2) Last Part: A country like mine could live 2-3 years with the Money thay the US spent in Afghanistan. And I still don’t understand what happened there. I would have left in 2-3 years, or I would just stay there like they stayed in Japan and West Germany. It’s all Trump’s insanity.
And please beware of insanity. We live in an era of insanity. SO you should try not listening to insane new-outlets.
What you are talking about ended after WWII. That’s why colonial empires had to be disbanded. It was 1962 when the French President General de Gaulle had switched his political discourse from “Algeria is France” to “Our power is within”. Today Germans are switching colonialist names in their streets to the names of African leaders who resisted European (German) colonialism.
Of course resources are important. That’s why Chinese are all over Africa. But the Chinese are there to somehow “convince” local populations and governments to give up their natural resources.
Yet, this is also a twisted way of doing things. So you are right in principle. But still: The civilized world doesn’t send mercenaries to steal mines. No one does that anymore
3) I think he is still insane.I’ve heard that Putin gave him a taste of Moscovan nights when he visited him before becoming the president of the US. I think he is even dangerous. Look what he did with the laws on abortion.
4) Russia is an empire. Empires must grow. Or they will shrink. That’s why the leadership in Russia after Putin is so important.
5) This last thing you said is a paranoia level belief system. I think you (all of you across the world – those who believe in conspiracies) are simply using too much social media. I think you guys should read more books and focus on some of the better traditional media outlets. Because I think erroneous beliefs will become a problem in your real life at some point of your life (lives).
Yes. But he is not the only one. This is going to sound crazy all by itself. But I think it’s social media. I think people should limit their social media usage because I think it can quickly become completely misleading and lead us to completely insane ideas.
The problem is: There are many different viewpoints. But there is one reality. Reality is understood through logic and scientific rules. The universe was written in mathematical language. Not in the hypnotizing language of some social media users.
And this is what happened in the Capitol in 2020, and it happened again in Brazil 2 moths ago and it will happen in many other places too. I’m just saying that on a personal or group level, you will hit your head against the wall. At one point or the other.
How can you act as if there is no truth? I don’t understand this
