“Ignorance of historical past,” Robert Conquest wrote, “is among the most detrimental attributes of recent man.”
Certainly, amongst our woke politicians and pseudo-intellectual lecturers, it’s trendy to sneer at anybody who makes a historic reference.
The whole lot that occurred earlier than the election of Barack Obama, our chattering class believes, is nothing greater than the machinations and exploitations of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic white males. The previous is irrelevant, and looking for knowledge from historical past is offensive to the uber-sensitive.
Ask AOC to state the dates of the Civil Struggle and listen to what she says. You will most likely get a sneer and no reply.
Ask Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren to outline Operation Barbarossa, the Battle of Britain, and the years they occurred. I am going to guess she does not know.
Now, our nation’s coverage wonks and navy bureaucrats, apparently unaware of historical past, are stoking the conflict in Ukraine.
As President Trump has mentioned, it is a silly conflict, mindless and tragic. The American public does not know the way many individuals have died within the battle as a result of everyone seems to be mendacity in regards to the casualties. However, it’s secure to say that half 1,000,000 individuals have been killed, and lots of of 1000’s extra have been maimed. Cities have been leveled, and tens of millions of Ukrainian refugees have been pushed out of their native nation.
For what? To prop up the Ukrainian authorities, a corrupt and venal crime gang. Is not anybody conscious of Russia’s lengthy dominance in Crimea or the tens of millions of Russian audio system within the Donbas?
Barack Obama’s State Division and his CIA destabilized Ukraine in 2014 and pushed Russia towards conflict. Hunter Biden enriched himself in Ukraine, after which Joe Biden, morally bankrupt and cognitively ravaged, shipped billions of {dollars} in weapons to prop up Zelensky’s corrupt regime.
And Individuals do not care. Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde, bleats about transgender youngsters who supposedly concern for his or her lives, however she does not give a fuck in regards to the Ukrainians, or a minimum of not sufficient to say it in her lecture to the President.
And neither do the parents within the legacy media. Do you assume Whoopi Goldberg may discover Ukraine on a map?
Please, President Trump, cease the conflict in Ukraine. When you do this, it is best to get the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Committee would possibly offer you Barack Obama’s. He by no means used it.
