Trump has asked for Peace Negotiations while simultaneously deploying troops to invade Iran . Here can be applied an idiom from the early 20th century : "White man speaks with forked tongue" which we want to believe originated in the voice of a Native American Chief, but, sadly, is instead attributed to an anonymous Hollywood screen-writer . {Thanks Google} . No matter its Origin, we have seen and heard putin claiming he, too, wants Peace talks while still bombing the fuck out of RESIDENTIAL Ukrainian CIVILIAN locations .
My Generation consistently heard our parents and other older ones spout, "He's talkin' outta* both sides of his mouth" . Denigration doesn't get any purer . "Saying one thing but doing another" was decried by the "Greatest Generation", a Generation that brought us "Truth, Justice, and the American Way ".
Oddly, there is a quiet passage in The Bhagavad-gita that cautions us to ACCEPT THE FACT THAT MERCHANTS >>>LIE<<< in order to promote and sell their wares . The Lying is, part and parcel, of Daily Life and the merchants themselves should NOT be excoriated for Conduct unbecoming an Honest Dealer . In America, "it soon came to pass" that politicians advantaged this non-challenging Acceptance of Falsehoods as a means to gain political office . Because political deception went un-challenged for so long, it was fucking INEVITABLE that Truth, itself, was transmogrified .
