The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal addresses the Ron Paul Institute's 2023 Washington DC conference on the disturbing plans in Kiev and Washington to convert Ukraine into a "Big Israel," and what this means for the region and the future of US politics.
Defeating Russia in the Ukraine is the key to the future. With Russia gone, we can focus on bringing China to a more rational stance, and avoid a war with them too.
FWIW...Russia ain't going anywhere. At some point, we need to find a way to peacefully coexist. The less human blood sacrificed in that righteous quest, the better...MUD
Otherwise the war continues. Russia is in a demographic, and therefore economic, death spiral. They will, in fact, cease to exist as a state if they engage in a forever war.
They can't win, and they can't keep going forever. They can be stubborn cunts and keep it going until they screw themselves into the ground, and nobody will regret their passing. OR they could pull out, make peace, change governments and start to repair themselves.
My bet is that they will remain stubborn, stupid cunts, and screw themselves into the ground proclaiming what a great nation they are, until they utterly collapse and cease to exist as an organized power. Ok. They're just not that important.
The ONLY THING they have is nuclear weapons. And their system is so corrupt and falling backwards, there's no knowing how many of those even work.
The rest of the world is not going to stand still in awe at Russia's nuclear arsenal. Nobody is going to invade them, but that's it. Nobody is going to let them invade their neighbors because they have nukes. Yeah? So do we. And we have more accurate, newer ones, and a Western world of about 2.5 billion people. If we DID have a nuclear exchange, we would lose a lot of people, that is true. Russia only has 140 million people. The race would be exterminated forever. The world would go and repair itself, WITHOUT Russia or Russians.
There will not always be a Russia. The Russians have to start acting rationally if they want to survive. Aging nuclear weapons are the only line they have against being overrun by the Chinese, who claim Siberia. Russia doesn't have anywhere near the army to keep out the Chinese, only nukes could do it.
OR Russia could knock off the oppression, join the West, and have the whole might of the West protecting them against China.
But, like I said, the Russians are cunts, stupid cunts, so they're going to choose to fight the whole West in Ukraine, for as long as they can, and then collapse and cease to matter as a nation. Ok.
"Russia is in a demographic, and therefore economic, death spiral. They will, in fact, cease to exist as a state if they engage in a forever war."
While I agree nobody is making a bee-line to emigrate TO Russia, and with teir low, low birthrate, they--and the Chinese, btw--are facing a demographic downturn that will possibly be catastrophic. However, the U.S. is presently $33 TRILLION in debt with no will to curtail spending on domestic niceties, so engaging in a "forever war" via proxy will result in a financial collapse like we havben't seen in almost 100 years...MUD
We are going to have to re-arm our military if we keep giving away all our missiles and ammo, another depletion of American strength Biden has accomplished over the last 33 months. And the sooner we can bring the Ukraine/Russia War to a conclusion, the better for WeThePeople of the U.S. and those fighting and dying in Eastern Ukraine...MUD
But the thing is, we're not. We are mostly giving Ukraine out surplus. These Abrams tanks - they are an old model. F-16 jets? We fly F-35's. The cluster shells? These are things in stockpile that we don't use. We have pulled a whole bunch of equipment out of mothballs, that we would otherwise have to pay to dismantle, and sent it to Ukraine for a fight against an enemy that we would like to see destroyed, but can't fight ourselves. It's smart.
The only enemy that WE are likely to face is China, and that will be a naval war, not a ground fight. We're not giving away anything pertaining to our Navy.
Truth is, Russia has had to go "all in" and hasn't won. They don't dare expand their front by, say attacking NATO. And the US is no weaker than we were before in naval terms. We are quite capable of defending Taiwan if it comes to it.
Will Russia break up and disappear? Well, if they do something damfool like launch nukes, yeah. Other than that, they could have regional turmoil that ends up splintering the country into pieces. Who knows?
I am at page 80 of 180, still moving through methodically and taking notes for you. It will be several days before I am done. Then I will send it to you.
