M'eh. Okay pre Boomer.

Henry Kissinger, age 98, is of the opinion that we need to make sure Russia gets some land out of its assault on Ukraine.

And we care what Kissinger's opinion is. .  . why?

Maybe it was his role in the Paris peace process, by which we sold the Republic of Vietnam down the river.  He got the Nobel Peace Prize for that, along with his Vietnamese colleague. The latter refused to accept it.

Kissinger did.

We know, of course, that Nixon had already confided in Kissinger that all he was looking for was a way to leave Vietnam without acknowledging defeat.  The Republic of Vietnam would collapse, he knew, but that was okay as long it didn't happen too quickly.

Gee, that was great.

George Soros, age 91, warns us that this may be the start of a Third World War.

Oh, bull.

The logic that the world's toughest army turns out not to be able to fight its way out of a wet paper sack doesn't mean that it's going to use the only shell card it has left.  That'd be stupid.

But for that matter, who cares what George Soros thinks?

No, I don't think Soros is super uber powerful super baddie like some seem to think.  I just think he's a really rich dude and that doesn't make him the Dungeon Master of Dungeon and Dragons, Collapsed Russian Empire Edition.

By the way, Noam Chomsky, age 93, agrees with Kissinger.

I've never been able to figure out why anyone cares what Chomsky thinks on politics.  He's a left wing red remnant, whose been wrong on these topics forever.  Chomsky figures that the US is at fault for the war in Ukraine as we "pressured" Ukraine to join NATO, provoking a reaction justified reaction by the darling Supreme Soviet, um Putin by the Red, um Russian, Army.
