here's another couple of points i'd like to briefly bring to your attention :
[2][starts]
(1) from the fall of the Soviet Union onward, we've driven Moscow into a corner by fostering pro-western thinking among the populations of that fallen Union.
(2) we've been "smart" by first taking the Baltic states[0] into our EU and NATO alliances, and then we drove Moscow's leaderships into the lashing-out state of mind when we ignored the Minsk Agreement negotiations (about the Russian-speaker-inhabited Donbass region)[1].
(3) when Belarus came into play (when Russia set up military drills with them), we were indecisive or outright ignored them with a smirk on some of our faces, not arming Ukraine for a quick victory against Russia, but instead we kept the flow of arms to Ukraine in a drips-at-a-time mode, ensuring our arms industries (and especially the US arms industries) could make money off a protracted war in Ukraine.
(4) Putin and his subordinates, while completely on the defensive, were painted as 'the next clan acting like Hitler's clan' in international media (media moguls and anchors who happily went along *again* with these *evil plans* forged and sustained by men and women far wealthier than me, who operate from behind the curtains), while Zalensky, who had willingly driven his people into this slaughter of their own elderly and subsequent protracted war, was painted as a strong hero-leader. this is also very wrong, in my view. the leaders who can use diplomacy effectively to ensure peace and prosperity for their people should be hailed as heros, not the (secretive/sexy) warmongerers.
[2][ends]
i consider myself a volunteer analyst and somewhat of a historian-writer *for* NATO.
and i don't mind the outcome of a Ukranian victory one bit, western control of the grain and wheat supplies generated by Ukranian farmers will be a good thing for vital western interests like controlling the ambitions of the very ambitious Iranians for instance.
but what i *do* mind, are the NOT-SO-MINOR side-effects : prolonged war & recurring wars (when measured over the decades and centuries) to sell more arms, and starving people in 3rd world countries.
i want that to end, or at least get managed a lot better (along with the need for our own military to usurp quite that much money per year).
and i'll do it by exposing the wealthy families behind the curtains, not by online-verbally attacking the politicians, whom i consider in most cases just the spokespeople for these wealthier families who operate from the safety and secrecy of their comfy yachts, retreats and secured homes.
up until now i've done so only at this forum.
but i can expand my reach, with relative ease even.
this is not meant to be a threat, it's meant to rattle the golden cages of such families-behind-the-scenes a bit.
to see what their response would be to the following :
so here's my ultimatum : change these policies within the next 10 years, or i *will* go on the online 'offensive'.
of course, my own business ventures at
nicer.app web apps framework, (
Business headlines on nicer.app might be of use to you all, by the way) and my other business plans will most likely be affected by this decision i just made.
but reaching wealth from the working class (social welfare class even, at the moment, i suffer from a sleep-rythm-balance problem), is not my greatest priority in this early 21st century.
using the emerging internet powers available to people from my economic class to bring positive change into the worlds of people who aren't wealthy enough even for proper internet equipment, is.
[0] Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (especially Lithuania) on the North-Western Russian border, closing off Kalinggrad province, which is now also barred from receiving steel imports, another seemingly smart move to prevent the Kalingradians from building ships with which to sail into the North Sea and pose dangers to North-Western Europe and the UK and Ireland islands.

Minsk agreements - Wikipedia
IN ADDITION : we've provoked the Russian bear[2]. given it time to retreat and plan a counter-offensive to regain control over the Black Sea, which is now isolated (Crimea), as is their access to the North-Sea (Kalinggrad).
This is what you get when you put greedy amateur business-world "military analysts" in the driving seat of entire alliances like the EU and NATO : crappy long-term planning.
The Chinese *will* use the Iranians and the Muslims to their advantage, to kill both the Donkey (US democratic party) and the Elephant (US republican party), along with their "henchmen", the EU parliament, by poisonous insect stings (attacks that can't be traced back to them, to which *they* will own the rights of implausibility).
