If Putin had asked Kerry’s advice on how to invade Ukraine, Kerry would have advised using electric tanks (stopping once every 5 kilometers to recharge), helium balloons and bio-degradable bullets. Maybe he’ll draft a new set of Geneva Conventions….
The American Spectator | USA News and Politics "On February 23, 1967, the 23rd Star Trek episode, “A Taste of Armageddon,” first aired on television. I saw it as a kid.
"Precisely 65 years later, on February 23, Russia invaded Ukraine. No doubt for the 23rd time.
"The irony could not have been lost on present day John Kerry, who surely found time to watch Star Trek in his Yale dorm room while scheming his political future. The viewing would prove formative for him (as it was for me, but in a different direction), as evidenced in his recent statements condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Rather, not the invasion itself, but the presumed deleterious “climate change” effects brought on by the physical manner of the invasion. Not the thousands of war fatalities, not the dangerous destabilization of global power balances and world peace, but instead, the theoretical risk of global air temperature rising by, who knows?, as much as 0.000001 degree Fahrenheit.
"Oh why?, laments Monsieur Kerry, why oh why can’t wars be fought without using fossil fuels to power tanks and fighter jets? Why must we persist in using high power explosives? Why do refugees choose to dash away to Romania in comfy Boeing 747s instead of tromping 800 miles over frozen snow the way war refugees traditionally flee?
"Which brings us directly to the 23rd episode of the original Star Trek, “A Taste of Armageddon.' ” . . .
