The past decade has really made me reassess the nature of WW1 & 2.
What has Russia actually done to increase hostility with the West? Well, they blew up Nordstream, right? Nope. That was a CIA/Ukraine operation blamed on Russia. But they installed Trump in 2016, right? Nope. That was a CIA/FBI operation to hand the WH to Hillary Clinton. But they invaded Ukraine, right? Well, yeah. After decades of NATO expansion and provocations like Maidan, they finally did something about it.
So, in short, Russia did basically nothing to the West. And yet the West is ramping up for direct war against Russia all across Europe.
Does the public support it? No. Not at all.
Just as the debt supercycle hits many quadrillions a major war seems to have been created out of thin air.
So you might want to reconsider your historical understandings of world wars and recognize that you're currently living thru the latest bullshit chapter.
The Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow this morning was apparently the largest of the entire war so far -- clearly they have been stockpiling for a while. It also included missiles, though they were all shot down as far as I can tell. Most of the 500+ drones were intercepted (1600+ total, a third aimed at Moscow), but several impacted residential buildings and the Moscow Oil Refinery. At least two civilians were killed in Moscow oblast.
