This is a global problem. Its a very old one. Its not a “NWO” fantasy. There really isn’t a “NWO” in the first place.

Its the old problem of imperialist urges among the great powers. This is why there was a treaty of Westphalia, a Congress of Vienna, a League of Nations, a UN, a NATO.

It’s the same old, same old. The problem is that “same old” becomes vastly destructive with modern technology. The US grand strategy since WW2 has been to prevent this @#%&, deter it, or oppose it early.

Nope. With you as a Filipino living in Spain, you should tend to your country’s issues there. We’re not playing these international war games anymore in America. We’re flat busted broke and massively in debt, with tens of millions of illegal invaders flooding in. That’s far more pressing than giving billions that we don’t have to a pervert midget dictator in Kiev who wants nukes.

A NWO may exist in the minds of some power brokers, but I think that was based on the idea that Soviet communism was dead, and we could stop wasting money and human and material treasure on unproductive war. Instead wemcould unite the world in productive activities. Unfortunately, Alexandr Dugin and Putin have shown that Soviet communism may be dead, but the spirit of Russian imperialism and conquest is most certainly not.

So far as I and many are concerned, we see the Ukrainians are willing to fight for their freedom, All we have to do to maintain their will is allocate around FIVE PERCENT of our US military budget to helping them, That is a bargain at twice the price. We manufacture military supplies, and send them to Ukrainians who make good use of them. We also encourage our allies to do the same which most are actively doing, or helping in other ways as we also are.

As you say, this is an old problem of imperial urges of great powers. I can trace it in parts of my own family. The French/Prussian war around 1870 ruined my great grandfathers agribusiness in East Prussia, currently Russian controlled Kaliningrad. His daughter, my grandmother, married a marine engineer. Concerned about the direction the Kaiser’s navy was apparently taking, they decided to emigrate to the US around 1890, One activity of my grandfather in WW1 was to take a significant role in converting a major passenger liner into a troop carrier. This to transport our troops to fight in Europe.

Immediately after WW2 ended, my father spent years fighting the efforts of Soviet Russia and Stalin to take over the port of New York. This was being done in both east and west coast ports by attempting to subvert the US labor movement with communist infiltrators and traitors. A move was made on my father’s white collar union including payments to the commies by the well known company whose workers were represented by my father as elected officer. Eventually they succeeded in spliting the union into two groups which seriously weakened its bargaining ability resulting in overall failure of effective representation.

In the previous decade I ended up in a serious series of fights with a local man who took great pride in the activities of his communist parents who were active in the New York City port struggle. THey were active on the opposite side of the struggle my father had engaged in.

It is easy to see that these struggles will go on and on no matter what label like NWO some people choose to give them. So long as there are people so greedy they need huge amounts of personal wealth and power to feel safe, aggression and wars will contineu as the rich and powerful seek to take all they can grab from anyone not willing to fight back. I do not know what sick, miserable early experiences turned Putin into a man who needs total power and $200 billion to feel safe and secure. However, as usual, his delusion of personal safety is not working, and is creating great misery and waste for millions. So remember, for a mere 5% of our military budget we are enabling the Ukrainians to keep up the fight for their land’s integrity. In the process they are not asking for our army to sacrifice lives in this unnecessary war. Their success could help prevent a future war with either Russia or China that could cost tens of thousands of American lives.
