WWIII

Back in 2014 when the coup in Ukraine happened I knew how important Ukraine was for Russia. As I remembered my Russian friends saying our biggest loss was Ukraine.  Ukraine is Russia. Like Saddam Hussein said Kuwait is historically ours but Saddam didnt have the S400s now S500s and Sarmats and Kinzhals and Tu169 heavy bombers and Su 35s and Migs to back up that claim.  Alas we know how that ended up.  

2014 coup in Ukraine made westerns intentions clear to Russia.  They don't like us! No matter how nice we be with them they will not treat us as equals.  If Russia is like 90s Russia governed by a drunkered, Rule of Mafia on the streets and western wolves and vultures ripping her resources apart only then we will be in their club(G8 now again G7). 

2014 was the year of the great schism of proportions equal to the christian schism between Catholic church and orthodox church, equal to the schism of sunni and shia in Islam. 2014 was the year of the great schism between Russia and the west where Russia finally figured out they are not Europeans they have their own unique Eurasian identity.

I observed with great interest after 2014 how Russia started preparing for the coming war.  Russia started having military exercises almost whole year round...they built their own internet, they built their own parallel SWIFT system and they accumulated vast amount of gold reserves...Sometimes I would question why but now in hindsight it was this war and it amazes how responsible nations plan for future!

I have said a number of times...Russia is the final frontier that west need to tame for their total world dominance.  In the past 300 or so years they have already tried it 2 times, which makes this the third time. 

Welcome to the WWIII. 

PM @MorawieckiM in #Berlin: The defeat of #Ukraine may become a prelude to World War III, so today there is no reason to block support for Kyiv and postpone matters indefinitely. I call on the German government to act decisively by supplying all sorts of weapons to Ukraine.

A must read thread:

Emmanuel Todd, one of the greatest French intellectuals today, claims that the "Third World War has started."
