On the other hand, even if it is disclosed that, in fact, Trump did have sex with prostitutes in Moscow, and, in fact, was a part of Epstein’s sexploitation of minors, his “base” may well just shrug it off. Why? Because as long as they are convinced that Trump will bring America back to the 1950s, virtually anything goes with him.
Regardless of Trumps sexual behavior, why did Nato expand eastward when they had promised they wouldn’t? It was guaranteed to cause a confrontation with Russia.
The fact that Trump doesnt play Natos game is at least one thing that speaks for him. Why do liberals insist on war with Russia? It was Clinton who broke the agreement and bombed Belgrade and broke up Yugoslavia. Why? Why all this aggressive expansion? How can anyone possibly blame any of this on Russia?
And when has that ever stopped any country in the past? “Oh, no, if we do this then [country] will retaliate!” “Do it anyway, we can take em.” -Countries about to start wars, probably
That is what I am saying, Nato instigated this war, not Putin. Yet the left keeps playing it as if Putin committed an unprovoked act. I can only wonder if they believe it.
The Nato expansion you just described in terms of ‘lets try it, we can take them’.
The whole business Nato was doing in Ukraine with the killing of Russian speakers and the prohibition of the Russian language, etc, as well as the nasty disease engineering biolabs. It was all provocation. I dont see how it can be construed otherwise. I mean I dont see how Russia could be expected to just sit back. It being Russia and all, a sphere of influence.
Russia by the way tried to become a friendly member of the west in the early days of Putin, but the answer was no.
A large part of the Russian psyche wanted to be part of Europe. That was the case before the Revolution as well. Europe would (might) have been better off if that impulse had been welcomed, much richer in culture, safer. Russia might well have become more democratic. But Britain and the US prevented it. It’s obviously too late now.
Edit - I dont know how that would have played out but the impulse should have been taken as an opportunity to work with Russia, rather than outright rejected.
Britain has for centuries played their “Great Game” against Russia.
I never heard of any of this. Are there any sources that you’ve used? I’d like to have a base to start my research on.
I do agree with this; even with Russia’s past, it should have been given a chance to prove itself. After all, look at Italy, Japan, Germany. They were given chances, so why not Russia?
Britain is basically everyone’s least-favorite uncle that they have over for dinner because they have to stay in its good graces.
Im actually afraid to get back into that research given what Ive been through. Sources are hard to find now I see at fist glance, they get deleted and google just links to ‘fact check’ pages that nato has put out there, denying it all. But it doesnt make me doubt there are labs there just like in Wuhan. Fauci was working in such places before he got promoted. Of course all of this, like the experiences of working class Europeans, is Russian propaganda. Nato never included nazi scientists… they are all about defending humanity…
I used to like London a lot… I dont think I would now.
L O L what? That’s like saying they should’ve let Hitler advance and maybe all the areas he controlled would’ve become more yada yada yada like the end would justify the means in a very huge what if. This is asinine thinking.
Because the West promised that they would never do that in exchange fo the deomissioning of Ukraine’s nukes.
Ukraine lost the nukes and the West lied.
Also in that agreement - Ukrainian sovereignty guarentee.
Moral of the Story - you cannot trust Western Democratically signed agreements.
Marx was a sham, he was too smart to believe in the long range effect of socialism, he merely commented on the English loss to colonial proficiency to outproduce the ‘West’, in fact Nietzche saw this before him, that Hegel was going down the tubes, why?
Because he thought god dead, and he saw the loss of moral justification to be a huge problem to come, so he inverted morality, and placed it on a proto-humanistic scale against the aristocracy, as can be seen the last vestiges with the contraptions of Megan and Harry, these are the final spastic efforts , the dragging anchors, holding out for a hero, again against the shallow ocean of a demanded transparency,
So what if the deep end can not be seen and so many Heglelians, and positivists included. Now the liberals fear a backlash due to the effective simulation which can bring up all the repressed stuff that colonies are saying, “time for payback, Marx and communism was supposed to have preserved, not eliminate Capital, for it always was only smoke and mirrors.
