Twisted
I know the world’s a twisted place an’ all that. I know that cruel ironies and twisted contradictions just come with the territory of capitalism and imperialism. But am I the only who thinks that this just takes it to a whole new level of twisted?
Country A expedites sale of laser-guided 5,000 lb bombs to country B so that country B can use them in a timely fashion to flatten large areas of country C. Country A then offers country C $30 million to ‘ease the suffering’ of civilians caused by the bombs that country A sent to country B the day before.
Postscript:
It has come to my attention that an airport in another country, let’s call it country D for the sake of clarity, has been found to be the transit point for Airbus A310s stuffed with GBU-28s being sent in rather unseemly haste from country A to country B for dropping on country C. Airstrip One anybody?
and but ONE nation state - Norway - calling in the ambassador of country B to protest its terrorist acts … yes twisted

True. Although China has now called in the Israeli ambassador in Beijing, but only because one of its nationals was killed in the recent bombing of the UN observers’ post.

What is the end result? Country A gains access to markets of Country B and C, as well as holding favorable position in the markets due to the debt owed by B and C to A.
WHAT A JOKE.
