As the last few days tick away before we scoot off to the USA, once more, I am glad of one thing.
This time around, I decided not to follow the custom of the past few years. I did not organize a ‘Disaster Sweepstake’. I do not know why Russia has contrived to be so badly led by the numpties that rise to the top in the Motherland.
Tsars, Commissars, or whatever they call themselves these days – they have insulted what could be a great country, and dragged it through the mud on so many occasions. ‘Lions led by donkeys’. That was the phrase used 100 years ago, and nothing has changed.
In answer to the question “How dumb can you get?”, I can only say …
Just hang around and we will see.
I hope that the history books for the next few years will only require a footnote.
We do not need a chapter. I would prefer not to merit a book.
