless of how he managed it.
I always wondered how such conflicting ideologies conspired to work. Watching events with Josoppy Bidden the last few years confirms it can. Inept politicians can only survive their corruption if all the other men in charge are equally corrupt. I was watching the film The Widow Maker when I realised that this is what we are now seeing: The destruction of a corrupt evil regime.
In 1960 the communist USSR, functionally inept, built a nuclear submarine with so many flaws it was major death-trap, having killed 10 of its crew before it was launched; it finally sailed with leaking nuclear fuel after the captain was replaced for refusing to accept the state of readiness.
For whatever reason the replacement captain accepted the commission regardless of the safety of the crew, himself included. I can’t imagine why anyone would prefer to work on a ship like that, living in fear rather than living in poverty. DEI hires, one and all. Sad. In the end Gorbachev stood up for his people and dissolved the evil empire, some 20 agonising years later. Painting over cracks is dangerous in any regime incorporating such standards is dying of cover-ups.
Imagine government so corrupt this negligence is standard everywhere in the land. That it what communism tends to. In truth this is the end of every empire that ever existed. Corruption becomes so uncontrolled, life in it becomes untenable.
Apparently the design of the Russian ship was the same one that the American builders were willing to accept until less insane heads over-ruled them. That is how near the failure of command was willing to go. I get the impression Boeing is another example of painting over the cracks. Corruption is unlimited under satanic forces.
How does one describe despicable politics?
The sands of time for these bad leaders leading badly is, soon to be run out, there is bright new future under the rulership of Jesus in the very near future. In fact it seems to me that the way he has handled the change-over has been about as peaceful a change as it is possible to get.
