Luna is Latin for Moon. Lunatic is an insane person, once thought to be governed by phases of the Moon.

I am convinced Anna Paulina Luna, a republican representative from Florida, is a Lunatic. It has nothing to do with the Moon.

Here she is, calling for the end of the world as we know it.

Explaining her support for withdrawal of US troops from Syria, Rep. Anna Luna (R-FL) says the troops should be used instead for the coming "fight" with China — which "will require 100% of our military."

That is to say, criminal troops, because the occupation of eastern Syria is illegal. They are to be pulled, not because stealing oil and killing Syrians is wrong, but because they will be needed when the USG declares war (without congressional authorization) against China.

Luna, Lunatic, indeed.

Because we live in a nation afflicted by amnesia, the Pentagon believes it can get away with espousing the following nonsense.

US shocked by China's predatory takeover of Latin America

China is expanding its ability to extract resources and establish ports in Latin America, General Laura Richardson, head of the US Southern Command, told the US Congress on March 11, Infobae news agency reported. pic.twitter.com/acTAcBO0Yg

Naturally, no mention of SouthCom and its “theater architecture” in Latin America and the Caribbean, or its long history of military intervention, sponsored coups, training death squads, illegally financing murderous proxy thugs (the “Contras”), and supporting brutal dictators (for instance, Augusto Pinochet, Anastasio Somoza, General Castelo Branco, Jorge Ubico, General Manuel Noriega, Jorge Rafael Videla).

It began with James Monroe and his Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and was later codified (by partisan Democrats) as “Manifest Destiny,” an imperialist and expansionist policy supposedly endowed by USG “providence” (or “divinity”).

China has not established military bases in Latin America.

On the other hand…

Also left unmentioned —China has one military base beyond its borders, in Djibouti, in the Horn of Africa.

“There has got to be a role for China legitimately as an economic world power, but they’ve got to play by global rules,” declared Adm. Craig. S. Faller, SouthCom commander, in 2020.

Ah, yes. “Global rules,” the same “rules” stacked in favor of neoliberalism and the “exceptional nation,” by far the most aggressive, murderous, thieving, and as exemplified by Ms. Luna, criminally insane nation in the world.
