Living under American hegemony past the fall of the USSR has been a disaster for Europe, which embraced all of our woke BS without really understanding what it means to add huge numbers of people that a dumber, less productive, and culturally alien to their native populations. Naturally it's all downside but rather than admit that they just get increasingly authoritarian to try and legislate away discussion of reality. A crackup over their role in the world and higher defense spending burden is an opportunity to shake things up, although I am not really seeing any sign that they recognize it. The rhetoric around Ukraine is delusional from a realpolitik standpoint as well as military. All these calls to re-arm and remain hostile to Russia shows a real mid-20th century mindset.

Long before the woke BS most of Western Europe gave up on existing. Douglas Murray's Strange Death Of Europe makes this point, the demoralization of Europe after two world wars left them committing a slow moving cultural suicide.

The Obama thing cracks me up, Normiecons still think he was pulling the strings with Biden but my assertion is that he wasn't even in charge when he was in office. He was just a marionette carefully crafted to play a part.

Gay Barry the Magic Mulatto fronted a political faction of the ruling class which was the hardcore Boomer revolutionaries, ideologues and cultural Bolsheviks, but there were other factions at play in the Biden Regime that Gay Barry did not control even as President himself, much less after he left office. There's always been competing factions who hate each other with personal vendettas just as much, if not more than they hate Dirt People. Obama wasn't simply a puppet of his faction, because his power as President was not merely symbolic, either. I have sorted the ruling class into four main factions, and Obama was a leader of only one that was found wanting, hence his irrelevance after the disaster of the Bad Orange Man which I would bet long money many of the other factions blame him for creating by his incompetence.

Brutal. A bit over the top, but not quite jumping the shark. Thought-provoking.

Who be the master and who be the slave? Think about that. It is 110% for sure that there will be no worldwide peace in this millennium just as there has been none in the last 7.

Humans are not advanced enough to avoid wars. The only question is whether they will allow themselves the time to overcome their arrogance and vanity. None of us, one way or another will be alive to see how it emerges.

Some smart guy a long time ago said something like "only the dead have seen an end to war"

I'm going to Costco & see if they have a time machine yet, I want to talk to that guy.
