Across the pond, sales of cord wood and coal are selling like hotcakes. Wood stoves are on fire. Down vests, mittens, down throws and woolens are flying off the shelves. Who is to blame for this sudden catastrophe? Surely, not climate change, can’t be global warming, but who has caused this demise? Is it Vlad the Impaler who has risen from the dead? Was his grave pierced allowing him to cause world havoc? Whatever the cause, Vlad is walking the earth once again, and he is on fire.

There is plenty of hot air to go around from the likes of NATO, the European Union and friends across the pond. Showing weakness in the face of force is akin to lying down for the trampling by the adversary. Vlad might not have planned it that way, but he is now in charge. The no-fly zone, that turned out to be the downfall of the West. 

Bombastic countries, Iran, North Korea, China saw the opening when Sleepy Joe existed Afghanistan resulting in twelve marines and one army person extinguished by the Taliban. But that is not all, Obama laid down like a cheap whore allowing Vlad to take Crimea. 

So let those who will freeze in Hell this winter remember that next time they should shoot first.
