Another point about Ukraine is how long incompetence can last.

The idea of trading a resource rich partner, Russia, for a incredibly corrupt declining state, Ukraine, shows how disconnected these Ivy boys and girls are. Perhaps, thru proxy battles, State can halt the economic integration of Eurasia but, for me anyhow, it looks like the ruling class showing their arse. Preferring blunt instruments of war than cooperation. Sure, we have Europe more dependent on the US but what does that gain them? A ghetto continent on a steep economic decline path and no end of coming civel unrest. (Flooding Poland with millions of refugees reminds me of a similar situation with Syria).

So while the fanatics at state continue to hector Americans and thr press obliges with tall tales I’m not sure how prepared we are for the long haul decline. It’s easier to fight a war and put up with hardships if you have a cause and future. The SCO looks very promising and is why more countries are joining every year. It’s also the countries that have the fastest growth, btw.

Meanwhile, the State fanatics have locked the western NATOstsn countries into a region of deceleration and decline. Russia could have been a partner for the west and arrested that decline. To bad. If we can’t take it we’ll break it seems to be the policy since ww2.

How do you now break over half the worlds population? Good times.
