Kinda long read and don’t disagree with it completely, but some I do.
So who are the Russian soldiers on the boarder there for?
Are they fighting for Russia? Do you honestly believe Ukraine is going to invade Russia. If you do, well...... that’s just laughable
Or are we just going to redraw some more international boarders and call it self defense?
I 100% agree with you. It's Russia: they have a major stake in the situation, if they somehow let Ukraine join nato they have nato on their doorstep just like we had Russia on ours. I personally want America to do something because I'm not going to lie and say that I value what we are doing, I just can't move assets that quick, and without receiving capital gains tax.
I believe Russia has a right just like any other country to do something, but I feel like once again..both sides will provide propaganda to make them seem like the side to choose, but in the end it's about what history has shown us: Cuban missile crisis, what we said when Russia was going to come back to Cuba/South America...
To be honest, since many people here aren't going to be 100% true to themselves..I think in the end we don't matter one bit in the grand scheme of things. The rich will always find a way to survive and god believes me when I say: They'll always outlive someone in the middle class, especially with what's offered on the public markets today. Learn how to play the game instead of working the 9-5 and letting other people constantly play you, that little 20-30 an hour doesn't mean shit when it comes to your freedom as an individual or ability to progress yourself.
Back to the topic: I believe that Russia will make their cause just to their people just as we have with the last few wars we've been in, To other countries, it might look bad..maybe not. In the end it's what the ruling class wants in ANKUS/UKRANE/RUS/WorldStage.
I'm just saying it flat out anyone in here who subjugates themselves to the fact that anyone cares about them besides (immediate) family is lying to themselves. I've saw it and I do it on a daily basis: money and honor is the only thing that will get anyone to do something: I mix arms with a few of your favorite people (likely), and they do favors for me and I do the same for them: we all want the same thing...security and money so we don't have to work a bad job. You do something for me and I got a little something for you in the future, else it makes me look bad.
Most of your people nowadays don't understand how much money really means in this world or what it can do, it brings you more time to do what you want and allows you to make life around you easier with "lobbying". Life is a simple game of can you throw the cash to make it go your way...and can you save the money and use it in the right way (when you are starting). When you start life if you aren't privileged to be born into a wealthy ass family it takes a lot longer to get the intrinsics. the older you get the more you understand the intrinsics. You can still die yes, but you have a lot more time to get stuff done once you garner the money you need to start making plays on a local/state stage. If you go to a federal/national level it's a lot harder and you need partners because it costs a lot more money. The only reason why we do this shit is for money, trust me...the only reason why we fight these wars and send the kids out who don't want to pay for college and the people who desire to join for benefits is that they are pawns in a global affair like Kissinger said. I have nothing but respect for each of the world's militaries, especially the American military that protects me and my assets.
I believe that the military members get the shit end of the stick when it comes to a symbiotic relationship because they don't get anything...I get protection for my assets and security that my stuff isn't going to be bombed or taken over by a foreign nation. Meanwhile, my money only offers them the GI bill, college...and a little bit of training on a skill. I wish they received more, but that's not what the people want. I hate to break it to you guys and I value each person in this forum as this is a great place for information, but...the elite don't have the time to think about us, it's about the money they can make and protect the immediate people around them...but can you blame them?
Russia wants what we want, the same for any other nation: Prosperity and Ease of life. People want what every other person wants: security, lack of fear..and freedom from being told what to do to the point they aren't individuals anymore. Nobody will do shit unless they get something they want.
I value the people in the intel community because they are mostly great people that want the same thing as most of us, but they get paid a fucking boat load..now that's where you want to be. The only problem with that is you can't hold any foreign assets and need to keep a clean background, but that's really it...everyone is in it for themselves at the end of the day. From people to nations.
I personally dislike the way the world is setup currently with money being the ruling factor, but we need to put our value into something. I believe America is a great country and the best that I personally know. I just believe that people get shit confused out here with what we are all being told. Think of America/Rus/Chi as this...you hire a motivational speaker to hype you up to go do something, and you do it? The whole reason to get you scared and hyped up is to get you to go fight these battles/do this shit they need you to do so someone above you can profit...because you are inspired. Look at 9/11 and bush. We were able to get the cleanup done at a rapid pace because of a motivational speech due to a bad bad situation.
