Sucked in by the Great Game
The great game is about how Afghanistan
has forever been the death knell of the colonial West
+
To this may be added recent examples of Great Game-itis
There was LBJ’s fatal testosterone run
No he was not gonna be first to give in to the commies
Hola Vietnam
+
Then there was W’s (Bush 2) moronic
Cheney-driven descent into evil
Iraq crucified
Hola Iraq
+
And there was Obama’s weak-kneed temporizing
setting up the Trumpian disgustoid
current
happening
determination to follow the same lead
with phony muscle and bilious bluster
in Afghanistan
+
This will set up a war worth fighting here
in the US of A
+
Here is how things are
The neo-liberal world of our establishments
is the world of LBJ-W-Trump
and the pacific Reagan too sort of
It is the world of the Dulles Brothers and Nixon
It is the binary world
+
We live in the dawn of the triadic age.
+
Kennedy threatened binary and is no longer about
Erased in fact
The choice now is to lead with
triadic values
explicitly
or maintain the status quo
+
Triadic values will denuke the world
cut armaments in half
make fair or basic income
floor for all
Triadic values will spawn a global pedagogy
that promotes
tolerance
helpfulness
and democracy
on a platform of
non-idolatry
+
This platform is too scary
but things cannot brook compromise just now
This is the leadership formula
It accounts for all past progress
+
Future strength will come from a recreation of
alliances
according to
the willingness to go with the platform
and the values
+
It is a gamble
but
the binary testosterone
gamble of LBJ (and all) is a loser
+
The one proposed here
will one day win
