Wafers-

This is an excerpt from a novel by Viet Thanh Nguyen, "The Committed":

"The American Way of Life! Eat too much, work too much, buy too much, read too little, think even less, and die in poverty and insecurity. No, thank you. Don't you see that's how the Americans take over the world? Not just through their army and their CIA and their World Bank, but through this infectious disease called the American Dream?"

More on Trumpi's attack on Zelenskbag:

Trump essentially told Z that he was holding no cards, and that he was little more than a douche bag and a buffoon. Which is, of course, correct. And then, European leaders, and American Democrats, rushed to defend Zel-Bag. But since he is a buffoon, this makes them buffoons. This fits well w/my theory abt hi-IQ morons. These morons are up in arms that Trumpi is putting an end to the post-WW2 order. They don't understand that this is his historical role (witting or not). They don't understand that a man can be an asshole and at the same time, an agent of History. They haven't a clue about the West to East tectonic shift, or the Modern to Something Else tectonic shift. Hi-IQ morons, and ignorant jackasses. So the Z-Bag man returns to Kiev, w/nothing to show for his visit. Historically speaking, we are getting somewhere. Of course he didn't cause the Russian invasion; that's nonsense. But we did, or rather Schmiden (a war criminal) did. Russia was trying to protect its borders from us, and from NATO, wh/he had every rt to do, and it looks like he has succeeded. Meanwhile, a lot of pro-Zelbag fools need a vigorous slapping. The Wafer Slapping Team (WST) has its work cut out for it.
