Putin And Trump's New Pursuit Of Nuclear Weapons And Stormy Daniels

       Some kind of perverse agreement has been made between people and their political and economic leaders. Leaders are allowed to enrich themselves, their families and cronies beyond their widest dreams. What do people get in return? A hope for economic and political stability?
       No such luck. The enriched class gives little to nothing in return, and more often gives nothing but low wages and repression.
        Putin announced new advances in nuclear weapons. The United States and Russia will now spend trillions on more advanced ways to kill each other and destroy the world.
       The audience enthusiastically clapped while Putin made his announcement - like lemmings following their leader off of a cliff.
       Putin said the world did not listen to Russia before, and that the world will listen now.
       Putin described one of the weapons as fantastic.
       Multi billionaire Putin has everything at his fingertips except immortality. He will one day die like everyone else. What will he leave behind if he follows this mad dream?
       A world made far more dangerous and unstable. A world in which people are closer to causing their own extinction.
       If Putin announced new advances and initiatives in cleaning up this increasing degraded, contaminated planet, or a reduction in nuclear weapons, or new peace initiatives, that is worthy of respect and being listened to.
       Just because people listen does not mean they respect what is being said.
       Trump and Putin need to pull back from the nuclear nightmare. People need to stop pretending their pursuit is normal.
       The Stormy Daniels story is inconsequential compared to the insane pursuit of nuclear weapons. Her story has nothing to do with the complete destruction of human life and almost all life on earth, yet that story, not this, gets all the attention.
