An eloquent Ghanaian deflates the United States' — abysmally ignorant self-importance

I couldn't agree more

 

Femi Akomolafe, from Ghana, wrote the following recently — occasioned by contrasts in competence that are being revealed by the Russo-Ukrainian War:

 

 

Russian officials always come across as well-educated, well-informed, well-mannered, sophisticated, cultured, and respectful.

 

Western officials, on the other hand, attack the world as haughty, naughty, ill-mannered, ill-educated, uncultured, provincial, and narcissistic imbeciles.

 

The question needs to be asked how the Collective West ended up with the current gaggle of clowns holding positions of responsibility?

 

Just take a look at Sergey Lavrov and compare him with that dwarfish oaf, Anthony Blinken.

 

Please, how did the once great US get to appoint that trashy lightweight idiot supposed to engage with a towering diplomat of Mr Lavrov’s caliber?

 

And how do we compare the seriously martial Sergei Shoigu with that Raytheon’s Uncle Tom arms merchant, Lloyd Austin?

 

A little knowledge of history, geography, geopolitics, and geoeconomics should have informed the West that a country . . . that is not only self-sufficient in food production, but produces almost all the metals required by all of the major industries and . . . is the world’s leading energy (oil and gas) producer, is not one to trifle or pick a fight with.

 

There is little doubt the arrogance of the Collective West is fueled by ignorance which is a result of the poor quality of the education produced by . . . universities, which have been transformed from places of rigorous learning into ones that produce only selfish, self-centered, narcissistic, hedonistic ideologues who are incapable of any thought beyond the ME!

 

[T]oday, there’s not a single leader in the West with either the intellectual depth or the cultural sophistication to handle complex geopolitical issues.

The moral? — Comparison is a useful tool . . .

 

. . . for those of us who can still see and evaluate.

 

On the other hand, cultural narcissism — and almost literal brainlessness — makes and keeps most of us blind.
