Could be, but the direction of travel in Ukraine is painfully clear even to the stupidest politicos
Yes, and most of them are really stupid or are so consumed by their own greed and ambition that they appear stupid.
Iāll try to remain temperate, Everyman - despite your arrogant reply - - though with regards to this:
Quite simply, I resent that comment.
I ātheorizeā, you ātheorizeā, most everybody theorises - but it seems some do so from atop a lofty steed - let me know where I can get one of those permits that enables one to bark down at folk from the elevated vantage point of a tall colt!
You seem to be saying that Iām just speaking for effect and I donāt care about the slaughter of people, when in fact opposing war has been one of the overriding mainstays of my life - my anti-war stance has coloured almost everything Iāve done since I was about 13 years of age. Like most sane people I utterly revile war, and celebrate most anything that ameliorates conditions for folk caught up in the playing-out of that evil control mechanism. So yes, when Russia intervened in Syria there was a sense of satisfaction here that there was seemingly some serious push-back against the Empire. But it was just more war. Normal people never win at war. Innocents are always harmed and brutalised by war. The only winners are the inhumans.
So, playing by your rules, how do you know Putin isnāt on the same team as Biden? Why are YOU so sure?
For sure, I must stop using words such as 'sure, and āmustā. But that said, we schlubs, scrabbling about in the foothills of the internet are able to pick-up some incredible information about big events such as ā9/11ā - apparently irrefutable facts that totally discredit the bullshit narrative that was formulated on the day; the story that still holds sway in the main. Now, it seems likely to me that if we can access the dynamite thatās in the public domain, then what of the knowledge availble to State actors of Putinās ilk - - do you imagine that heās akin to a mushroom like we areā¦ākept in the dark and fed shitā? Highly unilkely Iād say. Look, I listen to that which Putin and Lavrov have to say - and it does sound impressive - thereās no denying that - itās great to hear them talking about the insanity of Western leaders and how they do not act in the interests of Western populations. However, those of us that have been paying attention know that anyway. So in that sense, the Russians are a perfect foil for the Empire. We might giddyly latch onto the Russians because they appear to be opposing those we despise. But where does that leave us - - with yet more divisions - - we celebrate Russian intervention because itās violence we can support - Russian violence is justified violence because it sticks one on the inhumans - - - though in reality it doesnāt, it just gives the inhumans more of what they crave: more war. Remember, itās not the inhumans or there āloved onesā that are getting their ālegs blown offā. End of the day, what does it matter to the person with their ālegs blown offā whether it was a Russian or a Western munition that done it?!
I havenāt constructed anything of the sort. Iām just speculating - merely theorising. That I do so in a candid manner here on 5F is because I believe here Iām in the company of a group of people that are more or less on the same page as me. And I suppose youāre right to an extent about faith as a foundation. But thatās only because I do have faith in myself.
But above all Iām sceptical about State actors. I simply donāt trust them. Now if transpires that Iām wrong about that, and that some State actors are in fact āwhite hatsā, then Iāll happily eat my words.
I think you can bet a bob each way on Putin to be a real statesman, Si, rather than just another inittogether.
Though, as you describe, all any of us can do is to try to con-up the odds, and take a wager on whoās the best bet.
My - modest - stake would go on the Putin/Xi combo as being a true, and ultimately overwhelming, opposition to the globalist criminals and neocon loonies running the Anglozionist empire, and still deluding themselves about spreading its poisonous-parasite grip to the whole planet.
Cheers, RG - I sincerely hope that you are right.
It maybe the case that the extent of my cynicsim is over the top. If Iām proved wrong in my life time Iāll be the first to go a whooping ; )
I think the people you describe (pretty well-off middle classes) are are actually quite anxious and isolated. Their confidence and sense of security is mostly shallow. Take away any of their addictions (for want of a better word) cars, satnavs, iphones, medicines, ⦠and many of them will panic. Not to mention their jobs. If youāre surviving at the bottom youāre much more resilient, and less prone to panic.
I think their conformity stems from this.
Itās noticeable that in the small Romanian village where I often spend time during the summer, thereās far greater solidarity among the people. Theyāre generally far less well off (in terms of money) but were also far less conforming than the professional classes and intellectuals (both there and in the UK).
Willem, I agree with you that people who live in very rural areas are much more resilient to psychological warfare.
But thatās still not going to stop us all being incinerated sometime soon.
For the record, I donāt think this is going to happen. The flip side of the coin is that we are ruled by complete bat shit crazies. The sad thing is that people bow to their power, when all you have to do is tell them to feck off.
Rien.
I reckon it was Colonel Mustard, in the Library, with the lead pipe (yeah, I know).
By the way, if the nukes do start going off it shows what a load of total wank the āglobal warming crisisā is.
Youāve been conned, from the cradle to the grave.
my experience: yes, their jobs give them security, which is why they werenāt questioning the covid narrative, they worked from home, they were secure from layoffs etc, they were in touch with others of their class, not anxious in my opinion.
my sincere apologies New Si, youāre right to resent my comment, I withdraw it. best wishes, everyman
Thank you - - now thatās the Everyman I remember.
Best Wishes
Si
Hey the assumption being that if it isnt a bluff heās an even bigger idiot surely? You donāt expect me to defend or explain that assertion do you?
Putin apparently (but I cannot find the quote maybe someone else with greater knowledge of alternative search engines might), said that he was prepared (I think around the time of the Skripal Poisonings), to reveal what he knew about the Western UFO projects and other topics (esp. re: #Paperclip), view this too: Cool Russian UFO movie! - YouTube
ā¦and see this blog post for more videos (incl.what purports to be real Russian footage): https://www.arafel.co.uk/2015/09/forbidden-history-and-reich-of-black-sun.html
Si, I just say; āDonāt make war around nuclear reactors. It takes two to tango. Ipso facto both sides must be capable of more peaceful resolution!ā https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nuclear-power-plant-ukraine-zaporizhzhia-loses-external-power-link-watchdog/
These four regions of Ukraine are now a part of Russia.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of it all, Russian territory is now being directly attacked by NATO.
Unfortunately in the West there are no adults in the room. Instead we have a bunch of corrupt psychos who will quite happily see their own people starve and freeze to death. Cue the sound of toys being thrown out of the pram.
Do you know, if the human race are stupid enough to go into WW3 I really donāt care.
They will deserve to be incinerated.
In a couple of million years, once the worst of the radiation has dissipated, maybe other creatures will be dominant.
