Real life war games…

It's no more war games on videos for the two overgrown kids. It's an actual 'war game' now, sending real projectiles at one another while eating ice cream and cookies. While one says 'bang, bang'…the other says 'Cowabunga' and both clap their hands in unabashed jollity.

Yes, it's merry-making time. It's playtime for the two men who warm the seats of the president with their unpopular posteriors. The president of the mighty country became overwhelmed when he discovered that it was not in a Hollywood movie but in real life that he can simply push a button and send off an armada of warships towards an "enemy" country to scare the sh…t out of that 'disobedient' leader who dares to scare him with a missile that went kaput on launch.

"I need an enemy and there he is! Send an aircraft carrier there, damn it", he hollers. "Ah, look at them ships sailing through the waters! Ain't that beautiful, buddy? My fellow good countrymen, isn't this what you wanted to see? Isn't this what you have been waiting for? War, war, war, beautiful war."

He smiles and winks at the TV camera. (End of a cartoon script)

Fun and pun apart, the US president thinks a "major conflict" with North Korea is possible though he would "prefer" diplomacy to solve the problems! Diplomacy when his fingers are itching to press that red button? Well, we have to wait till the last minute to know what is actually cooking in Trump's war room.

Trump seems to be playing the same card again and again. Listen to what he told Reuters:

"There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely. We'd love to solve things diplomatically but it's very difficult."

Well, how do you know that it's difficult? Have you given diplomacy the time and a chance to be successful? Did you send an armada of battleships to the Korean Peninsula to invite Kim Jong Un aboard for a cup of coffee and sign a Treaty like that which happened during the time of the famous Atlanta Treaty? Now, listen to his twaddle.

"I believe he [the Chinese president] is trying very hard. He certainly doesn't want to see turmoil and death. He doesn't want to see it. He is a good man. He is a very good man and I got to know him very well."

Very funny! He gets to know the Chinese president "very well" in a couple of days and certifies that he is a "very good man!" Here is more of the baloney:

"With that being said, he loves China and he loves the people of China. I know he would like to be able to do something, perhaps it's possible that he can't."

What on earth does that mean…perhaps and then possible that he can't?

Interestingly, China played it cool like a pro and neither confirmed or refused exerting any noticeable pressure on North Korea. It did support UN sanctions on that country but remained tight-lipped about any other measures it might consider against North Korea if it went ahead with its nuclear programme. Time will tell, but meanwhile the world feels unsafe with those lethal weapons in the hands of the two powerful men in possession of overblown egos.

These are not good times. When supposedly mature people take killing humans as a sport and spend trillions of dollars for developing the finest of killing weapons or 'mother of all bombs' to destroy lives and habitats, we tend to lose our faith in the teachings of the prophets and saints who taught us exactly the opposite.

When these bomb makers and sly politicians come out of their prayer halls and unshakably drop bombs on hospitals, schools and residential houses of the 'enemy' country, those God's houses look so devoid of godliness.
