Are babies addictive? Should they be given a ‘class 1’ rating? Like heroin and cocaine? Have they set up support groups for tragic grandparents who swoon over any and every photo of their sleeping progeny? “My name’s Andy and I haven’t seen my grandchild for 35.72 hours”; “HELLO ANDY!!!!”.

Because last night I went to tai chi. I needed to get in touch with my spiritual side, fire up my energy levels and also to kick the shit out of something. Done that. Job done. Now where’s my baby?

Thankfully she’s in London. Safe and sound as you are anywhere in this semi-horrible world. Unlike the babies in Syria. 27 of whom died in Tuesday’s diabolical chemical bomb attack on a ‘rebel-held’ town. ‘Rebel’ means ‘anti-Assad’. Their president. Killing people. Killing babies.

The UN will probably start ‘talks’ over this next September. They’re too busy issuing resolutions against Israel. Russia are Assad’s mate, ally and probably supplied the planes and the chemicals. So its left to John Wayne, sorry, to Donald J. Trump, to take action. Which came in the form of an air-strike on the airfield from which the chemical attack came.

Assad has, meanwhile, denied the attack. No mate, weren’t me. Was some other geezer with access to fleets of military bombers and chemical weapons. Everyone has those round my way.

So America condemned Russia for being in some way ‘complicit’, which they undoubtedly war. Doing nothing when you know what’s going on is a big crime. And Assad certainly has ‘form’. Bombing Gouta in 2013, killing 1300 people with ‘banned chemical weapons’.

Undisputed fact: Assad is the motherfucker’s scumbag.
UndisPutined fact: Putin could be worse.

Trump has been cosying up to Russia for some time. To ally himself with them against China. Which coincidentally is meeting him today in Florida. Well, not all 1.6 billion of ‘China’, just President Xi. (That’s pronounced ‘Zi’, not ’11’) And now Russia are pissed off with Trump for accusing them of complicity at worst, tacit negligence at best, in the chemical bombings.

Which puts me (yes, it IS always about me) on the verge of World War 3: The Big One.

Should we be worried? FUCK; YEAH. Though personally I’ll be fine, we do ‘self defense from nuclear weapons’ in tai chi. We have a ‘move’. But you? And more importantly, baby Lila???

Worrying Friday
