Fiction Is Dangerous, Reality Is Safe And Easy

The foregoing is the root of USA Foreign Policy, and as such, correlate of the Primakov Doctrine as the root of Russian Foreign Policy.

George Orwell was a fiction writer. Lots of people let themselves get wrapped up in fiction, literary and otherwise, even though that causes unending confusion, fear, and grief. 1984 is a case in point, like Star Wars and Star Trek. It isn’t about reality at all. It’s all fantasy, fiction. Supposedly 1984 warned against Soviet Communism, Soviet-izing, and Socialism generally. It didn’t. It doesn’t. It can’t. It’s fiction, all made up, very attractive, scary fiction, with the attractiveness many find in ugliness.

But none of it is true. None of it lasts even as fiction. None of it is factual. The Soviet Union was not 1984. 1984 is fiction. (Ayn Rand wrote fiction in another part of the forest, none of it true, all collapsed in self-disgrace.). That is all fiction ever is. People today still think Orwell warns of some scary possibility just around the corner if we don’t . . . [fill in the blank], none of which helps one wit because it too is just fiction.

British and American troops are on the verge of Vietnam-scale casualties — within the first two weeks if not 72 hours of engagement — and Parliament and the US Capitol are on the verge of a 39-second warning before blow down because US-UK foreign policy establishment minions believe fictions they dreamed up and wrote about for each other, like Orwell, regarding Russia and their ability, nay, Providence-mandated right, to own Russia and piece out her wealth to their friends and relations.

Fictions are dangerous things. Only reality is safe. But people still love their fictions, until reality reminds them who’s true.

Didn’t Frankenstein arise from a group of fiction writers trying to scare each other? Something like that, IIRC? There’s a moral in there. Stick with reality. It’s easier to live with and a whole lot safer than fiction. Fictions closely held are at the root of many if not most marriage breakups, for example. I stopped reading Instapundit because Glenn and his cohort immerse their minds in fiction instead of reality.

Principle I

The United States have no authority in the domestic affairs of other nations and expect other nations to reciprocate by not feigning authority in our domestic affairs. The United States have interest in the lines of communication running between The United States and all other nations. We expect ourselves and other nations to bear fairly the burden of keeping those lines open, safe, reliable, fair, and clean for use by all nations.

Principle II

The United States welcome comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era with our brother nations India and Russia, for correlation, coordination, and promulgation, from their perspectives, of the ground of statecraft set forth in Principle I and urge Japan and Egypt to join us for that endeavor and commitment.

Principle III

An order to deploy which lacks or frustrates intent to compel an enemy to sign a declaration of unconditional surrender is an unlawful order by the Rules of Just War, the Conventions of War, Common Sense, and the Spirit of America. An order to deploy conveys this intent to the Commanding Officer: win this war / battle in a timely manner at the lowest possible cost to yourself and your enemy or do not come back alive.
