Pero's Hot Takes: Kashmir & The Stilt

KASHMIR:  No, I'm not talking about a mis-spelled sweater.  And I'm also not thinking about one of Led Zeppelin's greatest songs - though it is an amazing song.

Kashmir is a region in the northern part of India.  It is also a region claimed by Pakistan - the eastern part of Pakistan...It has been fought over by the two countries since they gained independence from the Brits in 1947.

History and geopolitics never end, and old hatreds and rivalries never stay dormant forever.  Especially when it comes to religious issues...In this case, much of the squabble is about Islam (Pakistan) and Hinduism (India).

In the last couple weeks both India and Pakistan have made cross-border incursions (Pakistan with 'unofficial' troops/militants, and India with official troops).  Both have also fired on each other with their air forces; India actually had a plane shot down.

So, who cares?  It's India and Pakistan.  It's not like they are great powers.  HA!

These are two countries with large nuclear weapon stockpiles, and more-than-adequate delivery systems.  They are, also, countries with great power neighbors, allies and pseudo-allies (China, Iran, US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc.).

Here's the important things to think about:
1.  If things continue to heat up, India would absolutely crush Pakistan in a conventional war...Pakistan is VERY aware of this.
2.  Pakistan has a 'First Strike Doctrine.'  Meaning it has an official policy of using its nuclear weapons as a first strike to defend itself...One of the only countries on earth to have such an 'official' doctrine.
3.  If Pakistan knows it would get crushed in a conventional war with India, and gets to a point where it believes it may be attacked by India, would it go to it's 'First Strike Doctrine'?  If so, India would obviously return the favor.
4.  What would India and Pakistan's neighbors and allies do in the event of any of this happening?

Hmmmmm!?!?!?!  I'm sure the MSM won't bother you with such questions.

The Stilt:  On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain had the greatest single-game performance in the history of North American sports - and there aren't any that are even close...The most amazing part of this feat for him is he made 28 of 32 Free Throws - he was a 50% FT shooter for his career.

If you are wondering why I said North American sports instead of American sports, I wanted to include anything Wayne Gretzky did.

Pero's Hot Takes: Germany & Reaping What They Have Sown

Pero's Hot Takes will be a new segment on this blog.  It won't be routine, but will fill the voids of the weeks there are no holidays or I don't put up a semester of Prager University.

And I promise I won't give takes on the same ol' BS you see and hear in the MSM every hour of every day...If anything, I'll try to have takes on issues I'm quite certain the MSM will try to hide from you.  Heaven forbid they allow the plebs to know WTF is going on around them!

I also promise my takes won't be novels.  I'll keep them relatively short.

Germany:  Most Americans look at modern Germany as a land of peaceful, car making, Euro-loving, friends of the West and America - and enemies of Russia.

It is true that Germany is currently filled with 'anti-war peaceniks', makes some excellent cars, can't imagine living without the Euro and the EuroZone, pretends to be pals with the West and the U.S., and talks a lot about the danger of Russia.

That said, it is important to remember why Germany is the way it currently is:  Because they were a bunch of lunatics, bent on world domination, who would have killed off a hundred million people if they could have - don't get stuck on just the Jewish Holocaust.  If they had won WWII they would have went from the Jews to the Poles, to the Ukrainians, to the Russians, etc., etc., etc.

And don't assume they were much better before Adolph came around.  Germany was crafted out of the Holy Roman Empire and Prussia - two entities that never allowed for peace, and from the time the German state came into existence in 1871 it has been a major thorn in the side of all of Europe.

Modern Germany is a product of American and Soviet ass-kickings!  Ass-kickings they brought on themselves.  But they still have big ambitions of dominating Europe.  They just know they can't do it militarily - they do it economically, at the expense of ALL of their neighbors.

Now they want to play both sides of the geopolitical chessboard:  Have the U.S. as their security blanket (against Russia) - and complain about the U.S. never doing enough, while at the same time buying massive amounts of natural resources from the same Russians they are supposedly in danger from.

Trump is correct to bang on the Germans.  Along with any of the other Euro-turds who expect the U.S. to protect them from the 'big bad Ruskies.'  Especially those who also want to play patty-cake with the Bear.

I highly recommend you keep an eye on Germany.  I promise they will be a source of frustration for their neighbors in the relatively near future...And it will be because they only care about themselves, and will use the U.S., the Euros and the Russians as much as possible for the sole good of Germany - to the detriment of the rest of Europe.

Same as they always have - except now they do it through political and economic warfare.

Green Propagandameisters:  I'm sure most of you have heard about the Green New Deal proposed by AOC and a host of other completely insane Democrats.  Nothing they proposed it new, and none of it is a deal...It's the same kind of garbage Lefties have been dreaming of for decades.

Except AOC was stupid enough to say it out loud.

There is one difference between AOC and her clown-pals and the Lefties who've been yapping about Green BS.  That difference is the old Lefties know the Green BS was truly BS...AOC thinks it's real.  Not real BS, but really an existential problem for humanity.

The video below shows a bunch of kids (and their childish parents) confronting Diane Feinstein about the Green New Deal.  DiFi is an old-school Lefty; she's been a U.S. Senator from California for decades.  She's used the Green Scare in her push to increase the size of government.  She's played the 'gloom and doom game' for a long time...But she knows it's BS.  It's just a tool to forward her agenda; an agenda bent on the government dominating the American economy - more than it already does.  Much more.

Watch the video and you'll see how 'successful' the Left has been in its brainwashing of the American people...Specifically those born in the last 30 years (the kids and their parents) - groups which will eventually become a bunch of monsters the Lefty Dr. Frankensteins have created.

You will also see how little the old-school Lefty is worried about the issue in reality!!!

'Wait a minute!  You turds actually believed that Enviro-BS we've been yapping about?  You really think the world is going to end due to Man-Made Global Warming/Global Cooling/Climate Change/Whatever-the-Hell-Nonsense-We-Make-Up???' - DiFi
