End of June

June is winding down thank God. The last seventy-two hours of mayhem have been fun. Maybe! I can say that because I am in the States, not Europe or Russia. We are going to look at the events from this weekend starting with Friday’s press announcement with two senators. Or to be more realistic actors playing senators. One from each team. Team D Richard Blumenthal and Team R. Lindsey Graham.

They start out by emphaising that “Washington is a Contentious place.” If you don’t what that means, don’t worry because they don’t either. They act like they are on the same page and even kiss each other’s ass. YUK! They take turns talking. While each one talked they other Held a piece of paper. With a quote from Biden. I doubt Biden remembered making the comment so it’s irrelevant, just like these actors.

Coup In Russia! NOT!

So the head guy from Wagner tried to pull a coup off. First of all, it was poorly planned but that’s what happens when someone who’s trained as a chef professionally tries to be an assassin turned CIA operative with the end plan of overthrowing a Democratically elected president (?). In the year (yes I said year), I have been reading The Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, I have learned quite a lot. This coup screams of a CIA desprate attempt to distract the west from how badly Ukraine is doing in their ‘Counter Offensive’. I don’t know if I would call what they are doing a counter offensive. Disaster maybe. (I am going to leave you links to articles to read about this ‘Coup’ so you can go and read my reference material.)
