I look forward to the future. What could possibly happen flooding far right and Nazi battalions with stingers, RPG’s and small arms. Europe’s far-right problem just got a lot worse.

Meh...The far-right already has that here. They shoot themselves in the foot more often than not. And once they take over (witness the Taliban) they fail to govern effectively because they are so wrapped up in their ideology and hatred there is no room for compromise.

This seems to be an argument that the forces for democracy must tie their hands behind their backs rather than use unseemly tactics in the war for freedom.

I don't believe Putin represents freedom or democracy. I don't believe that the US and NATO really do either. But it's not hard to pick a side

It's like an argument about our two political parties...neither one is worth a f*ck. But one's maybe a little better. Both are going to use unseemly tactics, both are corrupt, and all governments are slaves to capital.

Chunks, you seem to want geopolitics to be reasonable and fair with everyone held accountable. World don't work that way. Never has. A million dead here and there means nothing in the greater scheme of things. All those people were gonna die anyway.

But it's getting better and tyrants like Trump and Putin are simply not allowed to push the entire world around for long.

I have already stated I think it’s all B.S and don’t have a side. Though one ranter seems to feel offended with any post of mine that contradicts his fever dream narrative.

Nor have I ever said that geopolitics is a spotless undertaking. What I do mind is criminal incompetence by these Ivy League psychos and the corporate media that backs them in constantly getting our dicks caught in our collective zippers.

It looks as though we’re all going to pay a collective price for these hacks and their supporters both economically and geopolitically. Some more than others. Those most responsible not at all. As is usually the case.

*I'm assuming you think "Mother Goddess" is Hillz.
Sounds like you're convinced that HRC 2016-2020 would have been worse than Trump.

As a state actor directly involved in the destruction of two functioning societies, her record of voting for the destruction of two others as my state Senator, one can easily make the argument that the right wing mother goddess is a war goddess serving a death drive.
I would also note that the Blueanon formation that resulted from mother goddess’ campaign incompetence also exhibits a death drive now on display. So much so that context and complexity no longer have meaning or tolerated. The blue hive is driven to punish its perceived enemies.
In short, I’m not sure what’s more dangerous, the liberal mother goddess ascending the presidency or the hive mind effects of her loss that is pulling our politics, NGO’s, economy into its death drive orbit.

If your position is one that rationalized Nazis in your Emanuel Goldstein hatred of Putin (say, when did that hatred begin?…) you might be part of a hive mind.

Some of us might object to where the hive is taking us.

I would also mention the blue hive is a largely upper middle class white liberal phenomenon. The same class that desires to rule but not to govern.

Object all you want, "we" are buckled in the backseat and will go where mama and papa take us.

Whether it be Blueanon or Qanon who drive us, we get to beg every two years for one or the other to take the wheel...and some few make the third choice to call an Uber.

Stupid things were done in the past, stupid things are currently being done, stupid things will be done in the future.

My goal is to live happily ever after.

I’m always left with the same two questions after your posts, Chunks… What in the hell are you talking about? And, what am I supposed to do about it?

The next thing that happens is an earworm starts up playing the phrase, “… bring us something we can use…”, and that leads to finding the ‘Songs From The Capeman’ youtube.

Enjoy!

Well yeah…

I’ve already said there gunna do what there gunna do.

Just describing the motivations of the hive mind with implications of its gravitational pull towards a sudden terminal point. We’re on the knifes edge. May not have much runway left to live that best you.

Lots of centrifugal force happening now. Oddly, it seems as though the war dept is the only one having a grip on reality. They seem to know what a ‘no fly zone’ means.

It would be the perfect ironic ending though, wouldn’t it? The most pampered class that has ever lived on the face of the earth would pull it all down in a hissy fit from their inability to deal with reality on its own terms?

Something tragically funny there.

I’ve always seen this protest from you Logs.
Always border policing. What’s your confusion exactly?

That right there is the most twisted description of Madame Clinton I have ever heard bar none. Even the repubs couldn't come up with anything more inflammatory.

I think I can say, without equivocation, that had she been elected, we would find our current situation much more tenable.

You may disagree, but allow me to say, forthwith and without reservation that you, sir, are wrong.
