Europe is thinking about standing up to Russia or letting them keep what they have.

We all know how the game is played:

The US, EU, will “liberate” while others “occupy.” Think Iraq, Libya, Syria, the Serbs, hyped up claims against the Serbs, Gaddafi, etc.

when other countries use civilians to aid the military and its operations the media calls them “mercenaries” but when the US does the same with its civilians the media calls them “contractors.”

Even neck choppers get labeled by the NSM as “moderate Muslims” and allies.

When other countries provide arms to other countries those using them are “[whatever country]-backed,” but when the US provides arms to Kurds they are “Separatists” as the media doesn’t call them “US-backed.”

My husband spent time with the Kurds. Says they’re mostly decent people which is why the rest of the Muslims hate them. He doesn’t like the communist Kurds though.

Yeah, I think most of the Kurds are good people. I was just pointing out the game of semantics the MSM plays on Americans.

If they go into Ukraine armed, then they’re FAIR GAME, based on what the Russians are saying. But if they want to make this “territorial dispute”, as DeSantis called it, into a World War, then so be it, as I suspect that both Russia and China are more than ready.

To have peacekeeping troops means to have a peace to keep. Which comes first, the chicken or the egg???

Kurds tend to be Kurds first, Muslims second. This makes them far more tolerant.

There is a difference between a contractor guarding facilities, persons, or food convoys to civilians and a mercenary fighting force, leading your war.

There is also a difference between a temporary invasion and an imperialistic taking of a country as your own.

Not all things are equal tit-for-tat, the same to each other.

Wrong. The military and the media do not spend time on TV making those distinctions known to listeners. They want one rule for themselves and another rule for others and that’s helping in leading us to armageddon.

Secondly, NATO doesn’t belueve in “sovereignty” of nations when they illegally broke their defensive charter and attacked Libya offensively, plus Libya had attacked no NATO member.

And then there’s NATO doing the same with the Serbs hyping up claims that later turned out tonge false and the WMD lies over Iraq.

And never any sanctions, ever, despite doing this over and over again in hyping claims. NaTO also did the same thing against Serbs.

It isn’t wrong, there is an obvious difference between security guard contractors and Wagner leading divisions in a war.

Russia is building an empire through conquest, the U.S. and other European nations are not.

Are you sure Deep State geo-politics is not about creating global hegemony and demolishing multi-polar world order to create its uni-polar empire?

You know you can’t just reduce it to Wagner. That games has been played with many countries also always calling them mercs, and this country has been accused by other countries of war crimes just as those countries have also accused Russia of war crimes. It’s hard to top Madeline Albright saying the deaths of 500k Iraqi deaths was worth it even when based upon WMD lies.

You need to drop the fossil of chest thumping rah, rah, rah, it ain’t working anymore and it’s now rejected by the world,

Qe have got to get a rules based order, not a neocon or neoliberal one, but one that countries can agree upon or get say 80% to, like Russia pulling back all troops from Ukraine and around the world and the US dismantles NATO back to its 1949 size, the US dismantle bases around the world and so does China. These are possibilities.

Most countries though are long past tired, as news reports from around the world show, if the US getting to stage coups, interfere in elections, etc, and engaging in semantics, and getting away with them. They are aligning against us.

I just hope we’re not past the point of no return.

I’ve already told my 3 sons to begin to think about whether they want to be drafted into WWIII - and the price they would pay for something that is none of our business.

I will support them no matter what decision they make.
