My perspective is that the oligarchy that ruled the western empire wants World War III: One, there is not going to be a future time when the west will have military superiority again. Two, both Russia and China are governments that rule over their oligarchs giving power to the people, which directly threatens the power of the hegemony that guarantees the continuation of aristocracy and existing dynasties in the oligarchy of the West, which cannot compete, so it must control and dominate the government to dominate the will of the population. Three, popular direct-democracy, nationalized resources, deny corporate ownership of resources in communal governance, which directly threatens oligarchy. Four, BRICS alliances prompting dedollarization and mutual benefit trade means profits in terms of winners and losers will cost the western banking system over 12 trillion dollars in profits based on exchange rates and fees. Five, the west in decline will no longer be able to support greater than 750 known military bases and countless NSA/CIA sites. All of this creates a dire need for World War Three, which we are actually in the third year of in a warm war fought by proxy satellites. But, the reality in terms of Cold World War most likely began at the end of the victorious end of the Cold War following World War Two. World War Three could flash hot in Africa, the Middle East, with China, or in Ukraine. But all of those are being cultivated as we speak.

Thanks for providing a cold honest look at what looked like just another overblown promise designed to mobilise a section of the electorate demographic. People are stuck in the old paradigm of believing that to win elections you have to represent something that people want to support. What we see now is the winning candidate had probably exclusive access to X's data and instead of creating a platform and attracting people to it, they instead look at what people click on and appeal to that instead - which maximises the reach and appeal of that campaign. It doesn't matter what kind of misinformation soup led to people believing what they believe up to now, all that matters is that you have the technology to access that data and use it to your advantage irrespective of what people feel is morally right. The "algorithm" will deliver you the win irrespective of your opponent. People had better wise up cos this isn't changing anytime soon.

Very happy that the Biden/Harris genocidal team of Dem warmongers has been punished by a fed up electorate. Whether president-elect Trump can wave his magic, deal-making wand to end the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine, remains to be seen. It's not a bad idea to be somewhat skeptical.

It is far more likely that the Russians will end this after they've completed their clean up in the Donbas and dispatched as many stinking Nazis as they can manage. Russia is clearly in the "driver's seat" and won't be dictated to by the discredited Anglo/American axis of meddlers and bunglers. Crimea and eastern Ukraine belong to the Russian Federation and that will prove non-negotiable. If the U.S. under Trump chooses to continue feeding the corrupt regime of criminal Zelenskyy, it risks much more than getting a black eye as it pertains to their tarnished international reputation. Russia will prevail.

Ah, 32 minutes of hate speech from two of my favorite hate speechers. Thanks!

Also I’m really happy Trump won, as an American stuck in America, the notion of extending the neoliberal neocon regime four more years felt nightmarish. I don’t have lofty expectations from a Trump admin but I do believe he genuinely doesn’t want us engaged in wars. Whether he can overcome the blob in this term remains to be seen but at least there’s a chance. And I feel less likely to end up in a gulag based on my social media habits. So that’s something.
