curveballs
Curveballs have a spin added in order to cause the path of the ball to behave undexpectedly.
Spin was not recently invented, nor were cons, disinformation, faking, etc..
It is easy to discern the obvious first order effects but this is far deeper than that. The United States has been spun out of control. Iraq was a first order target to lure the defense war industry and it's backers. The second order target was this country. Con men and psychopaths are rather easy to con and manipulate once you understand their motives and what they want to hear since they are fairly two-dimensional.
They still don't understand.
Who won the war?
We didn't.
The Sunnis didn't.
Who own's the debt?
Who supplies Iran?
Who wins no matter what happens?
The people in the State Department are probably too stupid to answer this question, or they know well enough to keep quiet lest they be fired.
"The Art of War" was written a long time ago. Apparently no one in the government has ever heard of it. I guess the brass in the pentagon hve heard of it, but it is doubtful that they could grasp it if they read it. Sure they can play a number on the Shia and the Sunni, but they cannot imagine that the same is being done to them.
Toys don't win wars, brains do.
Don't worry about the curveballs, the screwballs are a far greater problem. Too bad that it is too late to do anything about it.
