The Grouch Reads (once again)...
But this time he's reading The Czech Press (or at least one so-called "left" newspaper)...

and he's listening to the TV...

And he's noticed that someone is proud of weapons sales.  It's not just the disgraced ex-leader who was happy about selling high tech weapons to Afghanistan......

It's also the recent article bragging that Czech machine guns are superior to Kalishnikoffs,
but they use the same bullets, so they can be sold to Kurdish freedom fighters.

But, best of all, and proof that the grouch is not wholly insane was the editorial cartoon
in which a man said (to his wife, I presume) that the success of Czech foreign policy
was evident from the fact that parties on both sides of a conflict were using Czech machine
guns.

Now that's what I call progress.  Gee, who would dare say that capitalism just means more wars.....
