The industrial military complex story is a long one. And I'm not talking about NATO allies, I'm talking about those outside who they backed, got them into a big scrap, them dumped. The list is extensive. And you yourself have argued that NATO caused all of this in the first place via encroachment, so there you go.
As for our empire, WW1 ruined us, WW2 gave the empire nations the call to oppose.
WW1 certainly started the ball rolling certainly....WW2 made it permanent, all while keeping that from the public, which has been the underlying reality of our politicians since.
When it comes to this war....it makes perfect sense to me why Ukraine would be fighting Russia since the 2022 invasion (though there own politicians have responsibility for putting them into that position, after getting elected promising peace).
I understand why Russia are fighting, though I think they made the wrong choice in invading and have always said so.....ultimately they are the aggressors.
However, the positions that Europe's social liberals have taken in response to the war has been nuts in my view and I've made that clear over the years. I think I have been proven correct....and for years I was mocked on here by those who now don't appear on these pages.
Once again, the public were lied to about something that has affected their lives and the possibility that our leaders will push our military into a conflict with Russia is real......I wouldn't put it pass these nuts because their egos are severely dented.
But for Joe Public? Why would western Europeans die fighting eastern Europeans in a war between slavs? Especially since European governments are openly replacing Europeans with non Europeans.
What would they be fighting and dying for exactly? So Starmer and that frog can talk about 'values'? Let the egalitarians fight Russia.
Yep, I feel that's an important point....Let the left and the social liberals fight Russia......Let those so keen on that war go fight it. Nothing is stopping any of these 'warriors'.
Their hatred of Russia is dressed up as concern about Ukraine.....Well Ukraine is now destroyed when the war could have been stopped years ago....it is now an economic ball and chain around Europe.....Just as I said it would be. Our energy bills can be charted against the war...not totally the reason why but it's part of it.
What people should be concerned about is what is best for Britain the country.....Not their personal egos. But of course that's not what we get.
What we get are globalists and those more concerned about what EU leaders think.
