I'm sorry, I couldn't make it through the whole article. You may be new to geopolitics, but after everything you've witnessed over the last two years just with regard to "COVID" and the drug companies and mandates, how on earth can you continue to believe what the government and the media tell you, or how they characterize it? How can listen to them tell you that it's a very clear cut case of good versus evil, and that the Western establishment are the good guys? How can you go on to repeat this narrative in good conscience when you have obviously never once looked outside of the MSM for information?

I was following Ukraine 8 years ago when the US funded and trained *literal* neo Nazi's to stage a coup and overthrow the elected leader. I was following it because they had just done the very same thing, using the very same strategy in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria, and the pattern was very clearly established.

You should really look into the condition of Libya before its ostensible "dictator" was overthrown and murdered, as Hillary took so much delight in pointing out. If there ever was a more advanced example of representative, participatory democracy in existence on this planet, or a people who were lifted so high, from so low, by the benefit of the nation's resources, I have not seen it.

These are the "good" guys- https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/us-votes-against-un-adopted-anti-nazi-resolution-while-australia-abstains/

As for Iran, the only reason the West hates them is because Israel hates them. If you'd like to show us a drawing of an old-timey cannonball-shaped bomb to warn us of how Iran is just minutes away from possessing a nuclear bomb, you should know that nonsense has been more thoroughly discredited than the face diapers have. I'm not even going to bother telling you how they've striven for international compliance only to be rebuffed by our fifth-column controlled congress, because you should have the integrity to find that out for yourself before writing about what a threat they pose.

I'm sorry, your other writings are good, but you're out of your depth here. It always astonishes me how people can go from denouncing the duplicitous cesspit of MSM on one subject to repeating their claims verbatim on another in the same breath. How do you decide which one they're lying through their vile, foul mouths about, and which one they represent with unassailable truthfulness?

(FYI, Mathew Crawford wrote an excellent article on the subject, which is called "Gell-Mann Amnesia") https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/gell-mann-amnesia-dissonance-and?s=r

For the sake of a nod toward objectivity, and a bit of a different perspective, here's an author who lives in Ukraine- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPxpPT4b4vnDlX0sBGz3r4Q/videos

This is not meant to be an insult or attack, but to your point, some things can be more dangerous than weapons. From my point of view, the biggest danger is ignorance. We've all been guilty of holding and sharing opinions we weren't really qualified to have in the first place, but when you find yourself speaking in unison with people who have revealed themselves to be the most corrupt evildoers on the planet, it's probably time to do some self-reflection. "Mee too-ing" on this subject amounts to support for war, and runs counter to your true intentions.

In a way, Russia knows it can bully the EU via those awful weapons and we ought to remind them that we have them as well. No sane person can wish a nuclear conflict given the messy aftermath of those remained waiting to die. I'm not sure that the Southern hemisphere can evade the mess from the fallout. But Russia threatens nuclear use which has been a no-no for a very long time.

Should this Ukraine issue drag on for too long, I can't see the world allowing it. Biden & company had better be prepared to become much more vocal about our tolerance. With the Russian economy collapsing rapidly, I fear them becoming irrational. There really needs to be a summit to resolve the issue. While China may have wanted a bit of trouble, I suspect they are getting quite worried about their good friend. China has an awful lot to lose with the collapse of the world economy.
