myata Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 (edited) It happens in a bizarrely similar way to the last time: the liberal elites, running out of energy and ideas, increasingly senile, deflated of will and impotent. Imitation and repetition in place of perpetual seeing, knowing, responding and changing. But in evolution, no one is given a free ticket. It can only be earned for a few stations, generations at a time and then, needs to be purchased again and again to prove the viability and claim to the future. The Time, the reality will always take care that great lectures and claims will be tested and verified for their viability. There will be no inflated claims and free tickets stamped and approved for the eternity. That moment, the next critical test seem to be looming right ahead for the collective West. Another brutal dictator has risen. He's building a new Axis. He will kick, push and test every posture and claim. And what do we see? Missiles and hostile planes have been flying in the "protected" airspace ostensibly freely. No action. Next to zero, reaction. In a major NATO state, "unidentified" drones, suspected hostile, have being surveying critical defense facilities for over a year, with zero effective outcome. A battalion of five tanks is "strengthening" NATO border defenses. Putin fires hundreds of missiles in a single salvo, and throws dozens of his rusting tanks in a single attack. "Europe's muddled armed forces 'could be washed away by Russia'" (The Times) Is this serious? Or some silly childish pantomime? Who is it intended to impress? Who's listening to the great sermons of strength and unity when the reality is as plain as a palm of the hand? West doesn't want to fight. "Avoidance" is the main strategy these days. It abhors the idea of fighting. It wants to forget it and pretend, believe it out of existence. Just like the last time. That always worked. Just ask a scared child. Just look. The enemy knows it. They can see and have seen it in plain sight. And if those who can and will fight, couldn't stand much longer: what will happen then, next? The bandits, encouraged and having smelled the blood would just go back to their lair? All will return to the business as usual, perpetual partying and happiness? Keep dreaming while it lasts. But in this reality, it will happen exactly as it had the last time: some will be overwhelmed and defeated. Others, devastated, decimated and quit. Others yet, will make their separate deals with the bandits, for a time only, till they are taken down one by one. A pretty fairy tale that just couldn't stand the blizzard of the reality. How common in our history. Edited January 8 by myata Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeitgeist Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 The decline of the West is really about new forms of Marxism and centralized authority running amok with top-down controls. This is a simple take on the situation: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
