Nostradamus’ prediction that “those of the northern pole” (the USA and Russia) would become allies vs. the Third Antichrist (which he identified with Islamism) rather got knocked for six when Putin and the mullahs decided to join forces.
Of course this could turn out to be another Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, too. I.e. a matter of who stabs who in the back first.
Hogg’s first law;
Just because you’re getting ready to attack, there’s no rule that prohibits the other fellow from having a go at you first.
The only two things Islam and Communism/Socialism have in common is first the idea that the peons must be ruled with an iron fist, and second the fact that neither is capable of unifying enough to set up the world government their philosophy envisions.

It’s smart to make the enemy of your enemy your ally. But it’s stupid to think that this alone makes you friends, or the alliance permanent. Often your ally is your _next_ enemy.
I have made very important business decisions based on my dogs’ dislike of someone, God gave them a damn near infallible instinct and it has worked to my advantage several times. And I will take their advice this time too.
Can’t take credit (or blame) for this, but it’s been postulated that the first Mrs. Brandon’s car crash with the children was intentional on her part. Trying to save them from the horrors she saw coming.
I could believe that the laptop and diary could have been semi-intentional for that matter. In fits of despair and addiction, the train of thought could have been “Screw him, I don’t care who knows what he’s made me do. It serves him right…”

“Jamming our satellite over your swimming hole”
At least you know that Putin is a man who appreciates feminine beauty.
LOL!
Unjam it when it’s the guys: turn at the pool.
LOL!
When your “allies” watch your 2020 election being stolen by a crime syndicate and don’t say a thing about it except telling you to shut up, you do begin to wonder who you’re real allies are…
Very funny indeed. Good one, Chris! Just a couple of points: Russia is NOT our enemy (i.e. of the American people). Its government does not seek to cancel us, control us, attack us, enslave us, or even lie to us. (Think about it: What government DOES do those things and hold those positions).
Secondly, the name of the game in diplomacy is quid pro quo. Surely there’s a way to make a deal with Russia where their LEO satellites aren’t being jammed over Brewster County…in return for what?
At one time, I had the entire Declaration of Independence memorized. I eventually reduced that to the first half; From “When in the course of human events” to “Let Facts be submitted to a candid world” I haven’t said it much lately and I stumbled a bit when I recited it last night but got through it with a few mistakes. At 72, it is harder to remember.
socialism and comunism like islamism have exactly the same goal, to eliminate anyone who doesn’t do things the way they want them to.
If they’re not actively trying to destroy your particuar group it simply means that they have a temporary use for you to weaken or defeat another group and they’ve agreed to save you for last. The oart that eludes most of these groups is that eventually they will either be last or lose their usefulness and be jumped up the line a little and there’s no complaining when you’re dead or enslaved. The liebral ‘governments’ in most of the Western countries would not only sacrifice their citizens to stay in power, they’d sacrifice their own family…and many already have.
I was stationed in West Germany during the mid-70’s. I find it beyond irony that I now find Putin far more believable than our current Resident. Not saying I always agree with Putin.

Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more, no less.

I think there is enough out in the open that “our guy” is a good bit more than just a childsniffer.
A whole series of “his” dogs hated his ass.

Ruint his daughter, and maybe Hunter, too. Makes you wonder, about the late Beau….who SEEMS to have been mostly normal…(?)

Low earth orbital passes over Brewster County, Texas are probably crowded this time of year.
Sorry, but the real Putin could care less about such. He was a member of the KGB knitting circle for years.
You may need to explain the “knitting circle” reference. Not everyone in in the loop on that one.
>>>OTH, on this forum, they probably are. Disregard my prior and carry on.
Please do explain the KGB Knitting circle.
Men who enjoy the company of men, rather than women, aka gay.
Or the women knitting in A Tale of Two Cities – and encoding a list of people to be guillotined into the pattern.
A B if not necessarily a G or C I think…hell he probably bonks critters too…
OT: “Enemy Mine,” 1985, with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr., was one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time.

OMGosh that’s funny.
Happy Independence Day, everyone! Party like it’s 1776!
Zar Belk!
Speaking of 1776, watch the movie on TCM today, and listen to Stan Freberg’s version created in 1961!

Sam still looks nice and ‘perky’ after several kids, with Mari and Mia both close by, pootie might be thinking ‘knit one-pool two’ 😉

Don’t feel bad. Back then I found Yuri Andropov (KGB) and Dmitri Yakushkin (GRU) to be more reliable as intel sources than anybody at Langley.
