Yes, the Western World must pay "protection money" to the blackmailing gangsters in the East,.. or they might start selling nuclear bombs to our enemies,.. and maybe point a few more missiles in our direction. The neighborhood protection racket has grown to world proportions as technological advances scream ahead. It may backfire on Moscow. If they screw their buyers, (as all gangsters do from time to time) they may swallow a few nuclear blasts themselves in retaliation. Maybe I should spruce up that old bomb shelter in the back yard. Was thinking of moving to the big city, but maybe its safer being in the backwoods. Now where did I bury that gold???
