It’s like everyone’s favourite sociopathic genocidal statesman once said, America doesn’t have allies, she has interests.
Which, in turn, is a riff on a quote from Palmerston. A guiding principle of “real politik” and mantra of all our favourite war criminals.
The endless russophobic propaganda set up the stage for this
“Beltian”? What was the untranslated word?
It’s slang for division or amount.
“division/amount weapon for Ukraine” still doesn’t make sense to me
Maybe in a “distribute” kind of way? A la Gladio 2.0
that does sound reasonable
I will also say other major intended goals were weakening Russia and thus the Sino-Russo threat. I would say these 4 goals were more reactive goals from the pandemic recession and the empire’s crumbling sharpening, their sole strategy has been “weaken Russia” but with their lack of proper logic and foresight they panicked when things went downhill, when Russia actually went through with an invasion (praise God) and their economies crumbled under their own sanctions.
Yes, yanking Europe’s leash was always in the strategy, both to weaken Russia from losing customers and to not let their pets get too comfortable being autonomous human societies, but I do not think destroying the European economy wholesale was an original intended goal, more a desperate move to not completely drown.
They behave like paranoid, ruthless, shortsighted sociopathic bandits who are losing territory to sell product on. Their cutthroat and bloodthirsty M.O. was great when they were the young kid on the block blitzkrieging their way into power, but now that they are turning into the old man they don’t have the wisdom or coolheadedness or humility to keep it. Luckily they are about to be replaced not by someone like them but by a new movement for humanity. America may be one of the last true empires. It’s beautiful to see.
“Machiavellian” is the one word I would choose to describe our rulers. There is no moment we can trust these beasts.
