You may have heard about a little problem down in Syria, which can be summed up with: the United States of America want to bomb another Middle Eastern country for fun and profit; the rest of the world does not. More specifically, Russia is fiercely opposed to a military intervention, and its leader Putin has hinted at a possible open fight with American forces should they attack Syria.
I am way too realistic to try and analyze the economic and political reasons behind these stances, so I think I’ll be waiting for the possibly apocalyptic developments in the usual, fashionable way of disregarding it all until it is too late. Smarter intellectuals have however taken a firm position in the propaganda arena. Take the owner of a Moscow strip club: he bravely chose to invest his own time and money to popularize the educated opinions of his employees in the form of an artistic photo calendar. And he sent a copy both to Obama and Putin. Now I feel much safer.
Oh, by the way: the phrase in the photo on the left says: «An aggression both sides can agree on». Here are the other pearls of wisdom…
«Obama, if you don’t listen to Michelle listen to me!»
«I will marry a peacekeeper»
«When war begins we won’t be having any more fun»
«Look for chemistry in your relationship, not in Syria»
«A farewell to arms»
