The Russia/Ukraine conflict is nothing but a big turf war between gangs. The main players, who are never exposed or reported on, understood NATO would be more than insulting Russia by allowing Ukraine to join their gang, but were being leveraged by Russia's independence without their control. They knew the only way to possible keep their control was to stir the pot, cause a war, try to cripple Russia, and hope the all out world war would keep them in power.
So far, it looks like the turf war is not going as expected. Russia is trudging along, the NATO countries are finding their incompetence is glaringly apparent, and the other gang (China) is out to claim some more turf. So, what happens? In the long run, those in power that are never exposed or reported on, will get richer, the media will continue to report only what they're told to report, millions will die from outright war or poverty, and the world will continue to turn.
Meanwhile, in the United States, most of the citizens will not even notice how much of their wealth disappeared, their liberties removed, and those in power that are never exposed or reported on are still calling the shots. The highest officials are buffoons, the military leaders are brown nosing traitors, and politicians, as usual, are nothing but word-merchant puppets hoping to get rich while supposedly representing their constituents.
Possibly, Jess... but I might disagree.
ReplyDeleteI see Russia as a changed nation. Contrary to the Legacy Media these guys are no longer the autocratic thugs, drunks, and villains of the Cold War. They tried for at least 7 years to solve their differences with the west peacefully at the negotiating table. Most of their grievances are legitimate and valid.
They may lag slightly behind us technologically speaking, but they can counter our expensive wonder weapons with cheap, mass produced bargain basement ones.
The world is changing, and I sincerely believe we have greviously underestimated the Russians and overestimated ourselves and our abilities. I hope I am wrong, but I see a reckoning coming... and more than likely we will deserve it. We are electing vegetables, perverts, and criminals to lead us, and they are may prove to be as bad or worse than Stalin, Hitler, or Pol Pot. History will not judge us kindly.
Russia is going through a power struggle. In the end, they'll always be independent from the rest of the power mogul that influence the rest of the world.
DeleteA government by the least competent, based on their ideology.
ReplyDeleteThat's what it is, and becoming worse.
DeleteA turf war? Maybe. But a turf war that can lead to TEOTWAWKI.
ReplyDeleteTo me, the largest of international conflicts are the same as the turf wars in larger cities. Decency, respect of law, the slaughter of innocent people, and lack of morals appear in both conflicts, and the results are only different in the size of the carnage.
