The people that emerged from the Soviet Union after it's collapse were not humans. They were Soviet Man, aka Evil fucking Communists, not humans. Humans don't starve each other to death by the millions like the commies did.
You could argue the same about the Chinese, the Germans, and even the French with their barbarity during the French revolution.
I would argue there's a common thread to all these catastrophes, that they're not unrelated, and the same dark cloud that fell in each case is now trying to descend once again. We might not believe in dark forces, magic, demons or whatever, but there's a madness that seems to erupt periodically prior to wars/revolutions that overtakes populations. You could say its genetic hangover from our blood lusting ancestors, but I don't think that covers it. Even the average person recognises a sort of madness had overtaken the world in the past few years.
Anyway, the point being.. we're not inherently violent IMO. It's a lie. A very contagious, deadly, and as it turns out profitable, lie. I see no real urge to get round a table and negotiate from the west, it's like the powers
want an escalation. Now we're sending them fucking tanks. What next, no-fly zones? This is not the direction we should be going.
I'm tired of this shit and people playing this tribal game, pretending Putin just started this out of thin air. It's nonsense. You can literally look through google to find the history of the past decade, and further. This incident didn't just happen in a fucking vacuum, unlike the last half-dozen 'wars' the west has engaged in. Russia is no saint, but we are completely full of shit in the west. I'm sick of it, the media lies and the gullibility of the public. We have no excuses after Iraq and it fucking does my head in that people still want to play this stupid tribal game.
It's all just a game until it's not and your loved ones are now in a war zone. There's ultra-rich cunts in the west who are profiteering of this, again. Stoking this 'red vs blue' crap. Fucks sake. War is shit. Especially when it's over such petty crap. Ukraine is fucking
huge. Just give those two areas that are already predominantly Russian to the Russian's, sign a peace deal, pull NATO back, pull Russia back, have a few vodkas together and stick middle fingers up to the war hawk cunts hiding in the shadows looking to placate the demons of war.
