That kind of thinking is deep, deep, in the fever swamps. In objective terms, a Ukrainian victory against the invading Russians would be a good thing, and the ouster of the murderous and corrupt Putin and his gang would be of great benefit to the US, NATO, and the world. Most of all, it would give Russia a new opportunity to develop into a relatively normal, modern nation.

As for globalism, perhaps the biggest winner in Europe in a victory over Russia and the end of Putin would be the anti-globalist Poland, a NATO ally and genuine friend of America. In the meanwhile, the energy shortage caused by the Ukraine conflict has exposed the green energy agenda as a destructive fantasy, and tonight's reports are of a great election victory by Sweden's Center-Right coalition.

Call me an optimist, but globalism has been exposed as a folly and will soon fade in its European stronghold. With NATO reinvigorated and Ukraine free and in political sympathy with Poland, European politics will become more nationalist and free market. A post-Putin regime in Russia will have to adopt free elections for the sake of legitimacy and align with the US against China as a matter of national strategy.

What are you high on?

I am an optimist as well, but I don’t have much hope for Russia. They have deeply embraced the thought patterns that Harold Bloom called “The School of Resentment”. I am afraid they will just invent some scapegoat and keep being their shitty selves.
