Ukraine

The big picture of Changing World Order. What is behind the reality show. Very informative. Not an Idiocracy black and white kind of.

Why do you think this has anything to do with the Ukraine and the PRC wanting to be top dog in the international kennel?
The PRC just want to make the world a communist one which they believe they should run.
Russia knew they were on a downward spiral and have been playing to the PRC song book.
The PRC are getting into just about every part of the world you can point a stick at buying their way into nations, this will give them a base to influence and corrupt world trade to their plan.
Politics at work.
That video can be taken in more ways than one but SRX, you are tring (It seems to me) to use it as an excuse/driver for the current situation. Where in the video does it address the very hard and real fact that nations reluctant to pay their way within NATO, are suddenly spending MORE than the agreed two percent of GDP?
The Ockers have gone from being against nuclear power and barely being able to crew six Collins class diesel/electric submarines to buying between eight and twelve nuclear boats which will be bigger, more expensive to run and require a costly infrastructure. What could make them even consider that?
Take a look at the south China sea where fishing boats of nations other than the PRC are being fired on and rammed to get the message across that the PRC are in charge. Take a look at the internal strife within the PRC, a minority going through enforced re education in internment camps. People are being forced into facilities where anyone Covid positive is, I know, that word again, interred.
You can take statistics and habit any way you like to make all kinds of argument if you like but, when you do this you are throwing logic away and relying on the opinion of a person wanting their argument above others. Broken record put on a pedestal. It is STILL a broken record. One silky word followed by a thousand others, is not logic, it is a tragedy. Following this theory we in europe would all be speaking German and hailing the eternal reich. What happened at Tianamin square?
I know, you will say I am pro the USA and the eu and the current order. Not so. I would like to see the larger nations combine to protect the smaller nations, remove dictators because these are the real existential threats to our kind on this planet. To remove greed from the equation and start fixing the planet. We are not the only species which relies on it for life. We can make a difference while treating everyone with dignity.
Bowing to dictators does none of these things, it just encourages those who wish to be dictators. While we think of a long term plan as being five years, the PRC will continue to think in fifty or one hundred year blocks. Suddenly a long term plan looks different, does it not?

" I would like to see the larger nations combine to protect the smaller nations..."
That's already happening, my friend. Most of the world is protected from the biggest bully - NATO , with the leading dictator-United States. The empire of lies is coming to an end.
Maybe this will make you rethink the black and white picture being served by Hollywood media. -
@srx
I predict if orcs from your brother Mordor would drop a nuke on St.Sofia cathedral in Kyiv in 5 minuted you'd post some shitty RT trash about "Yankees were first in Hiroshima" wouldn't you? -
@srx, you have that backwards.
In which country do you get politicians murdered for opposing the wishes of the King, pardon me, president?
Which country has sent it's agents into sovereign nations to murder those it just does not like? Just to remind you, Polonium is something that kills randomly and the the bastards left that in a public place.
Which country held a large part of europe under an iron fist, controling those nations with secret police and murdering citizens for opposing them? You want to live in a non communist nation? Off to the Gulag with you.
Which nation in the Indo-Pacific region is brainwashing its own citizens because they are culturally Moslem?
Which nation sends warships to prevent peaceful fisherman from fishing in their own territorial waters?
Which Indo-Pacific distator murdered his own uncle and brother because he thought they MIGHT in the future be a focus to oppose his rule?
@srx, you have a very warped idea of who is bullying and murdering whom. Sorry mate but you make no sense and appear to be a one topic generalist, judging the actions of others on one yardstick. Do we need to evolve? You bet your 'arris we do. NATO is now irrelevent due to the challenges of the PRC, Russia and North Korea. We need an organisation that can act globally so that people do not need to travel the world to find the safety and peace they should have in their own back garden. We need to include PRC and Russia and North Korea so that this whole doctrine versus doctrine shtick can be consigned to history. It will NOT happen while Putin and Xi are around and what could replace the NK dictator? History has proven that in nations where the elections are rigged and there is NO effective choice, those holding power have no break to reign them in. Not that many years ago, escaping communist europe was a real problem and thousands died trying to do that. Or are you saying they went in for extreme sports and just shot themselves while trying to get over a barbed wire fence and get through minefields?
What happened in the former Yugoslavia was a travesty, something that should have shame tied to it as long as we still measure time. However, pointing the finger is a fools errand, far too many people with blood on their hands to get the right folk and with lies and time/ Well that just muddies the water further.
Mate, we are ALL sharing the same air and water and while I hold my 'Trekkie' belief's tightly, I am still very much without evidence that humanity can climb out of this hole. I BELIEVE that we will get there some day. I just wish I could be there to see it. Debate is healthy and we can all do with differing views, belief should always be tempered in the fire of debate but, currently, you forget or ignore too much and I cannot understand why? I wish you peace brother, you have the right to your views, opinions but please try to temper those with the facts.

Nobel peace prize auctioned by Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov fetches record $103.5m
Muratov, who was awarded the gold medal in October 2021, said proceeds would go to Unicef to help children displaced by Ukraine war
the Guardian (www.theguardian.com)
When so much rubbish happens in the Russian government, it is vital to remember the Russian people are good or bad as we find them, like in any nation on the earth.
What a move for decency is that in the link? More of that and we would not be in the situation we are in. For the sake of a few people with power.
Stay well folks, you and yours.

Hi Mike, I agree totally.
My best friend is Russian and living in Moscow. We speak daily. He is a very smart guy and has moved to gain Citizenship in another Country.
He says there is a direct relationship between how educated, intelligent a Russian is. bears on
a Russian's opinion on the WAR. He said that the move out of Russia by the enlightened is so significant that he thinks it has Darwinian consequences for the IQ of the Future Russian population. I thought that was interesting, and I think he is correct -

You know a lot. What is your source? CNN?
In which country do you get president murder for opposing the wishes of war machine?Which country has sent it's agents into sovereign nations to murder those it just does not like? Just to remind you, Polonium is something that kills randomly and the the bastards left that in a public place.
No, no. It is BBC!
Which country held a large part of europe under an iron fist, controling those nations with secret police and murdering citizens for opposing them? You want to live in a non communist nation? Off to the Gulag with you.
Russia is not a communist country any more. Just to remind you.
Which nation in the Indo-Pacific region is brainwashing its own citizens because they are culturally Moslem?
I did not whatch that show.
Which nation sends warships to prevent peaceful fisherman from fishing in their own territorial waters?
I see you really enjoy watching brainwashing TV channels
Which Indo-Pacific distator murdered his own uncle and brother because he thought they MIGHT in the future be a focus to oppose his rule?
I dont know. Did not watch that blockbuster. Whas it Marvel? Why is that important now?
@srx, you have a very warped idea of who is bullying and murdering whom.
I have no idea. I know, because I was, my contry was bombed and ruined by NATO. Was your country bombed by Russian maybe? Movies do not count!

You just need to let others print their own money...HM, But that would break your own economy... So better do not let... Muammar al-Qaddafi tried it... So, NATO destroied him and his country. With PRC, it is not so easy
We need to include PRC and Russia and North Korea so that this whole doctrine versus doctrine shtick can be consigned to history. It will NOT happen while Putin and Xi are around and what could replace the NK dictator?
So you have right to take over other nations presidents, right? That for sure is what have to be changed! For start, in your mind. Live And Let Die

Live and let die man. Take care of your own president.He fell from the bike.

What happened was that NATO, USA broke the International low and bombed Yugoslavia. From there on there is no international low anymore. That was the beggining of the end of an Empire. Did you know that they also bombed the ambassy of PRC in Belgrade killing the staff working there?

I gave you facts from my own expiriance. You are giving me CNN news man. I wish you to wake up! TV shows you are watching are 90% lies. Watch movie "Network", almost 50 years old
-
Important speech.
-
CNN, never watched it.
President? Never had one to fall off a bike. We have a Prime Minister in the UK.
I rarely watch films tbh and never use them for information of any kind. Apparently there is a new Dune film next year that I think worth a couple of hours.
Your friends are killing people in a war which is helping nobody, you have a right to your own opinion but frankly, your comments have zero credibility and what we are seeing is murder plain and simple. State sponsored murder.

I appreciate the man on 24:52... sane decision!
-
Still here, still talking about the same thing.
Russian forces murdering civilians.
The UN are still doing nothing effective, they do like their harsh words but with nothing to back that up the Russian leadership will continue, after all risk and reward tend to follow. The Russian propoganda machine continues with it's NAZI model with constant exhortation to it's own people that they are the victims, it should be shocking but somehow becomes background. I have continued to request that the Duma sort out the mess with the same result. I have attempted to communicate with the upper house but that has failed so far. The London embassy is sealed off.
Where is the global defence organisation? How on eart (Pun intended) can we as a species, help the environment? Bring poorer nations up to a level where everyone gets food, clean water, a roof, a decent education, proper health care, a purpose?
Take a look at the theft and murder going on at the behest of a small portion of the species. How much extra polution? I have not been in favour of forcibly changing the system of another nation but frankly unless we do there will be no end. There are a great many decent people in the world and Russia has its share. Time to help them fix this before we demonstrate just how failed a species we are.

from WSJ, by Yulia Latynina
https://www.wsj.com/articles/arms-race-ukraine-russia-himars-conquer-conquest-invade-nuclear-drones-11657119063Rich, sedentary civilizations have always been vulnerable. Plato wrote that the gods destroyed Atlantis because it had grown wealthy and debauched. The more a civilization produces, the more alluring a target it becomes: Bronze Age kingdoms fell to the sea peoples; Germanic barbarians took apart the Roman Empire; the Mongols conquered China’s empires. In the Islamic world the succession of Umayyads, Abbasids, Mamluks and Ghaznavids reflected Ibn Khaldun’s cyclical theory of history—bloated sedentary economies get dismantled and consumed by predatory barbarians.
This cycle was broken by the development of firearms. Technological advance became an instrument for successful conquest. The Vikings left North America because of the ferocity of the natives, but the next wave of invaders conquered the Indians with ease. The difference? Guns.
No zealot or rogue king selling his followers on the certainty of victory in war can stand against superior technology. When the Mahdi tried to build an Islamic state in Sudan in the late 19th century, the machine guns of Maj. Gen. Horatio Herbert Kitchener ensured British victory at the Battle of Omdurman. A similar fate befell rebels in Matabeleland in 1896-97 in modern-day Zimbabwe. The leaders of the 1899 Boxer Rebellion in China promised their followers invulnerability against the bullets of foreign devils. This turned out to be an exaggeration.
For much of recent history, technological progress was the only route to success for a nation. Even the Soviet Union understood. The Vietnam War, the Iranian revolution and Sept. 11 each turned the wheel again. The barbarians had the advantage because their adversary had grown flabby and satisfied. It was impossible to fight Osama bin Laden the way Kitchener fought the Mahdi’s followers, not because al Qaeda had advanced weapons, but because a civilized nation couldn’t fight an uncivilized war.
The only war a modern, prosperous, open society is willing to fight is a comfortable one. This has been noticed by the world’s rogue dictators. Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is a challenge to the prevailing international order, presided over by a sedentary, prosperous U.S. hegemon. Unless this challenge is met by superior technology, it will likely succeed.A new arms race is the only option for the West. The Russian offensive flounders in the face of superior firepower. On battlefields where there are no modern weapons, the barbarian Russian army, with its tactics of cannon fodder and indiscriminate shelling, slowly prevails. Where the Ukrainian defenders have been equipped with Western artillery, Russia’s stockpiles explode into fireworks and its fodder troops are burnt like chaff.
A world without a war is only a dream. When the strong and just refuse to fight with the weapons they have, thugs and bullies can do what they want. The West must build precision weapons that can take out Russia’s nuclear silos—and let Mr. Putin know that they aren’t afraid to use them. Develop drones that can hunt and kill terrorists. An open society can’t dictate to rogue states how to live. But it should be able to prevent aggression like the invasion of Ukraine.
Ms. Latynina was a journalist with Echo of Moscow and Novaya Gazeta, Russian press outlets that have been shut down during Russia’s war with Ukraine.

Orcs mined Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant (literally X10 Chernobyls, more then enough even for khuilo lovers in Serbia or NeUtRaLiTy keepers in Ireland)
Nitrogen-oxygen unit is destroyed..
This snowy Mordor is a pure terrorist state which Mankind never seen before -
He is trying to evoke war flames. This is the point that would be better for the world to take action—a sane action not playing in his game and with his rules.

I have an eye on Finland's decision.
