What you want to believe is the ultimate question involving society. Long term or short term safety is as always the dilemma before us. Is the relative safety of the herd the most important decision point in your life? Giving up your personal responsibilities to a group or individual is the ultimate delusion while being the basis of government. What are your responsibilities? They used to be your family and yourself. Now it appears transsexual transvestites have been shoved to the top of our priorities as a nation as cover for the great money laundry of Ukraine.
There are few leaders in history that were not personally motivated instead of being societally motivated. The average guy is average and it should be assumed he will follow along. What would you do to obtain power? The lure of public acclaim is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Our political system vomits them up by allowing the average or worse a path to power that has been trod to mud over the centuries. That is why there are so few plans and choices today. The old days of semi- honest educated men are gone and in their place are political companies called parties set up to retain influence, money and power.
These leaders have no principles other than their greatest self gratification of wallet stuffing. Some enjoy the lights and celebrity and others are content to work their corruption in the shadows. Look at Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Biden, McConnell and Graham. What are their attributes? Do they possess intellect, charisma or just the keys to the safe? Their system must be overturned and they must be converted into street light decorations for our nation to survive.
A perfect example is the current global curtain that hides the desperate criminals clinging to power is the invasion of Ukraine. The current meme is that the US is responsible for defending current international borders in all cases. This allows for further serfdom which expands the leaderships’ financial control through monarchical capitalism.
The Ukrainian borders have been in a state of flux for a thousand years. The recent players have been the Swedes, the Hapsburgs, the Germans and the Russians to name a few. It has been an area of typical Euro-peon border wars using a tribal basis of organization. The Settlement of the Pale was instituted to continue control of the Jews and taxes. The Roman Catholic Church is supreme in Ukraine while the Greek Orthodox Church is in Russia. The religious battle continues today affecting various strategies. These borders have been in flux since Ghengis Khan as power waxed and waned.
The first partition of Poland occurred in 1772. In 1851 Russia occupied Moldova and Walachia during the Crimean War. The czar then ruled from Warsaw to Juneau, Alaska. Poland, Czechia, and Slovakia have been passed around as well. Ukraine, and Belarus had UN seats as independent countries in 1945 at Stalins’ insistence and FDR bending over. We do not owe our personal allegiance to a policy designed to enhance the profitability of the MIC. Another border war must be anticipated by Sweden and Finland as they have finally run under the NATO cover sheet.
Those of the older generation remember the Russian bogey man quite well. The movie Dr. Strangelove and the “duck and cover” song under your desk at school at the age of seven. The daily air raid warning siren tests were a testimony to the MIC keeping profits rolling. We are returning to that page of history.
The point of this longwinded tripe is that this war has been raging for centuries and the US has no chance of diffusing the tribalism of millennia. The excuse of defending against aggression is just cover for an immense money laundering scheme using your tax dollars as always. Our future is much more important than becoming a bit player in an old squabble. We accepted our leaderships’ word as gospel in the past to our undoing in the World Wars and we rebuilt Europe in 1945 instead of making them pay for their own greed and incompetence. So far it is their bodies and our money, but I suspect the entire bill is heading our way.
As long as the dumb-downed Americans have a couch, a remote control and several bags of Doritos, all is well, “government” stealing everything be damned.
EXCERPT:
“I should like merely to understand how it happens that so many men, so many villages, so many cities, so many nations, sometimes suffer under a single tyrant who has no other power than the power they give him; who is able to harm them only to the extent to which they have the willingness to bear with him; who could do them absolutely no injury unless they preferred to put up with him rather than contradict him. Surely a striking situation! Yet it is so common that one must grieve the more and wonder the less at the spectacle of a million men serving in wretchedness, their necks under the yoke, not constrained by a greater multitude than they… ”

Be positive for a change. The American Empire is dying in Ukraine as I type this. Once its dead, and the bribes are paid out in money that’s worthless, that’s when the real truth comes out. And the bullets start flying.
maybe.
“we rebuilt Europe in 1945 instead of making them pay for their own greed and incompetence”
Ohh, too much compassion [Ayn Rand style] brought us into the mess we are in today!
Thanks for clearing that up.
