The military industrial complex has no bounds for its failures. In just our life time it had us invade Iraq, a country that had not attacked nor threatened to attack us, all we accomplished was massively increasing terrorism and Iran’s influence. It has us occupy Afghanistan, only to replace the Taliban with a much stronger Taliban. Not to mention toppling Gadafi and massively expanding civil wars like in Syria. And now Ukraine. The best time to end the Ukraine war was the beginning. When Russia’s initial invasion failed, all we would have to do is have Ukraine offer to give Russia the border areas with majority ethnic Russians (who probably want to join Russia anyway), and not join NATO. Russia reeling from seeing just how unprepared and incompetent its military was, with no idea how much support NATO could give Ukraine, would probably have agreed and ended the war then. But instead the US repeatedly blocked negotiations, NATO arbitrarily declared the war aim to be to completely drive Russia out, and anyone who disagreed was called a Russian shill. Meanwhile no actual plan or timeline for victory was presented. https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/u-s-repeatedly-blocked-ukraine-peace-deals-is-it-rethinking-its-strategy-yet/ So what is the current situation? 1) Russia is arguably even stronger now and more motivated to continue the war. Their military budget has swollen to a huge amount and their personal is over a million and set to expand. They’ve made deals with other countries to bypass sanctions and send weapons and supplies. Thanks to the heavy sanctions Russia is only staying afloat because Putin can tell his population he’s defending them from the west and giving them jobs and pensions for the military. His rule is at more risk if the war ends if anything. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/11/30/putin-seems-to-be-winning-the-war-in-ukraine-for-now 2) the US already allocated over 100 billion for Ukraine and is having difficulty in congress to send more. The rate of Americans supporting sending aid is lowering. 3) Ukraine has lost so many men the average soldier is over 40 years old now. They’re going to start drafting the elderly and women at this rate. https://www.businessinsider.com/average-age-ukrainian-soldier-43-amid-personnel-problems-2023-11?amp In summation, once again our leaders have completely incompetently wasted hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives to just make the situation worse… They will probably have to move towards negotiations when it is clear this can’t continue , but the negotiation position is awful now, it’s possible Russia will demand most of Ukraine if he’ll even negotiate at all, Putin now sees he can get away with losing immense amounts of men to no internal backlash and can probably outlast NATO. The fact that the US citizens still are electing Iraq war supporters and have done nothing to reel in money in politics or the military industrial complex after these constant disasters just shows a level of apathy that is insane. I don’t even want to think about what kind of disaster they will lead us into if China goes to war with Taiwan or Israel goes to war with Iran.

I’ve been seeing similar reports of this, In schools if a kid is accused of bigotry there is much higher prevalence of attacking or ostracizing them.

That describes you more than anyone else here. You constantly say dehumanizing language of Palestinians calling them savage and were talking about how you’re “proud to be a Jew” basically admitting your analysis is just ethnic and nationalistic, not actually based on an even handed logic. Example, you said the poor living standards in Gaza was due to culture, but when I posted multiple sources clearly showing the damaging effects of the blockade you just dismissed it all with 0 evidence or even an argument. You calling anyone else biased is massive projection.

I’m not saying they think NATO will attack them out of the blue. But it’s the same reason why the US didn’t want Cuba to hold Russian nukes or why the US surrounds Iran with bases. So if a war does break out they have a close launch pad for operations. Also Putin wanted free travel between Ukraine and Russia, but if Ukraine joins NATO the US can launch destabilization operations to try and ferment a revolt of Russia’s governments. The US does this constantly, they even overthrew Ukraine’s President.

I’ve been listening to Jeffrey Sachs. He is an academic and famous economist who for decades has consulted with many different governments on their economy and is well connected in the elite. Initially in his career he was a neoliberal economist who supported mainstream U.S. policy. However he’s gone rogue and is basically exposing the establishment in a completely coherent way. He’s saying extremely critical things about government operations that aren’t really discussed by other insiders or on the mainstream media. some examples, according to him: The US purposefully sabotaged Russia and China to maintain hegemony and expand NATO aggressively Scientists were purposefully lying about COVID’s origins being natural and attempts to investigate if COVID was the result of joint U.S. and China virus research is being blocked by Democrats Israel’s government is openly involved in ethnic cleansing and the entire international order wants to create two states with a UN peace keeping force but the U.S. is blocking it The education sector world wide is completely underfunded and failing Syria’s civil war was a covert operation by the US for regime change He’s also essentially claimed the US government is a plutocracy and foreign policy is captured by the military industrial complex which is seeking a conflict with Russia and China. What I find interesting about him is that he’s saying very shocking or even apocalyptic things but he actually isn’t fringe, he is well connected with many governments and involved in their policies especially in the third world due to his expertise.

I’m dismissing it because none of that is actually proof A) from the article you yourself link, this is a quote from a political scientist B) that doesn’t entail them moving past Ukraine, and clearly trying to get them to join NATO would trigger a war there too, that wouldn’t be an example of recreating the Soviet Union, it would be, like with Ukraine, not tolerating a border country joining a alliance he views as hostile to his government. C) that’s not Putin nor a threat to invade Poland, it’s a threat because they are backing Ukraine D) the majority of those were before Putin was prime minister, those are mostly crushing rebellions not re-establishing the Soviet Union, every invasion has economic motivations for more logical ex: the Caucuses was to connect Russia to Iran lamenting the fall of something, even specifying the economic fallout and losing Russian speaking people as the reason, doesn’t mean he is planning on trying to reestablish it he also said: https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780191843730.001.0001/q-oro-ed5-00016963 ‘anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart. Anyone who wants it restored has no brains.’ E) nothing about that tactic proves he wants to bring back to Soviet Union, just destabilize countries who are pushing against his interests. Putin opposed the Iraq war and backed Assad. The USA overthrew Iraq and backed a civil war to overthrow Assad creating chaos in the region and millions of refugees and migrants, if flooding migrants into other countries is a tactic to bring back the Soviet Union then the USA is more in favor of it than Putin. F) paying for bots to spread conspiracies online isn’t proof he’s reviving the Soviet Union. Also studies find they had no meaningful effect. https://theintercept.com/2023/01/10/russia-twitter-bots-trump-election/ G) again, having operations against hostile countries is not proof he plans on reviving the Soviet Union If Putin invaded Ukraine to re-establish the Soviet Union, why did he only do so after it was close to joining NATO, and even offer to not invade if NATO didn’t admit it? If the goal is just expansion it would be invaded regardless. Why is it so hard to believe that Ukraine was invaded because Putin won’t tolerate NATO encroaching on his borders. 1) it matches the timing perfectly 2) it makes logical sense based on his actual actions 3) it aligns with his actual beliefs 4) he has said it multiple times and even US government officials acknowledged it meanwhile the idea he wants to re-establish the Soviet Union and Ukraine is the last line of Defence matches perfectly with supporting the goals of the military industrial complex and extending the war. Not the least bit suspicious?

I’m not holding anything against women or saying all women are the same, I’m specifically responding to the claim that women only want “good” high conscious men and if you don’t attract women you must low conscious or bad in some way, it’s not true.
