I'm amazed that anybody would think that Russian strength is so weak. If NATO is so strong, why don't they just invade Russia and put an end to all the fighting? They can't. Russia is too strong.

Russia just might become the future for all of us.

Cool

Russia proved to be a strong country despite of the fact whole EU turned against them
During the critical time when things were not in control if at that time Russia survived - they can survive not.

Back in WW2 times, Russia had already destroyed the German military some time before D-day. And that may have been the reason why the US financed the Bolshevik Revolution in the first place... because they saw that the Germans were crazy for war, and they needed a defense up there that the Czar was unwilling to provide.

The point is, when Russia broke away from the US, they were so strong that they almost annexed all of Europe, before they proved to themselves that force is not the way to do it.

The Russia of today is a 'world-trade' oriented Russia, not a 'conqueror-by-force' Russia. That's part of the reason why the US fears them, and is acting so boldly as to trying to stick NATO all around them to destroy them.

The one final thing that the US has is world trade. And it is working well for her, even though she is using a debt-backed, inherently-useless, fiat currency rather than value-backed currency like Russia.

Putin might be greedy. Russian bankers might be greedy. Russia herself might be greedy. But none of them are as greedy as the US bankers, who are turning to the force that Russia formerly used in Stalin-times. And they are doing it to remain in control of world money. Russian trade is a threat to US world money control.

The way to essentially stop the war right now is to shut down the Federal Reserve Bank in the States. Such a thing might present problems to Americans. But if the US Treasury took over and did its job (as the Constitution says), it might not be as bad as one might think.

Of course, most funds, troops, and armament to Ukraine would immediately stop. So, Russia would take her over. It would be interesting to see if Russia would allow her to maintain her autonomy once things settled down... without the 20% that Russia already took over, of course.

Cool

The journey from World War 2 till date is still the same. US - Russia and other powerful countries still assert their power on the weak countier
Nothing has changed today - it reminds us of the era of chegez khan who felt pride in building tower of skull - nothing has changed in today's world
