The great thing about USA is that swarms of people can take whatever position they like, and there are the various constitutional amendments to enable them to maintain their constitutional rights to do what they like and say what they think. Made in China rules are more like Kim the Fatter's rules.
While USA's constitutional dependability has been greatly eroded, it's still excellent, relatively.
So it's great to listen to Sachs read out his statement about the Nordstream terrorist act. Russia is conducting a War on Terror - the terrorist war started by Nuland, Peace Prize Obama, Biden, Hunter and gang back in 2014 with the coup and killing associated.
There were actually swarms of people who thought the Russians dunnit to Nordstreams. I have two friends who think so. Crazy, but they don't care, and won't listen, or think. They're happy in their ignorance and just hate Russia in general and Putin in particular.
It's not new to me = the same process has happened all my life. Not many people have the wherewithal or self-confidence to determine a lot of complex stuff themselves = they outsource their thinking to the group or authority they favour and simply adopt that tribal identity and prefer to die with it than try to think for themselves or consider conflicting ideas.
Admittedly, we all have to do that for 99.99% of things as it's impossible to decide everything from first principles. So when I ask Google the melting point of something, I pretty much just go with whatever I get told. How far to the Moon? I accept the number given without much question. Did the Trojans fight the Romans? I have no idea but assume that Wikipedia has it near enough, even while knowing there'll be falsehoods lurking around everywhere.
But for such an end of the world, and oneself, and family, situation, a bit more thinking power should be applied.
It's crazy that Nuland, Biden and co-conspirators can simply state in public that they're going to destroy the pipeline and don't seem to think that anyone can do anything about it. Raw power, in your face.
And I guess most Americans think it a great idea to have done. The Stockholm Syndrome Germans seem to just accept the spousal abuse. I suppose USA can simply order Germany to start Barbarossa II and the Germans will meekly go ahead and be nuked. Norway has USA tanks locked and loaded and ready to roll down into Murmansk a short drive away.
The bet is obviously that Russia will simply roll over and unconditionally surrender.
I don't believe that will happen. I think there will be atomic bomb escalation. I watched Putin standing for minutes at the tomb before the invasion of Ukraine. Gulp!! His body language spoke like Dr Irwin Jacobs' body language when Bernie Schwartz was conducting the Globalstar opening ceremonies in Geneva in 1999 at Telecom99, urging Irwin to go ahead and churn out millions of Globalstar handsets. Irwin sat impassively. I was watching from behind.
Vladimir Putin years ago explained how military action is just mathematics = calculations lead to logical conclusions. He also [a different time] explained how he once cornered a rat and how it escaped. I believe he has calculated and in the game of atomic bomb "chicken", he has thrown the steering wheel out the window. So he is on a collision course to MAD and cannot change course or all is lost.
So it remains for USA to decide whether they want to go full MAD as that is the only way they'll be able to conquer Russia. Of course they can do it by way of non-nuclear attacks, but only if Vladimir doesn't escalate to atomic bombs, which he will have to do or be defeated and obliterated like Saddam Hussein, Milosevic and others who have stood in the way of USA megalomania.
At his border and in Ukraine, Putin can readily bring to bear a LOT of conventional military action. It's a battle for survival. The average fat Yank isn't in a battle for survival and has no idea where Ukraine is or why they're there and he sure doesn't want to be turned to incinerating adipose tissue for Hunter Biden's bribery and corruption, prostitutes and cocaine. The American soldiers won't be thinking it's a great idea to go nuclear with Russia.
Who has the most to lose? Russia or USA?
USA
340 million people with huge GDP [world champions]
Russia
150 million people with low GDP [third rate country with resources and agriculture]
USA
Secure home territory with no threats [immigrant invasion not counted = that's a choice]
Russia
Insecure huge borders with limited defence capability and nearly no global military strength.
Add to the USA value to be lost, 700 million Euroserfs also to be obliterated. 1.1 billion total NATO, 0.15 billion Russia [a tenth] with a tiny fraction of GDP.
So NATO has a huge amount to be lost, while Russia has a small fraction of that.
Russia has no choice but to fight or be conquered and that applied BEFORE 2022. USA has total choice = stop fighting now and nothing more happens. If Russia stops fighting now, NATO rolls over the top all the way to Moscow. China swarms in from the east. If USA/NATO stops fighting now, Russia will consolidate the eastern Ukraine provinces and get back to business, fix the Nordstreams, start trading with Eurostan and life can get back to normal.
But I guess that USA and Herr Gruppenfuhrer Stoltenberg, the 4th Reich with Ursula gloating like a maniac, Yulia, Victoria and the horrible harridan harpies will continue until the atomic bombs start going off. Then they'll reconsider, hopefully before a full scale release of everything goes MAD in the chaotic Armageddon panic.
I suppose Russia has an escalation strategy for atomic bomb explosions so that it's obvious where it's going before it's fully committed.
The loons like Ursula, DementiaJoe10%, horrible Lindsay Graham and USA warmongers don't have an off-switch, so it might be that they really will go full MAD. Human history has traditionally had horrific scale catclysmic catastrophic calamities, sometimes self-inflicted, going parabolically exponential to asymptotic hyberbole [mathematically speaking].
For example, the Taiping rebellion, Genghis Khan marauding all the way to Hungary and Turkey, USSR horrors by the 10s of millions, Mao's maelstrom, the 3rd Reich's population reduction. And everywhere in the world since forever ago.
I lived a charmed life in that grand scale calamity aspect, though not so good up close and personal.
As I wrote right here in SI in 2015 after the demise of Tarken, the Little Friend of All the World, his death was like a canary in the coal mine.
Will the USA/Eurostan publics demand a halt to Armageddon? It would be wonderful to have the criminal scum politician/WEF/UN gangsters thrown out of power but the corruption of the dependants of the welfare states has them prisoner so voting will probably keep the lolly scramble politicians in the manner to which they've become accustomed.
Hopefully Russia can bring sufficient strength to bear to hold the line in Ukraine without the need to escalate to atomic bombs around the world. With China, India and others helping, and Euroserfs being economically beaten up, Russia might actually succeed.
Putin threw the steering wheel out the window. Either NATO/USA will cease and desist, or MAD goes gigatonnage.
Hopefully the Americans and Euroserfs don't choose to die in a ditch fighting a Russian bear that they provoked, prodded and prepared to attack and did attack via proxy attacks in Eastern Ukraine [and Nordstream and the Crimean bridge, Moldova, what have you]. Hopefully some of them have heard of the 1812 Overture, the Charge of the Light Brigade, All Quiet on the Western Front, Barbarossa, and War and Peace, and decide that tormenting a bear is a bad idea. Cornering it in a ditch in a forest unwise.
