Wagner Kill Cycle
'On top of Russia already targeting civilian targets, I see the Ukraine War has sunk to new levels of depravity,’ said Janno. ‘RasPutin is now utilising the Wagner Group as mercenaries, a group made up of criminals including murderers, released from prison to fight.’
'So just like a Wagnerian Opera,’ replied Johno, ‘it unfortunately seems like this war is going to last for a very long time. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, the Wagner mercenaries are now shooting their own soldiers in public displays to their own troops, as a warning against any form of dissent. They also boast of torturing captives and deserters with sledge hammers, which has now become their sickening symbol.’
Alphy was yet again reminded of the contradictory nature of the Saps. He had been constantly impressed at the uplifting community action taken by Australians during a recent series of devastating floods, and yet there were ongoing wars constantly taking place around the planet. He had summed in up in a report back to AC, the Saps on the one hand can be compassionate and caring, and on the other, brutal and barbaric!
Johno continued, 'With the western world still humming and harring about whether to provide their latest tanks to Ukraine, most of the world-wide media is still constantly devoting their major reporting not on this issue, but bloody H & M! I’m an ardent republican, but please SPARE me from any more.
Just at that moment, Janno came back into the room, clutching a book she had just bought. ‘What are you reading?’ enquired Johno. Janno with an embarrassed smile held it aloft for him to see the front cover, emblazoned with a photo of H. ‘I don’t fucking believe it, you actually went and bought a copy!’ ‘Well, after having watched the Crown, I couldn’t resist reading an account from the ‘other side,’ she replied. Whilst he wouldn’t admit it, Johno knew he would take the opportunity to read it as well. ‘So Alphy, what do you reckon to the whole saga of the dysfunctional Windsor family?’ he enquired.
Back on AC, they had long since characterised societies based on Royalty, as inherently incorporating DNAstic degeneration.
'I think it says a lot about the current human condition, on a number of levels,’ said Alphy. ‘One being that ostentatious displays of self-entitlement are now considered the norm, not the exceptional.’
A broad smile came across John’s face. 'Unfortunately, with the forthcoming coronation of C, the never-ending pageant of the dysfunctional Windsors will erupt yet again. With the Murdoch media empire eagerly fanning the flames of righteous indignation, at the behaviour of H & M. I’m just waiting for the leaks saying, Lachlan thinks the Coronation would be an appropriate time for Rupert to abdicate, for another succession to take place.’
'Well I think Jerry Hall would agree with me, that whilst he may still be a media magnate, he sure ain’t a chick magnet,’ said Janno smirking. Kissing the cover of the book, she motioned towards the door, ‘now I must away, with my Prince Charming.’
'Yes, and we all look forward to the soon-to-be released book by the wicked step-mother, an updated version of the fairy tale The Frog Prince,’ said Johno.
