Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the march to nuclear Armageddon continues, unabated by sanity, humanity or self preservation. This is the biggest issue we face as a species today. Not global warming, white supremacy or even people trespassing on public property, that is where the elite want our attention, but a species wide extinction event, in an instant, that could literally happen any moment, is a far bigger threat. At least, a rational person would see nuclear immolation as more risky, than a theory that has a perfect record of predictions coming true… zero. Meanwhile, our elites are telling us that Putin is unhinged, and so must go. I don’t see any Russian armies massing in Belize or Nicaragua however, I do see NATO armies massing in Poland and adding Finland to NATO… almost like NATO is the aggressor.
We have real problems in the United States, without sending a hundred billion dollars to kill people I would certainly be friends with, should I meet them. Admittedly, I have only met a few Russians and all of them casually. There is not one Russian I have met that I didn’t like though. They are tough people with a penchant for swearing, even the little girls. The Russians I have met anyway. I find their fatalistic sense of humor to be gratifying. To sum it up, I have liked, very much, every Russian person I have met. There is not one I would harm. I would, on the other hand, go out of my way to help any of them. So, forcing me to give money to kill people I like, is an injustice of the highest order. That one hundred billion would be better spent rooting out corruption in our own government.
Why does NATO even exist if not to conquer Russia? The Soviet Union ceased to exist three decades ago. Making NATO the epitome of a government program that outlived its usefulness… yet unlives on as a lich. NATO was faced off with the Warsaw Pact. The Warsaw Pact no longer exists. Hell, Poland is now in NATO! History is pretty unambiguous about armies from the West marching towards Russia. Napoleon, The Crimean War, World War I, and World War II for example. That, and their prior history, is probably where the Russian people’s fatalistic sense of humor comes from. In WWII alone thirty million Russians died. I bet they are not looking forward to a repeat of that performance. Maybe that is why Russia doesn’t want NATO armies amassing on the historic path of Army Group South?
War has a way of eliminating long term thinking. Yes, the profit for the Military Industrial Complex is great, but that profit can only be considered short term, should it cause the end of the world. Few corporations look beyond the next quarter. I suspect the more far sighted defense contractors are investing in rocks… for the next war. If there is anyone around to manipulate into it that is. Every billion sent to Ukraine, to kill Russian and Ukrainian boys and girls, is a billion in the pocket of the military industrial complex. Not just the money the US sends, but including the billions from Germany, France, Poland, Britain, etc… Clearly, spending billions to kill people is preferable, to the elite, than spending a penny to save one. How progressive, woke and inhuman of them!
In a world with a shortage of children and young adults, why would the elite waste those precious lives in senseless, unending, unjust and inhuman wars? Perhaps the elite look around and see so many of us, they think we are like the passenger pigeon, too many. The Davos crowd demands their pilots not have the clot shot, they refuse to ride in electric cars and flew there in private jets… but are worried the world may run out of luxury, so they want the rest of us dead. Leaving just enough to service them as betas, gammas and epsilons. Nuclear war brinkmanship is a means to that end. If Russia doesn’t nuke us then NATO will capture it. So the world can end up under a progressive global corporatist bureaucracy. A dictatorship of the proletariat, by the experts, for (the survivors) own good.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
