Stand strong. That's all I can say.

With recruitment at its worst, AI God worship thrown into the mix (once Sam Altman and Apple warm their drunken buyers) ... hedonism rife, anarchist celebs and musicians; a non-god ai god situation appears imminent. "Save us from our problems!"

Blocking out the sunlight will produce an atmosphere of hopelessness, combined with perpetual poverty... it's like a recipe, staying awake and sober through it all will test everyone's mettle.

Drone tech should have some major upgrades, along with 3D printing - I can see how LLMs are powering materials science to accelerate us toward that 'last stand'.

I tell you, every week is something new.

"...every week is something new."

Indeed. I would go so far as to say the rate of new erupting has been accelerating over these recent decades, and novelty seems to be prevalent in most aspects of civil society today. While some reckon this updates our society to accord with technological advance, I do not think it has kept pace, and honestly expect gross turbulence to be very disruptive very soon. There will be some that ride the waves thereby produced, but I am sure that few will ride the right waves to the finish from their inception. I expect most folks will be very surprised when calm is restored, because things will not be how we will have expected them to be.

Thanks!

It's time for America to save the world.

USA would rather commit suicide with all that weapons, than save the world.

You either confuse America with the USG, or don't know many Americans. All the armed Americans I know are upright moral people that have a sense of personal obligation to help others, and none of them are suicidal. The USG is a corruption, like a boil on the ass of the world that needs lancing. That's not America.

All the armed Americans I know are upright moral people that have a sense of personal obligation to help others, and none of them are suicidal.

I do not doubt those Americans exist, but they allowed destruction of their state, @valued-customer. They are not capable to help themselves, and you think it’s time for them to save the World?

History tells us that Russia is the only power with the capability and mission to save the World. And they are doing it again.

"History tells us that Russia is the only power with the capability and mission to save the World."

I can only note your very obvious bias, and that you are completely entitled to it. While I might hope you can benefit from a much wider perspective, I can see why a more restricted view of history focused on aspects most relevant to you and yours might be preferable for you.

I should point out that it is always something I regret, throwing stones from my glass house, so I only gently point to the recent disarmament of Serbia as something that might give you pause regarding vilification of Americans. Was it also the fault of Cambodians that Pol Pot genocided them? The fault of the peoples of the USSR that Stalin genocided them? People have been dependent on centralization for millennia, and while that noxious societal mechanism is today being deprecated, it yet remains necessary to civil society in critical ways, and has been a major aspect of the indoctrinations people have been afflicted with. People are honorable of traditions in such matters, and obedience to hierarchies has been the way of their fathers, and their fathers' fathers.

It will change in time, and the corrupt remnants of the American government will be discarded in due time as well. I appreciate your perspective because it is divergent from my own, and because I cherish a glimpse of the world from a different perspective, I appreciate your forthright comment.

Thanks!

Pol Pot would never happen if there was no colonial ambitions and meddling of U.S. and France in the region.

The fault of the peoples of the USSR that Stalin genocided them?

That’s a common Western myth. Stalin never genocided anybody, which was evident by the great rise of USSR population during his reign DESPITE the terrible loses during WWII, and the late professor Stephen Cohen has documented it very well in his books.

Do not be surprised that I disagree with Cohen, even though I can only cite Solzhenitsyn in refutation. The purge of the Kulaks rivaled the Great Leap Forward in China for lethality to the peoples of those countries, and copious testimony supports terrible purges and pogroms, up to a quarter of the population of St. Petersburg, for example.

Neither do I cite either Mao or Stalin as only butchers, as both lifted millions of people out of poverty, Stalin moving Russia from the Stone Age to the Space Age in a generation, and Mao nearly so.

The horrific surveillance of both countries today seems to draw the West like hypnotic baubles waving before the eyes of oligarchs. Yet I am certain the benefits oligarchs seek will ultimately be their downfall, because the crushing burden of indoctrination necessary today to confine chattel to the corral of centralization so reduces their productivity to unsustainability as free people divest of it and sample decentralized production that is orders of magnitude more productive than centralization.

This will enable free people to so outcompete oligarchs and collective industrial manufacturing that evolution will decide the outcome, as it always does during catastrophe - and the present imposition of the NWO is nothing less than a cataclysm as horrific as any natural disaster, comparable IMHO to nuclear war. It may indeed incorporate that latter horror, as we are yet to see.

However, you neglect to answer my question. Is it the fault of Serbs that your leader is a NATO minion? I will answer for you, because you do not want to say it: it is not. Corporations collude together to increase their wealth and power, and governments are just corporations today. Governance isn't something the peoples of nations do anymore, but has been coopted by oligarchs through the vector of corporatization. As corporations decline as a result of being non-competitive with decentralized production by individual households and small communities, that will change, but not by democratic empires replacing fascist totalitarian empires.

Governance, just like industry, will be decentralized, ever more going forward as humanity seized to themselves the means of production of all the blessings of civilization, which will definitely include their security from gangs of armed thugs. Those that do will survive, and even thrive, while those that do not will perish and their strength will be lost to the oligarchs dependent on them.

We will be free, in due time.

However, you neglect to answer my question. Is it the fault of Serbs that your leader is a NATO minion? I will answer for you, because you do not want to say it: it is not.

The answer to your question is: Yes it is! People who falls for propaganda, and agrees with it, despite the obvious truth – bear responsibility, of course. And it always results in terrible consequences. We have a healthy part of the people in Republika Srpska. They do not do it, and clearly are working in protection of their interests.

And BTW, the things you again attribute to Stalin – does not make genocide even in the broadest possible definition.

Germany hemorrhages industry after power prices skyrocket, driven by the Greens to shut down their nuclear power plants after the USA bombed their gas pipeline from Russia.

I dunno, but every day that passes I am more convinced that this war in Ukraine, promoted and fueled by the United States, England and NATO, is not exactly only against Russia or eventually against China. But I believe that from the beginning it has been also well planned against Germany to furtively weaken it way beyond their means and as much as possible.

Yes, I agree. Not only Germany, but the whole world. The NWO is conquering the whole world, not Europe, or Eurasia.
