History lesson from Soviet (Communist) Russia

The Cold War-Igniting the “Long Telegram”

Two weeks after Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin delivered a jarring election speechabout the evils of capitalism, the acting U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union, George F. Kennan, weighed in on the matter with an unusually lengthy telegram to the U.S. Department of State on February 22, 1946.

Often mistakenly said to total more than 8,000 words — although still a whopper at something closer to the 5,500-word mark — the so-called “Long Telegram” outlined its author’s views of USSR leadership as “impervious to logic of reason” and “highly sensitive to logic of force,” from which “no permanent peaceful coexistence” could be forged.

Coupled with the follow-up explanations in his 1947 article “The Sources of Soviet Conduct” for Foreign Affairs magazine, Kennan’s analysis became the basis for a decisive American policy stance that ignited the Cold War and shaped geopolitics for the next half-century.

Unlike us, Communists are in it for the long haul, like the Muslims are into world domination forever, hundreds and thousands of years of constant gnawing.

The Socialists have highjacked the Democratic Party.

Remember that Vladimir Lenin, a founder of Communism says that the goal of Socialism is Communism.

And, nothing has changed: They are impervious to logic of reason” and “highly sensitive to logic of force,” from which “no permanent peaceful coexistence” could be forged.

Witness today that they are stuck on stupid like a broken record since the election with their RESISTANCE, and violence including towards ICE, and Law Enforcement, to keep their beloved illegal criminals in America vs. Deported.

This is what we are up against, the never ending war against the witless, impervious to logic of reason.

Well said Frank, and excellent points. I was thinking about this a few minutes ago as I was responding to a post by Robert.

Most of us have no interest in controlling others and amassing power. The majority of people just aren’t wired that way, but I believe it’s a slim majority. Throughout history, there have always been way too many people who make it their life goal to gain power over others. Call it a brain defect, narcissism, whatever. It’s easy for regular folks going about their daily lives, in this country where our founders gave us the best protection possible against those people, to think that that those kinds of people are threats for other places, not here.

Everyone needs to remember that nearly every single modern dictator was elected. Hitler was elected. So was Castro, Stalin, Mao, and on and on. They talk the good talk about democracy and the people and bla bla bla, and before anyone knows it they’ve built a socialist then military, then communist system that ensures the peoples’ dependence and their own power.

The left wants to create a dependent society, full of illegals loyal to the people that brought them here rather than the country, and full of welfare dependents loyal to their weekly check. The right wants to create a strong working base, with no handouts to able bodied people, and open elections. Remember, the democrats have not held a fair or un-rigged (or even had one) presidential primary in, what, 16 years?

The left was crying about all the people who might lose free medicine and food in the Big Beautiful Bill, but who were whose people? Only able-bodied people who can go to work. Is an administration that is promoting self reliance, personal independence and a free market economy really a dictatorship?

Have you spoken with Don and Karacal about this plan? I believe they live in your proposed kingdom. I will say, your plans for California and security seem very reasonable. I expect our Southeastern kingdom can negotiate good terms for peaceful trade and joint security.

I appreciate all your concerns for Mi Familia’s SAFETY!
As much as The ‘Benevolent Dictator’ (Enzo) sounds appealing
We in ‘Nuevo Mexico’ have decided we shall ‘Self Govern’ from here on.
As the old saying goes exchanging One Dictator for another is just Stoopid!.
(Who said that Don?----um, I just did! weren’t you payin’ attention? Sheesh!)
I let my Gator’s free and they got HUGE! from the confines of the Moat!
