Non-barking @
Clumsy title, but I can't find a more graceful sentence form. This time the salient event isn't the lack of barking, it's the lack of barking AT a particular target.
I was reading an article about Studebaker's Dictator model in the '20s and '30s. The author was puzzled as usual about American acceptance of the name. As usual I was thinking: No puzzle. Americans were NON-INTERVENTIONIST and NON-IDEOLOGICAL at that time. We minded our own business and didn't expect the world to copy our thoughts exactly. We understood that PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, and we also understood that the proper role of government is to PROTECT AND ADVANCE THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE. Dictators were doing the job well in some countries, so we found the title admirable.
At that time Italy was not a threat of any kind to America. Italy was a threat to Libya. (Contrast left as exercise for reader.)
Wait! Italy is not a threat to America now, but Salvini IS a meddler and hacker and interferer in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS PUTIN.
Mueller defined a traitorous conspiracy as "favoring non-Hillary candidates and disparaging Hillary." Not my parodic misinterpretation, his explicit LEGAL definition. Disparaging Hillary is MEDDLING HACKING INTERFERENCE CONSPIRACY TREASON WAR.
Salvini is MEDDLING in the same way that Putin and Orban are meddling. All are providing an EXAMPLE of governments that serve their people, which we can compare with our dysgovernment that is busy SLAUGHTERING US by the
million and EXTERMINATING other countries by the dozen.
Why isn't Deepstate barking at Salvini, who is closer to America ethnically and linguistically than Hungary and Russia? Lots of Americans are Italian, and very few are Russian or Hungarian. Italian culture and Italian food are mainstream American. Salvini should thus be seen as a more potent and more dangerous MEDDLER than Putin and Orban.
