The question is why?
"If you aren't with us, you're against us." Aka we are going to smash you.
In my discussions with many people regarding the war on Russia, I observe [normally, in whatever discussion], that almost nobody is able to consider and discuss and that includes the "listen" function and if necessary change their minds or at least consider things of which they were admittedly unaware. They have a ready-formed opinion direct from TV and official statements. No extra information, thinking, ideas or discussion necessary or allowed.
Most recently yesterday with a long time British air force pilot of much seniority and status, regarding Ukraine/Russia
The discussion went pretty much as such discussions go. It's very easy to see why and how WWI got going, WWII carried on, and WWIII is being revved up to Armageddon. It's very strange because he/they cannot understand that that's what they are doing.
They are so imbued with the evil-doing of their opponents and their identity in their group-think gang of chimpoids, that stepping outside their identity is not possible. I guess that makes their powerful group identity successful - they outsource their thinking to the group/leaders and are fully committed without any need for thought. That would be successful when hunting in a pack. They simply launch into action, fully committed, so wringing their hands over-thinking things [to use that phrase that really annoys me and is popular these days] is counter-productive, distracting and a waste of time. Apostasy is not allowed. Blasphemy a crime. Catechism sacrosanct. Papal infallilbility is ubiquitous. Mohammed is as infallible. That's how autocrats roll. Kim the Fatter does not ask for his thinking to be corrected and imagine the fate of anybody who dared suggest an improvement. His half brother and uncle met the same fate as Saddam's sons in law who were tricked back into Iraq [I couldn't believe they were really going to return but they did, to the fate they were obviously going to get].
I have never been one for much in the way of identifying with groups and am more individual than pack animal in social hierarchy. I think that's why I see it so clearly. Also I have always been highly autonomous in my thinking and not particularly attached to any particular idea.
India,has gone rogue! They have dumped the British, USA, Eurostan, NATO gang. India prefers to buy from Russia, sell to China, import from Brazil, sell to whomever, than gear up for WWIII even while the bloody Made in China bosses are aggravating on the border and irritating in Burma.
The BBC has been Pravda of UK for decades now. LLL writ large.
Come to think of it, India has been going up in my ratings for decades. 25 years ago I considered that Bangalore could be turned into a World HQ. It's still far too kleptocratic and not a Free Enterprise friendly zone in which capital can freely roam. China has been vastly successful because Black and White cats had a free run for decades, unless the cats started getting a bit uppity, in which case the North Korean style smashing was brought to bear = see Hu Jintao get frog-marched off the scene, which was not exactly respect for one's elders. Maybe Mr Confucius wrote something about frog-marching senior respected elders to the old-people's home against their will and to demonstrate total power to all on-lookers.
Regarding your alleged antipathy to India [Haim's accusation = one of many he makes for some reason more to do with him than you it seems to me], I was unaware of that. Would you please tell me how you hate, despise, dislike, are disaffected by, indifferent to India? If Haim's right, I'm curious and who better to ask than you as you probably know your own mind better than Haim knows your mind.
