Ukraine War, 10 April 2024: Zombie Idiotism

Hello everybody!

Think it's about the time for me to adapt to these modern times. Some of you might know how it is: one grows a bit older, and the older one grows, the more problems with adaptation to latest trends, fashion, musics, life-style etc. one is experiencing. Now, actually, my biggest secret is that, actually, I’m growing younger by the day. However, this seem to be so uncommon that nobody is going to understand it. Moreover, explaining that would be digressing, so let me ignore this fact for the time being…

Point is: I’ve developed a new definition of modern-day Western politics. It might be I’m a few years late, but it seems that zombies are particularly popular, lately.

Therefore, I’ve decided to develop a definition called ‘Zombie Idiotism’.

What is Zombie Idiotism?

Well, you know how are zombies shown in all the movies? Moving around, without any particular order, babbling incomprehensible things, and getting shot to pieces?

That’s what I’m meanwhile associating with the behaviour of our ‘Western’ politicians in regards of (not only) their foreign policies.

Here is a good example. Zombie Idiotism is increasing military aid to Israel by 10-30 times in six months (depending on the country in question: the USA made over 100 arms transfers during this period, without any kind of public debate; Germany is doing its utmost too, followed by India, South Korea, etc.) - all in order to enable and wholeheartedly support a genocide of Palestinians. While, and at the same time:

- 1.) complaining about Ukrainian UAV strikes on the Russian oil refineries, because this 'might damage the markets', plus
- 2.) NOT sending anything at all to Ukraine (not even urgently necessary artillery ammunition)
- 3.) while own arms factories are idling, i.e. manufacturing at only a fraction of their potential capacity.

Shall I take Raytheon as example?

That's the corporation manufacturing MIM-104 Patriot SAMs.

According to the President of Raytheon Land & Air Defense Systems, Thomas Laliberty, the factory has a capacity of manufacturing a complete MIM-104 'battery' per month. Would mean: twelve per year (in digits: 12).

However, presently, for this year it's planning to manufacture only five (in digits: 5) for Switzerland, plus two, perhaps three (in digits: 2-3) replacements for batteries sent to Ukraine the last year.

Additional to that, the US Army has some 600 launchers (mind: launchers, no ‘batteries’ as some say) for MIM-104s stored, 'surplus to requirement' and short of being destroyed.

....which actually means: Raytheon needs manufacturing only new radars, engagement control stations and missiles - and Ukraine could get plentiful of additional MIM-104 Patriot batteries (even more so considering the PSU is NOT deploying them as 'complete batteries', but breaking them down into single firing units, usually consisting of 1 radar, 1 ECS, and 1 or 2 launchers)...

…all provided anybody there in Washington D.C. would ever come to the idea to issue a corresponding order.

...which would be urgently necessary, as dramatically shown by latest Russian attacks on Kharkiv and Dnipro, just for example. Not to talk about the fact that according to Zelensky, PSU has only enough SAMs left for about a month longer.

For similar reasons, the production of new missiles is ‘increasing at leisure rates’. See: Raytheon is currently manufacturing 240 PAC-2 GEM-Ts a year, and planning to increase that to 420 a year - by 2027 (this model is manufactured for export customers only). PAC-3 MSEs are manufactured at 500 rounds a year: the rate is going to reach 650… your bet: by 2027…

Why make more?

There’s no urgency at all…

What a surprise then when the State Department (Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the USA) - the body where officials are quitting in droves in outrage over Biden's support for Zionist genocide on Palestinians (here’s just one example) - placed an order for an emergency delivery of parts for MIM-23 HAWK SAM-systems.

Read: the State Department began acting on its own, bypassing a corrupt, incompetent and idle administration, Congress etc…

(Why corrupt? Because Biden is the biggest receiver of sponsoring by different 'PACs', Zionist sponsoring bodies buying influence in the US politics [the most powerful of these is the AIPAC]. Though, if you think the PACs are paying Biden a lot: wrong! Since 1990, they've sponsored him with about US$ 4.3 million. So, now you know the price tag of a genocide, too....)

....meanwhile, Ukrainian air defences are so short on missiles that in the Bakhmut area of the last few days, Su-25s of the VKS were seen free to fly _direct air strikes_ (none of usual 'spray and pray' BS) at an altitude of 100 metres, as obvious from the following video still...

...but, please: go on and tell me I'm wrong, an ‘anti-Semite’, ‘hate Israel’ - and there's nothing like ‘Zombie Idiotism’ in power. Indeed: it’s voters who are to blame…

After all: ignoring reality and espousing nonsensical science fiction is another of popular phenomena of modern times….
