| | | I read the reply written to your post by didjuneau ( Message 33803707 ) and I think it’s an excellent, thoughtful reply. I would just add that - yes, if you wake up one day and find out that European country X invaded their neighbors, country Y - and blood is spilling — it does sound crazy. But, looking from the time when the USSR fell apart - there were plenty of agreements made, including promises that NATO will not expand to the East - all of them broken. Dozens of countries to the East consequently joined that military alliance - and Ukraine was only the latest step. Things are far more complicated than at the first glance.
Spengler wrote in 2014-15 that if Ukraine joins Nato, the European part of Russia would become virtually indefensible by using conventional weaponry.
Right now, there are reports that several US think tanks are developing plans of splitting Russia into several smaller jurisdictions. And, they didn’t start developing those plans in the last couple of months. Russia is a huge thorn in the side of the Globalists - because they are too familiar with communistic solutions - and would have no part of something like the Claus Schwab’s One World BS. Therefore, the plan is to damage them - and hopefully, break them up into smaller countries - so they never come back as a significant power.
Which is precisely what Zbigniew Brzezinski advocated decades ago. There is nothing new about this strategy.
War is a great tragedy for millions of people. Causes for this one were pestering for many, many years - including 8 years of an actual shooting war in Donbas - which, apparently, was in the process of getting worse. I just hope that the whole thing gets settled without escalating into a global disaster.
People seem to be - irrationally, in my view - convinced that a serious transcontinental nuclear war is impossible. I think the odds for military use of nukes right now are the highest they’ve ever been since 1945. The Cold War was far less dangerous. At the very least, there was mutual respect - and an understanding that neither side wanted a big war. Today, there is no respect and zero understanding. Just assumptions by bureaucrats — and primitive, propaganda-driven psychoanalyzing. Very, very dangerous. |
