When will they ever learn? Obviously these guys did not know or care what a gang of government thieves and oligarchs they were working for, nevermind the neo-nazis.<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time, we had people in government who would not have done this. Those days are over. Our government has the money, although borrowed, and the line is long for ex-military people wanting to get the big time merc jobs with the six figure paychecks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"rev-more-wrapper\">\n<p>But the competition is tough for those slots, and special operations vets are wanted for that kind of dough. And it helps to have political connections. Just ask Eric Prince.<\/p>\n<p>Proxy wars seem to have become the war plague of our time, with this one a hybrid mix, with the Russian military officially in combat with the warmonger mercs. I think 5 million Russians being shelled by NATO-supported Kiev and the neo-nazis trained by the CIA, resulting in 14,000 dead ethnic Russians, most of them civilians, might have had something to do with the Russians going in.<\/p>\n<p>If the situation was reversed, say with US citizens getting shelled for eight years, what do you think the US military would have done? And if somebody did not like it, would the Pentagon have given a hoot? Of course not.<\/p>\n<p>But in this case, these idiots think the rest of us are so stupid that we cannot see through the scam. Notice there is zero anti-war opposition developing on this, maybe due to our own political civil war, and braindead teens who want to die as mass murderers so they can \u2018be somebody\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The news is out now on the disfunctional Texas family, mom and dad both ex-cons, where the kid kills his grandma before heading out to the school to see how many kids he can kill to get on the US mass murderer list, outdoing the Buffalo shooter.<\/p>\n<p>As for the cops in the Texas school shooting, a shameful job on their part. If they are too chicken to charge an active shooter in a school, they should be on a cop B-team at lower pay, or maybe have to refund all the public money spent on active shooter training.<\/p>\n<p>I won\u2019t get into the social media aspect of it, something that has become a toilet for young people to live in, where their brains turn to mush.
