I Don't Give a Darn about Ukraine: Am I the Only One? (Hint: No)
Well, I do care about the suffering... BUT...
Warning!: Profanities ahead (and it felt sooooo good! I might do it again!)
Last warning: I needed the catharsis of today’s column. LOTSA profanities ahead. There. You’ve been forewarned. If you’re easily offended, skip this article and go to an article in the coming days - or read this one then go cry in a corner.
First, remember when we had a real President? Invest 47 seconds of your life and check this prophetic address:

O Ukraine, Ukraine, whyfore should I give a damn about thou Ukraine? (With apologies to William Shakespeare).
Below are some nice perspectives. I could re-write all these, add some spices, angles, and maybe even a few F-bombs, but why bother? Have a few nice “reads” for some Ukraine-situation perspective:

I do feel bad for people under siege who are at the mercy of pols and dictators. But why worry about Ukraine and ignore the horror show that is China? Slave labor. Political executions. Communism. De rigueur and on a grand scale as projected into 1.5 billion people. And we participated in the Olympics??? $$$, I guess.
We’ve got enough going on here at home but politicians gotta pol, pal, and poke every damned thing. See, most of ‘em never worked at anything manifest or empirical or meritorious in their lives - or did so, so long ago, such that it means nothing. All they know how to do is fuck up stuff that other people run just fine absent a fucking asshole politician from on-far coming along to screw it up. Apologies: I meant ‘fuck it up.’ There, fixed it for me. As in, Biden (and the power cabal behind the senile fool) fucks up everything he/it touches. (Wow - that felt good!)
But, you see, it appears that this is the entire point: The agenda is to drive America down. Ever downward. Further and further down.
We’ve got an open border right here at home. This so-called President Biden obliterated our sovereign border, while shutting down the XL pipeline and banning drilling for our own oil on federal lands. With Trump, we were a net exporter of oil - now we gotta beg NATO countries for more production while buying from… Russia?? See, this is so our genius administration can buy our oil from Russia. And now rumors that we’ll buy from Venezuela. See, this way, we get to have 5, 6, 7 dollar-a-gallon gas at home, while funding Russia’s Ukraine war effort, while we threaten that nuclear power with sanctions and maybe even a looming “no fly” zone. Genius Joe did that (and the people pulling the strings).
Of course, you can buy an electric car and save the planet - which is what dumbass Joe seems to prefer (and AOC, Nancy, Schumer, Buttigieg, et al.). BUT, electric cars are 50 grand, I don’t want one, and besides are charged by charging stations that get their power from… coal-burning plants. Duh.
And so with zooming inflation and gas prices, everything goes up in price. Gosh, it’s enough to make you lose faith in these jackwads who stand at podiums and deliver bullshit State of the Union addresses. By the end of the night no one could be sure if Biden stunk up the Capitol from his address or his farts. ← Remember these reports?
Plus, Biden was busy mandating masks and shots, while firing the strongest (bravest) amongst us for resisting junk Covid drugs that are not vaccines by design nor effect (as I’ve written elsewhere). Can you imagine firing Firefighters, Truckers, Doctors, Nurses, EMS workers, First-Responders, Police, Military members… (who am I forgetting?- help me in your own minds and fill-in the blanks)… in the midst of a fake-demic where you have a near 100% recovery rate if you even get sick - and kids are more immune to Covid than they are to lightening strikes?
I want to get a new T-shirt: MAKE IT A GREAT DAY - NEUTRALIZE A DEMOCRAT
(And by “neutralize,” I mean vote them out of office).
His admin propagandized to abolish in-school learning. That’s so we can have kids grow into psychopaths who don’t recognize faces, have limited vocabularies, and can’t perform STEM worth a damn. That bomb hits the job market in 10, 20, 30 years… oops! I forgot it’s here already, with an ever-dumber workforce and service industry to contend with (destruction of the schools and actual learning having begun in earnest in the ‘60s). In addition to stupidity and ignorance, kids are nancy-boys, sissies, karens, and cucks.
But, on top of that, in decades to come, too many of today’s kids will be unable to work, serve, fight, etc. due to myocarditis, heart attacks, clots, strokes, miscarriages, birth defects… all on top of how “special” they are. Oh, they’ll be special all right. Already obesity is a (true) epidemic, but no one dare talk about that because they’re afraid of being accused of “fat shaming.” I fat shame.
Years ago, there was a book entitled I’m OK, You’re OK. I think I’ll write a(nother) book: I’m OK, You’re FAT. Then I’ll market a line of clothes: One Size Fits All (Fat People). I’ll have a big tent muumuu thing called “The Whoopi.”
Crime? We’ve got a handle on that: The agenda is to make it worse and that’s cookin’ along just fine. Felonies become misdemeanors, misdemeanors become get outta jail free sprees, we institute no bail/no jail policies, we’ve got people with 22 convictions on their backtrails eventually working their way up to murder (that one is still punishable… I think).
Homelessness? Nah - there’s a solution: Take a homeless person in and put ‘em in your spare bedroom. Great idea. Then, your sons and daughters can be raped, your house ripped off, and maybe you’ll hit the full lotto and someone in yer place will be murdered. Don’t worry - that one is still punishable… I think. (I’m aware I’m repeating myself; it’s just in case a Democrat is reading this).
See, this is kinda like playing with fire. See, fire is fun to play with. Sure. Just because it frequently takes off and burns down a forest, or a house or two, a city block, or just because a little border war can turn into a nuclear one between super powers, that’s no reason not to have a squinty-eyed, dementia-riddled, doddering fool and tool for a president. We can rest easy because, as backup, we’ve got a cackling, giggly, virtual schoolgirl for a vice president. Who needs intelligence, judgment, and gravitas when you can suck and fuck your way to the top?
Ukraine. Ukraine. Hmmm. You got problems? Welcome to the club. We all got problems. Screw Ukraine.
Now, I’d like everyone to know that I’m working on being more decorous. My columns are usually solemn affairs with cogent commentary and unique angles. But shit! Every once-in-awhile we all need to blow off a little steam. So, thanks for indulging me. As we said in this man’s Army: This country is in deep Kimchi. (My thanks to the Koreans for their support of this phrase).
And, as a very old saying goes: Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.
