Question

 

Would you bet on a team — when literally all the real talent is on the other side?

 

 

For example

 

So-called West — run by pillaging nitwits.

 

East — led by intelligent states-people.

 

 

Where's the meaningful talent?

 

Read the following as a hint:

 

 

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the 30th Assembly of the Council on Foreign and Defence Policy, Moscow, May 14, 2022, mid.ru (14 May 2022)

You will not find anyone . . .

 

. . . (both influential and powerful) in the West — who has a trace of Lavrov's knowledge, accurately applied analytical skill and concomitant ability to communicate efficiently, honestly and understandably.

 

The same goes for Vladimir Putin, who now stands as one of History's more competent (though arguably over-cautious) head-of-state defenders of his nation's interests — vilified though he may be by the uncomprehending and historically ignorant dumbheads, who surround us all.

 

Mildly the same respect can be apportioned to China's president, Xi Jinping.

 

 

The moral? — The West's emphasis on Stupid and Nasty . . .

 

. . . is not going to win the intra-hemispheric conflict that our drool-foamy leaders started on purpose. Unless, of course, we in the West blow up the world in a fit of Pillagers' Pique.

 

Either way, the future's tea leaves are moving.

 

Minister Lavrov concisely explained why.
