Asking the white race and men more broadly to impose consequences for these criminal times is hope over experience.

No one really paid for Iraq. Or the Great Financial Crisis. Or Russian election interference. Or Trump I corruption, unnecessary COVID deaths, loan theft. January 6th. And so on.

I am looking forward to America's Nuremberg trials when sanity and democracy are restored. There simply can't be amnesty for the shit that is happening now.

“About 70 percent of the weapons and defense-related technology made in Estonia is exported to foreign customers. Last year, the country’s military industry revenues amounted to 500 million euro ($580 million), about €350 million of which was materiel sold overseas.”

White race and males broadly least affected by their rejecting liberal democracy as engine of Change: cultural, pol-econ, demographic.

Crisis is not considered ideology.

But revolt against US as symbol - progress thru linear time.

Whites and males least threatened, ambivalent crisis Narrators

Of course the U.S. is not the first country to sleepwalk into authoritarianism, but the speed with which it does, and with which most of both the elites and masses collaborate or simply accept it, is truly stunning.

Moscow will reject a ceasefire on current LOC.

What Trump proposes anathema to Putin's oft-repeated terms:

a) Full RF control of oblasts not currently occupied;
b) UA limits its armed forces;
c) UA NATO membership barred;
d) Moscow veto vote on UA security guarantees;
e) Ze/others out of gov etc

same as it ever was — Trump does Putin’s bidding

Trump: They should stop the war immediately. You stop at the battle line. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelenskyy and I told it to President Putin.

We'll know soon if Admin serious about UA deep strike. TLAMs in numbers sufficient to sustain a campaign. US eg has 200 older Block IV waiting modernization.

Next options less ideal. JASSM-ER range 600+ miles. Taurus ~ 320, SS/SCALP ~ 185. Tho DoD likely very sensitive keeping JASSM ER inventory.

The key factor is male psychological limbic fight or flight anxiety against Change (demographic, gender/cultural).

I saw it and totally understand that reaction. Especially taking what’s on screen at face value. Movie really is a satire and exaggerates and distorts pretty much each aspect. Latinos, whites, African Americans, liberals, conservatives. To make point fighting racism/misogyny is unending battle.

Do read @nigelgould-davies.bsky.social excellent analysis:

Moscow’s protracted war grinds on and its economy exhausts capacity.

Putin likely to escalate provocations against Europe to shake its unified aid to Kyiv.

Cuba sending combat troops to Ukraine a further sign of Russia’s limits.

Nigel Gould-Davies @nigelgould-davies.bsky.social · 22d

Time may no longer be on Russia's side.

US, EU and Chinese policies, and domestic strains, are reshaping Russia's calculus. So it is challenging Western resolve in risker ways. This is certain to escalate unless Europe responds.

The Russia–Ukraine war has entered a new phase

Recent policy choices by America, Europe and China, and domestic economic strains, are reshaping Russia’s calculus. Since time may no longer be on its side, it is challenging Western resolve in more risky and aggressive ways. This is certain to escalate unless Europe responds.

You realize Peter Jackson made that up.

Tolkein himself said Elrond and Gil Galad would not have had the strength to put the ring in the Fire, esp since so soon on Sauron's hand.

Peter Thiel’s favorite blogger “says he’s considering leaving the U.S. because the Trump administration is failing to kill democracy to his liking and he fears political retribution from Democrats if they regain power.” via @sfstandard.com

Citing fear of Democratic ‘vengeance,’ Curtis Yarvin says he may flee the U.S.

The far-right blogger doesn’t think the Trump administration has done enough to dismantle democratic institutions.

The US military - as a whole - is culturally more predisposed to misogynistic white national authoritarianism than many would like to believe. Or claim.

Watch this space. Closely.
