    Read the book by Barbara Walters. How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them. I probably don’t agree with her politically but I trust her abilities that she has a lot to offer on explaining. how governments destroy other governments via asymmetrical and/or proxy war and state sponsored terrorism. Through direct and indirect measures, all forms of terrorism is curated and created by state actors. I hate Putin. But he had every right for what he did. And like a self-fulfilling prophecy, Europe is pissing its pants… they made their bed, now they got a lay in it. But the Yankee had a lot to do with it. Most people live in a vacuum, and each conflict is like a whole new world to them. When in reality war never ends, the book of history never closes. Capitalism will always be riddled with conflict. Cooperation is the rule of civilization. Competition is the rule of the jungle.

      You’ve been propagandized.

      Ukraine wants and deserves to be free of Russian imperialism.

      Why didn’t he start the war when the Baltics joined Nato and surrounded Kaliningrad?

      How about when we hear that treaty negotiations require the wholesale destruction of the enabling Nazi infrastructure in Ukraine

      Are there demands for anyone to stand trial for genocide in the Hague as part of the treaty?

      Nah, it’s all about land
