There may be trouble ahead…


….so while there’s moonlight and music and love and pictures of Crackers, let’s look at pictures of Crackers. Back from 2007 this one, when Crackers was a TV star albeit one viewed only briefly and occasionally on the never forgotten, never bested Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. Why not? This is the Revolutionary Army of Crackers after all and it’s always worth re-iterating that that’s got nothing to do with the racial epithet bestowed on white people. Well….perhaps it’s no coincidence that the little cartoon Imaginary Friend Crackers was pink and whiney. Hmmm  I expect it is just a coincidence but even if it wasn’t then it’s hardly worth any dumb-ass crackers thinking, on that basis, that they’ve got themselves a revolutionary army led by me. Hey look big-man, take a look at yourself, it’s in the mirror that the real war starts. Oi! 

Anyway, one might as well make some whiney and pinko statements while sitting here typing under this small but inspiring imagery. You lucky proles almost didn’t get one of these this month as I keep getting distracted by massacres involving the various types of sand-crackers, which is my brand new term of racial abuse to throw at the people of the middle-east as let’s face it most of them look more like europeans than sub-saharan africans or east-asians. Don’t worry pc pals! My crass racial abuse is by far not the worst thing being thrown in the area around that great continental bridge right now. Not by a long charlie chalk. Remember that general regional settlement I was going on about a while ago? Imagine the exact opposite of that, spilling out in all directions. It’s a bad place, humo-friends and I’m properly afraid for you all. It’s not that all the actors involved are reckless or stupid by any means but there’s always the possibility that those who potentially perceive that compromise is a losing game will play double or quits as one party did by using chemical weapons on the battle-fronts of the east Damascus suburbs last Wednesday, whoever that may have been. It certainly looks like the work of the army of the government of Syria but unless one is 100% sure, a military strike by NATO, may be a terrible error with long-lasting repercussions. Plus a military strike on whom? Where? Certainly for the international community it must be a great priority that the use of chemical weapons remains taboo. Not  tabun. Ha ha ha!   
 
Excuse me.

Ouch!

Idiot.

Yes I was saying, that chemical warfare is going on should throw everyone in a tizzy and solicit a serious response- or should it? What if it turned out that the attack was just a massive concentration of CS gas which is routinely used for internal pacification by governments all over the world including those us snooty western scummos call ‘democracies’. Sometimes with lethal results too. Democracies have also used phosphorus bombs, napalm, thermobaric and even nuclear weapons to achieve military objectives whose long-term aim is to protect the lives of their citizens, disrupt terrorism etc. 'War Crimes' just isn't as b/w as all that or at all, for that matter. War is like, bad scene, man! The war is the crime and one that humans will probably keep committing till the last one is just a shadow on scorched rock. In about 6 months. Ha ha ha! As much as you believe that there is a thing called international law, an attack on Syria does not uphold it. Rather the opposite in fact; the 1925 convention prohibiting the use of chemical weapons makes no reference to its use within a nation plus Syria never signed it anyway.

It is hard to square the circle of needing to discourage the further use of WMD in the Syrian civil war when the only tool that has the ability to achieve that is bringing more fire-power into the situation. It’s all very well NATO sniping at Syria from a distance with Tomahawk missiles when they could decide to retaliate and double up in the face of defeat by lobbing some VX into Tel Aviv and widen the war by bringing Israel in like Saddam tried in 1991. Plus other fronts could flare up at the same time and there’s plenty of them, right? You don’t need a list.
 
So what to do? Well there’s nothing you or I can do directly and even lobbying elected governments is a waste of time. Just hope that that lot tread carefully and keep talking and listening as this plays out. I still contend that my Bismarck-style general regional settlement is a runner. What’s that? Bismarck’s diplomacy was a terrible failure and ultimately gave us 2 world wars? Nah. Shag that!  History will teach us nothing! Look if you really want to be positive remember that Syria is principally a humanitarian disaster. Go and give the victims medical care or whatever support you can offer. All these human breeders I’m always encountering who go on about how children are the future and shit should get their asses down there and put themselves in harm’s way in the name of somebody else’s stupid sand-cracker children who just aren’t getting the breaks that your little Prince Georges are getting. No I’m not going to. I have no stake in the future of your species save from enjoying the prettier bits of your world. Other than that I couldn’t give a shit. I can get out any damn time I want…. Sauropod deity, remember?  Anywei here’s one of those pretty things, one of my favourite things in fact. Well…I felt bad after going before and after jazz in that last post and missing the big wedge of tasty crumbly Cheshire cheese in the middle. Substitute your favourite sandwich filler to make the image work for you. Bye bye Monkey-chumps! I love you! I’ll miss you!


31/08/13 update. UKOGBANI's not going along for this ride. I think Cammers is secretly quite relieved about this, if not for all the reasons above but possibly also because he can't afford to empower the militarists in his own party who all want rid of him:Hague, Fox, Rifkind etc. I'm a little relieved too for all the difference it makes. This time it's France who's the US's deputy and that's just fine. Maybe we can do a better job than they did at being the bridge-builder for the urgently needed political solution. Wish! BTW references above to NATO seem to be completely wrong, for obvious reasons. This isn't a NATO thing....yet.
