“Far from the madman and ruthless dictator the West has depicted him as, Putin has shown a keen understanding of geopolitics, commitment to Russia's national interests, as well as his ability to outmanoeuvre the US and NATO. He hasn’t only thwarted the West's efforts to destabilise Russia but exposed the flaws and overreach in US and NATO policies, proving the narratives designed to demonise him were built on a foundation of lies, misinformation, and underestimation.”
If only the West could relinquish its hubris and do something sensible for a change.
I found it interesting when Tucker Carlson interviewed Vladimir Putin last December and Tucker brought up the Ukraine war. At one point in the interview, Putin responded by asking a simple question: "Doesn't America, with all its problems (crime, drugs, homelessness etc.) have better things to do than interfere in the problems of other countries by sending $billions in weapons and money to Ukraine."
Tucker should have responded, "Well sir, the U.S.A. is not exactly the best example of democracy in the world".
It’s tragic that so many people can see this and see the consequences we are creating, and yet it is apparently impossible to steer the ship away from the rocks.
As someone whose always been an avid scholar of history and the rise and fall of civilizations, the question of “how did they let it happen, couldn’t they see where it was leading? All the signs were there!” has always mystified me.
Living through it, it becomes obvious that it wasn’t that people didn’t see where it was headed, or what the consequences would be when they hit the rocks. It was inertia and normalcy bias and just a sense of helplessness that so many people were programmed to just go along with what they were told was best.
A great nation can withstand a lot of ruin. But there is a breaking point….
ALARMING -- Open Terror in the US (after Tulsi Gabbard was placed on Terror list)
Today, on August 7, 2024, the FBI conducted a raid on the Delmar, New York, home of Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst known for his criticism of U.S. foreign policy and allegations of corruption in Ukraine. Ritter, who has also been a controversial figure due to past convictions and appearances on Russian state-funded networks, was the subject of a federal investigation, the details of which were not immediately disclosed. The raid has sparked a range of reactions on social media -- but, of course, and like with Tulsi Gabbard outrage, silence in state-controlled media.
In meantime the bipartisan US genocide of Palestinians - continues...
There are plenty reasons to criticise the USA and in particular its moronic foreign policy, reducing Ukraine, the country it's supposed to be big pals with, to a failed state - three quarters of a million mainly young men dead, a ruined country and infrastructure, no elections and a dictator, but a dictator who will have to run for it when the actual fascists take over. Kissinger said it's not good to have the US as an enemy but even worse to have the US as a friend. While US foreign policy makers persist in being stupid and are unable to accept the USA's decline in power and influence the world will be in a very dangerous place.
I think more of us are noticing this all the time.
"America’s ambition, coupled with simultaneous crises in the Middle East, Gaza, Venezuela, and tensions with China, has stretched US resources and credibility thin. The emergence of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) as a counterbalance to Western hegemony has further complicated the global landscape.
The US’s desperation to maintain its status as the world's leading power has led it into multiple confrontations, undermining its long-term strategic interests. The once unchallenged era of unipolarity is now giving way to a multipolar world, where regional powers and coalitions play a more significant role in global affairs. America’s inability to adapt to this new reality has accelerated its decline in influence and reputation.
The US's actions in Ukraine and beyond signal the end of the unipolar world order that it dominated after the Cold War. A multipolar world is emerging characterised by a more balanced distribution of power among various global and regional actors. This shift is not just a consequence of US policy failures but of the natural evolution of global power dynamics."
