During the 1940's fall of the 3rd Reich, US General George Patton proposed establishing a democratic government by removing Stalin and his subversive, criminal leadership. US General Dwight D. Eisenhower had no stomach for additional conflict, and let Stalin live. As a result, the world has been left with a legacy of millions tortured, 100's of millions alcoholics with destroying social fabrics, and an endorsement of Stalinism through inaction. Today we still live with Eisenhower's legacy, as Putin's adoption and execution of Stalin-esque fascism. Endorsement by inaction, allowed the rise of new a newest generation of fascist leaders including JinPing, Ramaphosa, Meloni, and Trump.
If Putin does resort to nuclear weapons, he along with his victims are dead. The US's Executive Order 11905 @1976 prevents peacetime assassination of countries' leadership. IMO, a huge mistake. Putin like JinPing (as well as Rupert Murdoch) needs to go.
Last week was rumored China's JinPing was under house arrest. The rumors have echoed and is now reaching media outlets. The US's Trump and his most vocal followers under indictment, have been arrested, tried by their peers, and placed in prison for breaking US laws. As we know all know, transparency is essential for a democracy to work. In the US criminal and civil prosecution is a slow process. Rapid removal is a much more forward and public process. They just shoot and kill leaders in front of all national and international media.
One never knows how Russian controversial leaders exit power. Sometimes they will lose their footing and fall from a 20fl window, other times food poisoning (polonium) or a sudden heart attack or stroke (via a bullet).
Maybe people are finally tired of this generation of fascists and will remove them from power with their own culture's particular style..
Secondly, If you don't care about fascism, you shouldn't care about the millions in the middle-east killed. When in history has a "democratic government" decided to engage in an unprovoked invasion a of a foreign country without a political leader bent on the agenda?
If you say you care about the millions killed in the middle east by nato and want to change that trajectory, look at the root causes, decision makers and potential responses available at the time. Removing militant fascists from positions of political power IS the thing you should care about.
Note how secret treaties, political agendas, military leaders with hidden agendas subverted political leadership aka creating the line of early 1900's fascists, a legacy we're all still living with today. It's the conditions where fascism rears its head is the thing you should be both worried and care about.
Hi Chris, If not NATO, it's themselves. Do you think the Ottomans were having tea and pudding parties with leaders to convince tribes to join ?? Did you forget about the Barbary slave trade ?
It's rather ironic the only way to keep highly social creatures from annihilating each other is distance and isolation.
I will predict one thing: conservatives are being primed by Russian propaganda to consider Putin "the Christian" as their friend. When WWIII comes, the West will justifiably consider conservatives as traitors.
Please don't fall for Russian (ie. FSB) propaganda. Side with Russian dissidents, with the Ukrainian people both of which are victims of Putin and his evil policies.
I would happily support a Ukraine genuinely fighting for independence. But their regime is fighting to enter the EU and NATO. If you think Putin is bad, wait till you hear about NATO!
The Ukrainian government is one thing, the people is another. In the current war, supporting the Ukrainian people involves supporting Nato. But that does not mean that will always be this way.
Oh, i forgot to mention that Russia has targetted conservatives with propaganda to neutralize them as opposition. One such lies is: Putin is a Christian and defender of Christianity... If Putin were a Christian he would have followed Just War doctrine in Ukraine and not lied about Ukrainian Nazis who don't exist in any meaningful numbers.
I don't agree with your assessment of the war. WWII would not have lasted as a long as it did and killed as many people if Hitler had been stopped in Austria or Czechoslovakia. Furthermore, if you read up on Putin's background you will conclude that he murders anyone that opposes him (journalists, politicians), creates false flag events (Moscow appartment bombings) to have the people rally behind him and starts wars preemptively on invented pretexes of deNazifying Ukraine as an excuse for reestablishing the Soviet empire whose collapse he declares being the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century. He has manipulated the media in Russia to convince the public that the West wants to destroy Russia , when it is in fact the reverse; Soviet defector literature repeatedly shows that Russia and China are allied together to bring about world communism. The West cannot give an inch in the Ukraine if it wants to remain free.
Furthermore, don't fall for the apocalyptic arguments of anti-nuclear weapons organizations. Nuclear weapons are very destructive, but not as destructive as world communism which would kill billions through plagues and, famines as already demonstrated in China and the ex Soviet Union.
For further reading, I invite you to read Jeff Nyquist, who is an expert on Soviet defector literature.
Putin does not encourage mass immigration in Europe, or sex changes for kids. US drone bomb kids. Moral equivalent. Poland carved up Czech with Hitler. Ruled by junta. Then US and UK made Europe.and Asia safe for communism with Stalin. Putin right when says catastrophe. Biggest economic and lifespan collapse seen in history, millions of Russians citizens of other countries overnight, country raped by West. If Russia has turned to China, west to blame. A Christian Russia should have been welcomed into the fold. Instead colour revolutions funded all over the borders, meanwhile China made rich by West which maintained communism and continued to ban Christianity while hundreds of thousands new churches built in Russia.
Chris, you have no idea what Putin and his staff are thinking or feeling about a topic it is complete supposition on your part. In psychological terms, it appears you are "projecting" your feeling and ideals onto someone else.
There is a moral stand to be taken. But errors (US drone strikes) killing one are two children vs deliberately targeting children's hospitals or sexually torturing girls as a punishment against their families and keeping stalls of dozens of little boys for sexual pleasure (Iraq) is not one of them. You need to get a sense of reality.
To the casual observer, it looks like the "US and other "countries" came in to take advantage of other countries after WWII. That is not what happened. New government leaders made treaties with the US and UK governments. They didn't have to, but they did. Why, because they wanted to align themselves with the winners who had the resources to help feed and rebuild their countries. Some did go to Stalin, but the vast majority fought too hard and sacrificed everything just to be ruled by another fascist dictator.
If China and Russia align themselves, it's a good thing for the West. It reduces the number of containment strategies. We are seeing the return of the "Iron Curtain". The Soviets said it was their idea, lol.. The truth is no Western country would do business with a fascist dictator (Stalin) after WWII.
I'm not sure where you get the idea that the US as a country is exploiting other countries. The US is not a monarchy or an oligarchy. It owns no businesses to gain profits. It only responds to threats to sovereignty, US citizens and businesses (technically a protectorate) overseas.
You need to do better than Murdoch's Tucker Carlson, making inflammatory statements to drive media viewership. It may backfire and become problematic unless you have a billionaire paying you an exorbitant salary and covering you legal fees. It's an easily crossed thin line, a trap to fall into. Look at the US's Alex Jones and the Sandy Hook shooting's lawsuits.
If you want to hop on conspiracy theories, try european and businesses and cultists (Masons, Knights Templar) making the US. This is not conspiracy theory. Look at the video of opening the time capsule in the US's Robert Lee statue. You will see Masons, Knights Templar membership ledgers of business, political and military leaders.

Yes, the West is guilty of alot of wrongs no doubt the worst of which I think is making communist China rich through trade, but we still live in a freer society than Russia where dissidents of the war are arrested.
Despite Putin's retoric, Russia is not a practicing Christian country. For example it has double the abortion rate than the US and while there are a growing number of Christian believers in Russia, they don't attend church services and are less likely to practice their faith.
The Orthodox Church which is controlled by the FSB, enjoys lots of government support while all other denominations have to be registered and surveiled. Any foreign priest speaking against the government is expelled from the country.
So in my view Christian Russia is still in its very infancy. What still controls the country is the FSB, which has maintained power despite the supposed democratization of the country.
Furthermore, in the West there are plenty of people who resist all the moral degradation promotted by our governments. Such moral degradation is very convenient to Russia and China who have aspirations of imposing their New World Order.
Yes, Russia is still in the post-Soviet doldrums. But it is not a true enemy of the West. Abortion and divorce rate decreasing etc. Western leadership is filth.
Russia is not a big strong country. The idea they have global aspirations - comparable with what NATO and China do around the world - is incorrect in my view.
The Soviet Union agreed to disarmament treaties in the late 80's and then resumed building its nuclear arsenal. They currently have more and newer nuclear weapons than the US, whose last nuclear weapon was built in the early 90's. So they are a major threat with Putin and the KGB in power.
You may also be interested in reading up on Alexander Dugin, Putin's intellectual who also promotes Traditionalism. This sounds Christian but it is not. It is the founding ideas for the merging of all religions. So by pushing extreme desmoralization in the West (which I believe is coming from Russia anf China), conservatives are being primed to accept the deChristianization of the West in favor of something that appears less evil.
At the beginning of the war I thought as you did. But I changed my mind once I read up on Putin's background and Soviet defector literature.
That article is ridiculous. That is not what Medvedev said at all. There is no way Russia has the strength to project power beyond its old imperial or Soviet borders. The only reason they extended to Berlin was because Churchill and FDR and their communist underlings gave it to them.
Indeed. Western leadership are filth, but they are currently restrained by checks and balances of western democracies. Putin is a dictator, product of the evil KGB that has been eliminating all opposition in Russia, who invents reasons to preemptively attack Ukraine who posed no threat to Russia. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine. Ukraine agreed to hand over its nuclear weapons in the 1990's on condition that Russia would not attack them. And those Ukrainian Biolabs we heard about 6 months? Those were built by the Soviet Union and later used for other purposes.
So yes the Russian people are not the enemy of the West but Putin is. Just look who his friends are: China, Iran, North Korea...
Restrained? Don't be silly. They just locked us down for years and masked our kids. They bomb kids in the Middle East. They outsource jobs to Asia and import their drugs. Try criticizing LGBT in England, or Floyd in the US.

I do not care. As I have said over and over, the NATO countries killed millions in the Middle East.

Not unprovoked.
As for ME, Saddam was armed by US, then toppled for a lie.
What is fascism anyway? Anything not democratic? Do you think voting shifts anything in the 'democracies'?
