Passive..
Passive aggressive behavior is a pattern of behavior where instead of expressing negative feelings directly, an individual communicates them through subtle actions.
There's a dissonance between what they're saying and what they're doing. One common example most are familiar with is saying, "I'm fine," or "It's fine, I don't care," but then continuing to act upset and behave with anger or coldness.
A more difficult-to-spot form of passive aggression might involve an individual purposefully sabotaging a plan they said they supported. Passive aggression tends to come with hostility and bitterness toward the requests of others, intentional mistakes or delays when completing these requests, a cynical and pessimistic demeanor, and frequent complaints about being deceived or underappreciated.
While this behavior isn't considered a distinctive mental illness, it can be a sign of multiple mental disorders.

Damp..
Tesla CEO Elon Musk blasted Joe Biden during an interview this week, saying the president is someone who just reads off a teleprompter and that his administration has failed to get much done.
“It’s hard to tell what Biden is doing to be totally frank,” Musk said
Musk, who says he has overwhelmingly voted for Democrats, has repeatedly criticized the president. He has seemed to be irritated by the fact that Biden has hosted several electric vehicle makers at the White House, but has excluded Tesla. In an email to CNBC in February, Musk accused Biden of ignoring Tesla in favor of legacy automakers.
Musk, in a tweet, called Biden a “damp sock puppet in human form.”
Just a thought.
Efforts..
The current runaway inflation is not the same as the one of the Seventies, during the Carter's Administration. This time inflation is happening as a result of massive decisions of this Administration in their attempt to eliminate fossil fuel without renewable energy ready infrastructure.
That compounded with the Sanctions applied on the Russian economy as a result of the Ukraine's war. As a result Russia also applied sanctions on other countries and the outcome is grim.
Last, the USA support of the Ukraine with military equipments will not end these disaster quickly. US wants the war to continue for generation but that will continue the suffering of people in many countries. Just a thought.
A lot..
The US could see fuel shortages this summer once people start taking their vacations — and Europe could take a particular hit from the lack of supply, the head of the International Energy Agency Faith Birol has warned.
Birol also told the German newspaper that the energy crisis now underway will be more severe.
"Back then it was just about oil," "Now we have an oil crisis, a gas crisis and an electricity crisis simultaneously."
Oil prices spiked in 1973 and 1979 as the Yom Kippur War and the Iranian Revolution interrupted Middle Eastern crude exports.
Geopolitical events have hit the market again in 2022, as western nations impose sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The Western Countries, US in particular, are searching for sources of energy from anywhere in the world. Forget about Biden's promise " No Drilling, Period"
Fan..
Why is it that the USA wants the Russia/Ukraine war continues till Ukraine complete destruction?
Why is it the USA is sanctioning the Russian people to destroy their economy and in the process create food shortage around the globe?
Any reason at all. Just a thought.
Firebug..
The pair of radical lawyers who torched an empty NYPD vehicle amid protests in Brooklyn over the police killing of George Floyd pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in a deal struck with federal prosecutors.
The firebug attorneys, Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman, each copped to counts of conspiracy to commit arson and to make and possess an unregistered destructive device for firebombing the police van in Brooklyn on May 30, 2020, a spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office said.
Under the plea deal cemented, prosecutors will not seek the enhancement, and will request for a maximum sentence of two years in prison.
What a way to hate, and a way to waste one's life.
Splintering..
The Russian war with Ukraine wasn't a swift military strike, but this war has already been a success. The global economy is splintering, and the West’s conflicting imperatives as well as those of the developing world are slowly revealing themselves.
When it comes to imposing energy sanctions with teeth, Germany and Italy are dependent on Russia for roughly half of their natural gas imports and don’t have the infrastructure to implement a quick substitute.
Berlin has even drawn up a three-phase plan if Russian gas is turned off, telling carmakers they may have to shut production lines to ensure families can heat their homes over winter. The Bundesbank has warned of recession if supplies are cut.
Italy has started rationing energy in public buildings. And France is equally leery, knowing from the Gilet Jaunes (yellow vests) protests the kind of social unrest that can result from high fuel prices. While Europe’s biggest powers say they plan to wean themselves off Russian imports, they need time. Hence renewed attempts to negotiate a ceasefire, even if it means asking Ukraine to cede even more territory to Russia.
Across the English Channel and beyond the Atlantic, the economic consequences of the war with the inflation taking over, are looking just as critical.
The US is unwavering in its support for Ukraine’s resistance, supplying arms and munitions promises a bonanza for its powerful military industrial complex, while Americans struggle with oil, Gas and food higher prices and food shortage, This Administration is playing a dangerous game with people's life impacting the whole world as economic destruction is happening such a scary way. Just a thought.
