Popeye1945, I've been around for long enough, and I've thought about it hard enough, to distrust all grand-narratives whether they come from the USA, Russia, China or a Putin/Xi led BRICS. Humans nature ensures that we prefer a tensioned balance between individualism and the collective. And history shows that such a tensioned balance is what works best economically and politically. Dictatorships invariably get the balance wrong, hence the fall of dictatorships of Nazi Germany and the USSR. Let me ask you, Why, after the collapse of the old communist USSR, the newly free nations of eastern Europe ran to the arms of the West rather than remain in Russia's tender embrace? Was it because they know only too well the tender mercies of Russian enslavement.
Typical American propaganda, speaking of Russia as if Stalin and the Soviet Union were still in power, yes even Russia found Stalin to be a beast. America has no such beasts, right? You live in delusion, at least half the world knows America for what it is and that is not a kindly democracy. The elite run your country as they do in Russia and China. China is a communist country in name only, better called, state capitalism, and they are doing it better than America. If you want to speak of domination, America has eight hundred military bases around the world, if you count America's bum boy the UK closer to nine hundred or more. The West is not the pillar of virtue it has been riding on the backs of the colonized countries of the Eastern hemisphere for at least two hundred years. Countries rich in natural resources with populations in extreme poverty due to their masters from the West. The power of the BRICS FEDERATION is growing at a profound rate for a reason, the Eastern hemisphere wants out from under the heel of Western powers of colonialism. So, according to your vision of the past which is a colonial past, it can be nothing but a colonial future, much of the world disagrees, and that my friend is what you are seeing, enough is enough, lean towards the light.
Putin, like Hitler and Stalin, cares about one thing: power. The nations aligning themselves with the Putin and Xi led BRICS are setting themselves up for a rude awakening. The West, whose colonizing days are long gone, may, I hope, intervene to help save Eastern Europe, but the BRICS, under the dictators Putin and Xi, will, like the nations of Eastern Europe, end up struggling to be free of their dictatorships. Today's political messiahs are tomorrow's dictator devils. The people of Russia and China have no means to rid themselves of these dictators short of violent revolution, which is the battleground wherein all dictatorships eventually end. NATO and the West are not interested in territorial gains. China and Russia do have territorial ambitions. So, where will that end? World peace and prosperity?
"The West's colonizing days are in the past." You are the ultimate in nativity, what on earth do you think America's monster war machine is about lad? If the West was a cooperative member of the global community there would be no BRICS, there would be no threat to the extinction of all life on this planet. Just count the millions upon millions of dead due to America's war-making in the past fifty years, and its present genocide in Gaza, you have no moral high ground to stand on. "NATO and the West are not interested in territorial gains."-----lol!! Is Russia on the border of America or is America on the border of Russia, you are so painfully American apple pie that it is difficult to take you seriously. What do you think the other half of the world is reacting to? Are they all evil demons depraved in all their intentions? Tip, see people as people, not monsters the elite paints them as. Everything is a process, understand it that way.Statistics: Posted by popeye1945 — March 15th, 2024, 4:44 pm
