2016 U.S. Elections: The Hustler Clown vs. The Political Housewife

…at least that's how i see it.

America Vs. Russia, the classic board game

Every day when i look at the news and see another political crisis somewhere in the world with one or more world or regional power involved, i can't help but think that the world has been, for a very long time, a very big board game, and while the board has been constantly changing, so are the players.

 One day you read about a revolution and the removal of a president so as to install another, and all that comes to my mind is that this is some intelligence agency's work to re-align that country, and its resources, to their side. An example would be Ukraine, where you have a revolution and a removal of a Russian aligned president on one side, and then the counter "separatist" uprising on the other. And i can't help but think that this looks like the classic America's NATO vs. Russia board game moves, in which the NATO needs access to Russia's back yard so it probably employs the CIA to get them this board spot. And then the Russians realizing their losing this spot to NATO, especially the HQ of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at Sevastopol, a spot which Russia cannot allow NATO to get near to, so they employ the FIS to create a "separatist" movement, to keep the naval base, both sides in the name of supporting democracy or nationalism.

 Another day you read about The U.S. THAAD missile system in South Korea which is upsetting China along with North Korea, and how the U.S. is upset about the military artificial islands China is building to claim its backyards, which you can think of as a "Scarecrow" to keep America's Naval Fleets away from its backyards.

 Of course the list of examples goes on and on and it goes back in time as the game has been going on for ages and millennia between the same as well as different players, and a lot of historical examples can be given. However in recent times of history the board game has been taking a more subtle approach in which the Chinese scarecrow are islands for economic zones, and missile systems are defense capability and bringing down governments and presidents is "supporting democracy and freedom", while if you take a close look at each and every excuse for the those board game moves, you'll almost certainly find that it is being violated and opposed or reversed somewhere else, either on another board game spot or at home, by the same player claiming it. A fact that just enforces the world board game and its subtle strategy idea.

Food For Thought

I start my random personal thoughts blog with this post. This Blog is mainly where i post my personal views on various topics that might or might not give food for thought. They can be right or wrong or even irrelevant. But in all cases they're out there so that in case they are correct or interesting they give others something to think about.
