Russia is a crackhead

 I listed 25 things last night and found stuff to pack and take to the post office, then, exhausted, drank wine and watched YouTube and went to bed. 

I woke up at 3 and on the radio they were discussing Russia's reaction to the ISIS attack on some nightclub or something, that the US even warned them about. 

Russia is a crackhead. If you befriend a crackhead, if you even try to do a favor for a crackhead, you become the enemy. Give guitar strings to a crackhead, and you become the cause of all their troubles. 

Crackheads don't tend to understand that they burn their bridges with everyone, and thus have multiple enemies. So Russia's fighting with Ukraine, and can't comprehend that ISIS and the Muslim world in general are pissed off at them for the Chechen war and a multitude of other offenses. Ol' Paranoid Putin thinks it just has to be Ukraine, or the US, or something because he doesn't want to admit that just about everyone hates Russia these days. Only fellow pariah nations like Iran and North Korea are still their friends - the equivalent of the guy on one's Section 8 apartment building who's barely functional but will share some rot-got vodka and a toot or two on the crack pipe with ya. 

Sensible people, once they learn they've mistakenly interacted with a crackhead. simply go "NC" or No Contact as they say on Reddit on r/raisedbynarcissists. You simply cut off all contact. You'll still be blamed for things anyway as the crackhead's other enemies mess with them. 

The storm's stopped spinning so I might be OK going out on the bike this evening.
