You Get the Pictures and I'll Get You the War

William Randolph Hearst may have been invented the long-standing and highly ignoble tradition of media-invented wars and we rather enjoy that here at the Rockhouse as well.  (Ithaka: That's Enough Serious, Let's Start a War)

In the previous effort toward warmongering, it was limited to the Middle Eastern theater but that's so limited when our preference is global anarchy and a complete breakdown of civilization as we know it ... but ... it will look so cool on TV until it gets here.


Obama thought everything was under control in North Korea because he had his eyes on those sneaky Commie bastards.


There you have it, Mister President.  Those filthy Commie bastards are in exactly the same place as the were last week and fifty years ago.  We figured out the answer to a Military Perpetual Motion Machine:  we never do anything but say we did.

That's very clever, General Calamity.  I hope I pay you well.


But the North Koreans had their eyes on him too, mostly for tourist photos.


Dim Lo:  he is dark like us.  Why does he give us shit?

Dim Hi:  capitalists are always confused.  Remember the words of the Chairman.

Dim Lo:  how about if I throw a grenade into the DMZ and say the Americans did it.  We will be on TV for weeks and get lots of girls.

Dim Hi:  you're lucky you're not in America because they have cameras everywhere and listen to everything you say.  Already you would be going to jail for saying that.


That picture was enough of a reason for Obama to start a war since he was damned if he would be relegated to tourist pics and selfies by damn North Korean militarists.   I'll start the war and let that cow, Clinton, finish it.  Let's see her squirm after she gave me so much shit.


Clinton:  Greetings, my friend, Vlad.

Putin:  you piss off Kim Jong Un.  He come to me.  Wants for to mooch weapons.  I don't need his shit either.  He is fucking psychopath.

Clinton:  we can work on this together to prevent a nuclear confrontation.

Putin:  To yest dermo

Clinton: (turns) What did he say?

Aide:  he said, "That's crap, Madam President the Imperious."

Clinton:  thank you.  Now go away.

Putin:  I give Kim Jon Un plenty weapons like you give NATO.  Have nice day.  Go yebat sebya!

Clinton: (turns) What did he say?

Aide:  he said, "Go fuck yourself, Madam President the Imperious."


This is perfect but it's limited until China and Russia get fed-up and then Korea becomes a wasteland just like the Middle East only colder and possibly more radioactive.

Think of the television.  We aren't copying the Bond movie to take control of it, we just want to watch.


We want more and the South China Sea gives it to us since one of the hotshot pilots finally makes a mistake and fires a missile.  Tensions escalate and both sides send in aircraft carriers with their battle groups.

There is high confidence here in the Rockhouse this could grow to engage the entire Western Pacific Theater in combat but China doesn't want a nuke war so that one should stay conventional but with a whole lot of high-tech explosions, aerial dogfights, and all the delights of a modern war rather than turkey shooting people in Toyota pickup trucks in the Middle East.


China gets so pissed off about the contested islands and the combat which comes around them that they start supplying North Korea along with Russia so there probably won't be enough left of it for charcoal for your barbecue.  America won't give up its bases in South Korea so that gives the potential for a really glorious possibility which goes right up to global thermonuclear war.

We have waited all this time for one.  Let's fuckin' do it.


How bad could it be?
