It's not some elegant game they are playing, but Russia seems like they will beat Ukraine. To the contrary, Russia is losing some pawns while protecting its king. Meanwhile Ukraine's king will probably get his head cut off. Putin doesn't need to play a flawless or beautiful game. All he has to do is bomb cities, which is easy. He's taking a blunt approach.

I think China does not give a flying fuck about Ukraine. They will trade with whoever gives them money and doesn't impinge on their territorial goal of dominating Asia.

1) Ukraine is not so small. 2) Capturing it in a day or two? What are you smoking? The US could not properly hold Afghanistan with 20 years and $2 trillion dollars. I think Russia can certainly dominate Ukraine militarily, but it will take a few months. This is still relatively fast.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I'm glad he left.

Salvia gives me plenty of insight, it's just terrifying and dangerous. I can get better insight elsewhere.

I would just say you're not awake. The Buddha is imaginary. When you really awaken you're realize that. The real fruit is so radical you will not care about purification or changing your habits. But hey, whatever works for ya. I don't want to piss on your triumphs.

It's tricky. It's sort of the pinnacle of God-realization. You realize you are God then you become the Godhead, which is a formless Infinity, like you might imagine the universe prior to the Big Bang. For me, I realized cessation is imaginary.

God-realization is not a "therapy" of any kind and it is not an evolution or anything of the sort. All of that is dream stuff and God-realization cuts through all that BS. It's not a process either.

I don't think Russia's or Putin's attitude is to be individualist. Quite the opposite, they want more allies, but of course they want allies that are favorable to their agenda. Allies like China.

Americans and NATO have been deploying defensive missile silos close to Russian boarders for a long time. And as Putin says, those "defensive" silos can be retrofitted into offensive nuke launch sites within days. This retrofit seems trivial. So while NATO says it's purely for defense, nothing would stop them from turning them into offensive weapons if they wanted to. And Putin does not want to rely on their word for assurance. Yes, it would trigger a war, but this serves the US and NATO doubly: 1) it locks Putin into never moving his military outside Russia because they boxed him in by having all of Europe join NATO, 2) in the rare case that a war would start, Ukraine would take the brunt of the damage and Russia would be left with their pants down. This is a win-win for the US, and a lose-lose for Russia. Russia losing Ukraine to the West is like having your balls dangling and exposed in a street fight. The West's position has been: "Yes, your balls are dangling and exposed, but don't worry, we will never kick them. You can trust us. We are the good guys." Obviously Putin scoffs at such a deal. The Ukrainians might disagree with you there.

How do they know what Putin or Russian command was thinking? Seems like a lot of speculation with an obvious Western bias.

Depends on how you define "my". You can be free of what you currently think of as yourself. Pure Infinity is endless freedom. But yeah, you can't stop existing. You are God. God exists forever.

Existence is Absolute. It cannot ever be finished. Yes, the end of you as a finite, distinct thing. But you will exist as pure Infinity forever. If you got a glimpse of pure Infinity, you would be so horrified you'd call it death. It's a lot like death, except you are conscious forever of endless nothingness. I've seen it. It's the most terrifying thing you could imagine. But also, it's LOVE. It's the last thing you could possibly want.

And no such claim of uprooting defilements has been made. The claim made was simply insight, consciousness, and God-realization. If you want to transform your mental habits, that's decades of additional work. God-realization is a distinct event from changing your human self. You can have one without the other, and vice versa.

In this context he means by "existence" your existence as a finite human form. You stop existing in the sense that this form disappears. But then you exist as pure Infinity. You are not parsing his words properly.

Non-existence is a concept. There is only existence. Existence as a form or existence as formlessness. But both are existence. Humans commonly mistake formlessness for non-existence. This is the error.

I have seen attractive girls with lame looking guys. But of course generally people of similar attractiveness levels match. Buy attractiveness in a guy is not just about looks. Most normal guys don't have much game nor much value to offer, they just coast on whatever they got. In which case they can't bat out of their league much. Batting out of your laegue requires bringing the value.

Dude, Facebook exists. It will continue to exist and evolve. You want it to improve or not? Because there is no future where it doesn't exist.

He def lives in China. He should be careful cause they will deport him for the posts he makes lately.

Western military analysts? I don't trust them to look at the situation without some serious bias. A lot of stuff is being assumed but reported as fact.

It's pretty clear to me Ukraine would have eventually joined NATO and the US would use Ukraine as the frontline against Russia and build missile silos there. It's obvious this is what America leadership wants. They wanted to make Ukraine the battleground against any future conflict with Russia. So here we are. Their wish came true.

How do we know he thought it would end in days? But yes, the decision to invade the whole of Ukraine seems absurd. Not sure what he was thinking. It would be interesting to know his actual thought process. I don't see how he benefits from this.

You and 4 billion other guys. Or maybe some people just enjoy marriage and kids as a lifestyle? Doesn't mean you have to. Burn through that karma. Pursue and fulfill some of your teenage desires. Just don't be sleeping with underaged girls.

That's a rather nuanced and in-touch thing for Facebook to do. Not sure if it's needed, but at least it shows that Facebook is being nuanced and thoughtful about its policies in this case.

I was wondering why they hadn't already done so. The RT channel has a lot of pro-Russian, pro-Putin propaganda videos.
