Observing my own brain for a second, it seems like one of the risks of reading a lot of history is you can get the impression that we’re much more wise about how to deal with geopolitics than we are, because you are necessarily reading something that benefits from hindsight. I think people try and get at, what were people thinking at the time (there’s a whole exhibit in the world war 2 museum about the decision to enter the war) but that feels emotionally obfuscated by the fact that most of what you’re reading is post-hoc analysis.

But like 50 years from now, everything that’s going on will seem really clear.

I bear upon you a first hand account.

The then lawless frontier rouge state Ukraine was host to a CIA sponsored safe house where a white hate white terror thought control cell directed the rape and murder of the families (women, children, men) of Russian sleeper agents from “the old world.”

Note, these had always been there, were retired, and had no active operations, they were relics.

One of the four early super sonic missles obliterated this cell and every trace.

I do not condone the unlawful warfare upon the Ukrainians however the circumstance is far more complex than laypersons are capable of comprehending (world shattering wtf.)

We are thought controlled! The war is raging within us all this very moment.

"But I actually think that what’s going on here is that the West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path. And the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked. And I believe that the policy that I’m advocating, which is neutralizing Ukraine and then building it up economically and getting it out of the competition between Russia on one side and NATO on the other side is the best thing that could happen to the Ukrainians."

What an apologist for Putin…

With BS statements such as

> The Russians didn’t conquer or invade Crimea. The Russians didn’t invade Crimea. They were already there because they had a leasing agreement. There’s a naval base at Sevastopol, and the Russians were leasing

Sure they had a leasing agreement over parts of Crimea but they sure didn’t have military control of it all
