Does anyone else get the sense that the sham going on in Alaska where our president and Russia’s president are meeting over RUSSIA’S sham of a war with Ukraine is a sham?
That is it fake?
Like the badly made consumer dupes that are flooding the stores, homes, parties?
Yeah, me too.
In fact, I am seeing a cheap knock off of the 2004 movie Mean Girls where the Plastics try and hold onto their power over the rest of the student body.
Also insert every single teenaged movie since the inception of the movie.
I am getting a strong sense of both presidents giggling over the death toll in Ukraine.
As they do their hair and make up and try on outfit after outfit. And talk about the killing of innocent people in Ukraine. They might also talk about the SuperFake take over of DC by the president’s thugs. But probably not.
These fake peace talks are definitely giving slumber party antics.
Breathlessly the press is hanging on their every word and action and inaction. The nonevent has been spoken about in reverent tones for weeks. All the world’s reporters are in faithful attendance.
Dance they will.
Nothing will be decided.
The killing of innocent Ukrainians will still go on.
The absurdly trumped up war that Russia’s president started will go on.
Something has to take the world’s attention off the files, after all. As if it could. You know the files I am talking about. How could you not?
I am also getting a whiff of desperation out of both of them. While people die at home and in Ukraine and Gaza, they put on this spectacle.
After all “All the world’s a stage”. Written by William Shakespeare, spoken by Jaques in As You Like It.
Popcorn, anyone?
