THE NEW “CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS”
The emanations of the “heart” of Mr. Putin have exposed themselves. Most long-term observers of this man would agree, and many have been saying so for some time, that the former KGB head and professional killer is psychologically driven to create a vicious empire that surpasses that of the former Soviet Union. Mr. Putin’s grab of South Ossetia, , Abkhazia, and democratic Georgia are nothing more than a “throwing down of the gauntlet”, to the USA, NATO, and “the west”. Putin endured the inner humiliation in his developing years of President Kennedy’s “victory” (negotiated trade), in the “Cuban-Missile Crisis” and naval blockade. The U.S.S..R publically went home with it’s “tail between it’s legs” and the USA “clinked their glasses” in “victory” and bathed in years of historical “brilliance”. Now, Putin’s youthfully developed hunger for revenge may have caused him to begin the new empire before he had all his “ducks” in a row.
How will this crisis end? Will another psychotic would-be emperor head for home in public shame or will the “raging heart” refuse logic and survival to reclaim his heritage as the ‘Prideful Savior of Russia”? Adolph Hitler developed his rage after the reportedly “unfair” shame inflicted on his country after WWI (The Treaty of Versailles). Once in power he destroyed those he blamed for Germany’s “shame”, and took along millions of innocents with them (read correctly, the blame was the treaty, he projected that blame psychotically onto the Jews, but took down millions of others, especially Allied Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen & women, plus citizens all over the world as innocent victims). It has been said so often that “history has a way of repeating itself” so much so that no one really investigates that truth. Well it is true because history it just the report on human behavior. Human behaviors have never changed and never will. Granted there are many forms of human behavior, many quite commendable, but it’s the horrific one’s that get the most “ink”. Pardon my digression; I wanted to focus the historical development of vengeance and rage as a necessary piece of understanding my point.
Mr. Putin HAS thrown down the gauntlet. He is driven by a vengeance and rage that will not permit him to act logically, sensibly, or survivably. Only those others around him have the slightest chance to stop him before we find ourselves in a do or die confrontation like the ‘Cuban-Missile Crisis”. Those around him include his closest friends and associates who “see” his unfortunate condition, those underlings in his power circle who may want to live and do not share his insanity or have not yet succumbed to it, and finally those brave Russian people who so proudly paraded the throwing off of communist masters and dared to stand ready to face decades of economic sacrifice just to taste and breath the instinctual human craving for freedom and self-determination. Barring any of these moving successfully and quickly against him, (as Putin even now evaluates the loyalty and control over the aforementioned “others” and has begun a program of eliminating or gaining leverage over them years ago), he will wreak havoc in this nuclear age.
NATO and the USA, encumbered with economic instability, militaries spread thin in the case of the USA and of confused “playing the middle ground” loyalties in regards NATO, must make quick, hard, firm decisions and move immediately using every channel and display of forceful determination to show the firmness and unity of their hands. Make no mistake, now that Putin has exposed himself He must go “all in” or do the one thing he can never do, humble himself. History marches on, maybe this time we will get a good surprise.
Color me “freebirdwil”, and unfortunately, I did not spent last night in a Holiday Inn Express!
