On top games and worm can openers

What I like the most about LA protests of the weekend is that these brought absolutely no obstacles to the FIFA Club World Cup soccer match in Pasadena nearby, between UEFA Champions League title holders, PSG, and Atlético de Madrid, three-times Champions Cup/League runners-up.

It means that folks have not (yet) lost their sanity over this shitfest, unlike, say, infamous Dinamo Zagreb–Crvena Zvezda Belgrade soccer match riot in 1990, which is believed to have sparked the Yugoslavia breakup. Also, kudos to hosts for the placement of such an impressive top match opener in the time slot suitable for us across the pond.

Despite the fact that I’m of Russian ethnicity, I don’t wish the modern US a civil disturbance or conflict of the scale that plagued us in the Eastern Bloc before my birth and for some time after, in 1990s and 2000s. Just a decisive purge of neocons and some of the most radical progressives in the Dem Party would suffice. But, like I repeatedly noted, the time is ripe. They simply can’t cope with the unipolar moment legacy, and the aggressive foreign policy it was fueling, anymore.

Meanwhile, the Russian flag is timely added, so as to form a stylish variant of the joint banner of the CoDominium. Note that they have written “our nations flag,” in the plural. Coincidence? I think not!
