Believing in insane religious concepts is a form of insanity. Its self-induced not a malfunctioning brain.
All religions are insane. And Shii Islam is no more insane than American "Zionism Christianity", Indian Shivaism, Chinese version of Communism, North Korean Juche, or Russian cult of Mother Wet Soil.
Its not happening now, so it doesn't matter. Actually Nostradamus said it doesn't happen.
I don't believe in Nostradamus prophesies, but we are not taling about my or yours personal belives. We are discussing belives of Jewish, American and Iranian back-room decision-makers. And most of them are cold-blooded and rational thinking bastards. They calculate risks, and they usually do it well, avoiding major damage for their countries and thinking about self-protection.
But if people allow clowns from political scene participate in decision-making, bringing their own irrational ideas - the situation becomes quite different.
I mean, if American "moderate Satanists" just commit their cabal meetings on some Epstein island with ritual rapings of minor girls and boys and commiting some human sacrifices and paying some money for Israel - it's just your own business. Nobody cares. But if they believe that they can sacrifice tens of millions of Americans to protect Israel and allow them to build the Third Temple, it means that deterrence ceased its existence and Russians have no other option but to nuke you preemptively.
Ukrainians defending Ukraine from invading Russians are not Nazis. You can call them Nazis, but they aren't.
Of course they are. In our own understanding of the word. And "Ukrainian Nazies type III" (in our understanding) are pretty same people who are called Nazies (aka White Supremacists) in traditional American understanding of the word.
We weren't hired by Russians as mercenaries to die fighting in Russia.
Yes, you were. Not directly, not for cash, but for the Bomb, that was created for you by Communist International, and for the place in the post-war world.
Mercenaries fight for money, and they don't fight when they are sure to die. They prefer easy money.
Everyone is fighting (or doing anything else) for money. Just some times there are miscalculations about how much one can earn, for what and with what risks.
There are 1 billion citizens in NATO countries, 450 million Europeans, and 143 million Russians, do the math.
Right now, with the current Russian superiority in artillery and UAVs, there is exchange 36 "Europeans" for one Russian. Do the math. And, of course, if there is an escalation to the open regional war level, we'll count not artillery, but nukes. And Russia has more than five thousand non-strategic nukes for few hundreds of European both strategic and non-strategic nukes.
There is a Law of Diminishing Returns. We're capitalists, we only bang our head against the wall so long, 20-years is too long.
Nation-Building is a noble but very stupid idea, nations are governed more by karma than by the best of intentions.
Nation-building is nice and very profitable idea, but one needs to do it right. Say, Russians created Czechs to destroy Austria-Hungary, and it was destroyed, and Austrians (and then Poles and Soviets) tryed to create Ukrainian nation, and it was hardly even half-succesful.
Americans didn't even actually tryed to build nations in Southern Vietnam or in Afghanistan, may be, because of lack of political reasons or because of the deeply rooted racism. I'm not sure that they were successful even in the building actually united American Nation.
