The U.S. Empire is Under Big Mac Attack

Next week marks twelve years since the launch of Bush's Full Retard "war on terra", brought to you by Faux News. The attack on Afghanistan of course came directly after 9/11 - an event itself which was a direct result of Bush Senior leaving boots on the ground in Saudia Arabia, after the first Gulf War. In the Idiocracy one bad decision always leads to the next worse decision. No surprise, twelve years and untold trillions later and by all accounts "terra" is still not dead. Worse yet, it looks as though the Taliban and Al Qaeda have lost all fear for soft and decadent Western nations locked in Mortal Kombat with their own knife and fork...

The "War" is Over, Only Soft Brained Old Men Can't Admit They Lost Another One
Given that the Taliban and Al Qaeda have endured roughly twelve years and several trillion dollars worth of NATO's best ordinance, it seems like a good time to review who is winning this little "war" for the future of the planet. I suggest that having defeated the Soviets in the 1980s and now the better part of NATO, then the other side has more to show for the past several decades than we do. Islamists have increased their land holdings by over 9 million square miles since 1920 (Huntingon, Samuel, "The Clash of Civilizations and Remaking of World Order", page 84). They are now making renewed incursions into Mali, Sudan, Niger - and of course Kenya. The Islamists are fighting a classic guerrilla war of resource attrition, and succeeding handily. Vietnam gave them a template for sure-fire success. Ludicrously expensive modern military kit is a major liability in a prolonged guerrilla war - a fact lost on the Pentagon, but not on the Taliban. There are many valid strategic and tactical reasons for the West's inability to fend off these incursions, however, I can't help but think that the major overriding issue is that each side is fighting by a different set of rules - also a key factor in Vietnam. The Western armies hold themselves accountable to an arbitrary set of "civilized" war rules - if such a thing even exists. Granted, it's a totally fucked up set of rules, whereby prisoners must be well-treated, whereas land mines, cluster bombs, napalm, and B-52s carpet bombing entire countries are no problem. Meanwhile, the Taliban, like the Viet Cong before them are uncouth barbarians willing to do anything to succeed. They are not concerned about the "optics" of warfare or how it will look on CNN. However, the other factor largely at work is that they view a society that has to use unmanned drones to do its dirty work, as soft and decadent. They are not  afraid of the soft man boys they see on Western television requiring pallets full of boner pills just to keep an erection. As indicated by the original post below, I submit that we will have to find a way to reverse the alarming trend by which men are turning into women, before gaining any territory back. However, at risk of stating the obvious, on the other side of the inevitable economic return to reality, there won't be trillions of dollars available for multi-decade military blunders, especially when the homeland itself is at ever-increasing risk from home grown zealots. Therefore, U.S. troops will be withdrawn, leaving the entire Middle East to the new barbarians.

"Boyz to Bitches"
Nature has ways of dealing with mankind's stupidity. From the environment, the economy, or our own personal health, our overwhelming impulse is to run and hide like little children. Forget about the "distant" threat of Global Warming, how many men have confronted the fact that "success" is turning them into women?

I just started reading the book "Testosterone Transformation".  The very first chapter starts out with "Your Gut Is Turning You Into A Girl". Then it goes into the chemistry behind why belly fat kills testosterone levels and why overall testosterone levels have collapsed like a cheap tent over the past few decades.

Here is another excerpt, this one from Chapter 3:
"It’s what every man strives for: the big-money job, the big house with the three-car garage, the Sub-Zero fridge stocked with delicious food, a kegerator in the media room, and enough play money to eat at fine restaurants a couple times a week. We want to have what we want instantly, do as we please, and take what we deserve. After all, that’s what being a man is all about, right? Winning big."

"And you are living that dream, for the most part. As nearly a billion people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water, you’re worrying about which case of microbrew to buy for your tailgate party. While 2.6 billion people around the globe try to cope with lacking proper sanitation, you’re busy installing a flat-screen TV next to your dual-flush commode. But don’t feel guilty for having more than the rest of the world. Count your blessings but also recognize that we are paying a price for the luxuries of the Great American Lifestyle. Our debt is unhealthy stress, excess body weight, obesity, mental-health disorders, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To paraphrase this last section: "you, the successful alpha male, need not feel guilty for your success or attendant conspicuous consumption, however be aware that the price of enjoying that success is obesity, heart attack, stroke, dementia - finally, transforming you into a little bitch..."

Like I said at the beginning of this post, nature has ways of dealing with mankind's excesses. There can be no better way for nature to make rampaging alpha males extinct, than to turn them into obese women. And it's no coincidence that the U.S. Dept. of Defense just allowed women in combat roles for the first time ever. They see where things are headed and are just getting ahead of the curve.

Let's hope the Taliban doesn't take notice.
