How It Started: Diplomats Were Definitely Laughing at Trump at the UN

The world, but Europe and the USA in particular seem to be suffering from a basic lack of competence in so many areas that it’s surprising when things actually get done.

When it comes to government and government employees and officials though they mostly seem to be in an incompetence league of their very own and blind to obvious realities.

Case in point…

HOW IT STARTED: Diplomats Say They Were Definitely Laughing At Trump At The UN – Via Buzzfeed, September 26 2018

“When Trump focused part of his Tuesday address on Germany and warned that “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course,” the German delegation was caught smirking on camera.

That was “scornful laughter, not nervous laughter. But there is a deeper point here: World leaders have worked out that trying to reason with Trump does not work. Trying to attack him often backfires. But laughing at him can defuse his attacks,” said Richard Gowan, a senior fellow at United Nations University.

Neither the German Mission at the United Nations nor the German Embassy in Washington responded to a request for comment.”

HOW IT’S GOING: Germans Attend ‘Blackout Courses’ as Energy Crisis Worsens Ahead of Christmas – Via Legal Insurrection, November 13,2022

“With Russian energy supplies drying out and nation’s gas reserves running low, most Germans seem to have to resigned to their fate, and are looking for ways to cope with the impending blackouts and power shortages ahead of Christmas, news reports suggest.

Many Germans are taking public courses on how to survive a dark and cold winter caused by the foolish climate and energy policies of their elected leaders. The French TV channel Euronews reported Saturday that “a growing number of Germans are turning to citizens’ courses to learn how to act if they find themselves plunged into darkness.”

The Euronews covered the surging interest in Germany for these “blackout courses”:

[A] growing number of Germans are turning to citizens’ courses to learn how to act if they find themselves plunged into darkness.

“If the electricity goes out then absolutely nothing works any more. And we need to understand what ‘nothing working’ really means,” said Birgitt Eberlin, an instructor at the Workers’ Samaritan Federation (ASB).

Simple tasks – from cooking a meal and keeping hydrated to caring for pets or ringing a neighbour’s doorbell – become major challenges. The German aid and welfare organisation offers free-of-charge courses on the subject on behalf of the BBK government agency for civil protection and disaster assistance.”

While I don’t feel too bad for the German people as they are getting the government they voted for and deserve, I am very concerned about the people of our own country because we are not far behind the German if things keep going in the same direction.

Biden and his fellow Democrats are determined to destroy the fossil fuel industry regardless of the economic costs and the folly of green energy.

Lets hope that the people of our country are not forced to take blackout courses anytime soon

As the old joke goes, what did socialists use before candles? Electricity.
