Well, he did it. War in Europe. Takes a special kind of dictator. The news outlets describe old Vlad as a Pariah. Papa and his ilk are more likely to use the word Doofus. Monsters deserve the more serious names of comdenation by talking heads. But, sometimes humor or satire are also appropriate. Sitting stoic on a stark stage while lying about Ukraine is a humorous vision. Vald pledges to rush into Ukraine and de-Nazify Ukraine by removing its Jewish President. Probably kill him if the Russians troops can get their hands on him. That would really make the anti-Nazi point.
For poking fun at the worst of the worst I recommend the 1940 movie “The Great Dictator”. It was filmed in black and white. I apologize to my grandkids with an aversion to such cinematography. But, it makes its point with sledge hammer clarity. The movie was made even before Papa’s time. However, with any sense of twentieth century history, you will understand its humor. Skewers old Adolph good.
Have faith in liberty. No matter how many Nuts Jobs (Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Mao, Castro and a sprinkling of other Poohbahs) spring up, civilization seems to advance towards peace and prosperity. It’ll always be a struggle. Thugs/bullies usually only respond to strength. Too often that solution runs smack into a desire of too many to go along to get along. Some folks are way too fearful of setting red lights and even get skittish about yellow lights. Dictators love green lights and may look to exploit yellow ones. The major problem with weakness in the face of bullies is that delay in standing up makes everything more costly once the bully is confronted. We shall see but for now the people of Ukraine are bearing the brunt.
