I wanted to keep away from the damn fool wars of choice the US of A (aka; 'Merikkka) is bogged down in and has been since W. Shrub invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Well, from the crap comment made by the current POTUS, yeah, the orange haired rodent who now occupies our White House about the death of one of four US Army soldiers who was killed in Niger recently got me to go for this.
His comment to the widow of this dead human was beyond absurd. It was quite uncaring, but, well, does any sane person actually think Trump cares for anybody other than himself and possibly his own immediate family? If you do, then I hear there just may be a certain bridge for sale, cheap.

He supposedly told this poor woman who just lost her husband, the "He knew what he had signed up for". How bloody callous. How goddamn fucking RUDE!
One needs to stop a minute though. Take a second or three and ask yourself, just WHY does this country have any troops in Niger? 

Trump's Horrible Truth

The following may give you a clue. How come nobody thought to ask Trump just why do we have troops in Niger any way?

 What is going on in Niger

In my opinion, this is just another example of 'Merikkka trying like hell to grab as much territory and resources as possible. Mostly this is due to greed. Yes, plain old greed of the ruling class. I swear, if the top 1% of the top 1% ever do own everything on this planet, they will still want more. They are consumed by a boundless greed that can never be satisfied. See, the very, very rich ARE different from the working class and the poor folks. Most working class people I've ever known, and being born into the working class and being just an ordinary working class man all my life, those people form the main group I have been close to for nearly 70 years now. I have met a few middle class folks and even two or three upper middle class as well. I place most medical professionals in the middle to upper middle classes, mostly doctors and surgeons and the odd bank manager.
In my experience, yours may be different, most working class people just want decent housing, a reliable transportation (car, truck, etc.) and enough decent food to feed their families. They also tend to want their children to have at least as good a life as they have had, but really want their kids to have abetter life than they have had. Oh sure, they like to be able to take the family on a nice vacation now and then. They tend to have more realistic goals for their lives. They may think they want things they cannot afford, but they probably would not be all that happy once they got those things. Yes, they complain about how hard life is, but they tend to be satisfied with what they have. 

The rich tend to want more,of everything. 
Here is a quote from August Spies, labor activist, Haymarket martyr; "Laws are cobwebs for the rich and chains for the poor".

A question I've been asking for decades, at least since I got back from the damn fool Vietnam war is, just who died and made 'Merikkka the global cop? 

Until next time, please try and treat all those you come in contact with each day the way you want to be treated.
