As long as man has walked the earth, they’ve always craved power. Hasn’t changed from the time of cavemen to the Egyptians to the Romans to the crusades to now.
Good reasons to do bad stuff didn’t start with the west and it won’t end with the west. It will reign until a comet, a climate or some other force decides to end it for us.
The fundamental claim of the UN, of "Progress" is that we can do better.
But our current crop of Western, say UK/US visionaries not only is destroying the gains from the Magna Carta and US Constitution but basic human liberties we fought for and must fight for again if we can't politically secure them, and take on the enemies of human liberty, and get them voted down and out of power.
Putin called them thugs, thieves because they broke their promises to Russia over decades of negotiations. He has nowhere to run.
So because we were the movers and shakers he objects to....... well, our elites and our NAZI footsoldiers.......he began pushing back. We can't seriously claim to be on higher moral ground when we lock up election protestors, silence discussion on media sites, and indulge in super hyped warmongering rabble rousing to support a sick, weak little man who should have chosen to negotiate rather than do his war dance.
We picked him, we set him up. He restricted political rights to half of the Ukranian population, jailed their political leaders and cruelly tortured ethnic Russians who didn't support him. Azov battalion soldiers disfiguring captured separatists, the most cruel and unnecessary war crimes in this century, then they set up fake photo shots with British camera crews to blame Russia for the same damn stuff. War is Hell, sure, and Truth the first casualty. Nobody should just believe what they're "told" during a war. We really don't have "facts" we can trust. Claims by all sides have to be examined critically. Stories of war crimes by Ukranian soldiers and govenment against ethnic Russians were pushed out in 2014. It's a fact that Russian ethnic people were marginalized in elections. Some were excluded from running for office,some were excluded from voting, many were harassed and intimidated. Over a million left for Russia. To join the separatists endangered your family and friends. A lot of people fled to the separatist areas.
Our media doesn't tell us about it. I have to go the world over to find the pics and details. I do wonder if there is not enough damnation for both sides to be fried in Hell, but we can't get past this without deciding we can do better, and that we must.
If the UN wants credibility it has to break the UK/US control/agenda and become capable of making a peace that can stand.
Failing of that, sources have told me privately that Jesus is coming. That won't change human nature, but it will set up a new world order that has better principles.
