Fear was and is the element required. I would have thought it would have been the UN not NATO, but I guess it's all the same... what's in a name?
Politicians ought to have the most boring jobs in the world. We see them seek supervisory positions instead of the management jobs they actually are. The executive branch is more a leadership/supervisory role, but the rest are freakin clerks. No more. Except that they've made a soap opera over it and developed contingents of fan bases... theyve elevated themselves to something akin to the WWE. ..... and we watch it as if its some sort of smart and informed persons subject exclusively and accuse our opposition of being dumb or lacking information.... and set out to fix that... losing friends and creating separations that may or may not heal along the way.
We're friggin ALL dumb. We let this happen. Worse, we let them do this- the media realizes how vital the contest is to their success. So they do not a thing but toss fuel on a fire.
The problem is this isn't a game. People of other nations and people of this nation are at irreconcilable differences and are willing to kill because of the games they play.... and we play.
