Sullying Space

"Guess what? You can't just call a hazmat crew, to come and clean this mess up. There is no space 'vacuum cleaner' to use. No 'clean up on aisle four'. Through their reckless abandon and foolishness, the Russians have created a real mess in outer space."

As most of us know by now, the Chinese are doing an excellent job in adding carbon to our atmosphere. Why? Reality. They are power poor in some parts of that giant country. To prevent anymore brownouts and blackouts, the ruling elite of China have decided to deep-six the cleanup agreements they made during the Paris Accord as well as COP 26. 

Like, now the Chinese may not be "carbon neutral" until 2060 - instead of 2050. They are also planning to build another 43 new coal fired power plants and 18 new coal powered blast furnaces. And their coal burning technology is nowhere near as "clean" as ours is. But who cares? It is China, and they are calling the shots. Meanwhile, Slo Joe is making this country more energy poor by the day. Making coal a four letter invective.

But enough about Mother Earth. We can all agree that China is putting "the turd in the punch bowl" down here? How about outer space? Can we at least find peace and cleanliness if we all lived on a space station, and escape this carbon hotspot? Nope. Not even close. Seems the Russians are up to their pesky tricks (again). By the way - what is it about these Commies? Can't they ever behave? If not the Chinese making out air dirty, it is the Russians now making outer space dirty.

Wait - how? Russia wanted to show off its new satellite killing technology. Like big deal - we have that also. But the Russians (as usual), threw caution to the wind and launched a "live round" into space. It hunted down a dummy satellite, and then blew it up. Success! Right? Not really. The satellite which was blown up, went from one piece, to a zillion. All floating around in space, ready to puncture holes in other satellites or even the ISS. How dumb was that? Very, very dumb.

Guess what? You can't just call a hazmat crew, to come and clean this mess up. There is no space "vacuum cleaner" to use. No "clean up on aisle four". Through their reckless abandon and foolishness, the Russians have created a real mess in outer space. What has our President said about this? Not much. Why not? Beats me.

This is our landscape, going into 2022. As we get poorer, the Commies do better. Instead of America first, like under Donald Trump, it is America chumps under Biden. The leadership vacuum created by our last election, has turned into a real windfall for Russia and China. Why? As the saying goes, "sand fills an open hole quickly". And with Biden, we have a huge open hole.
