One of America’s number one geopolitical rivals just committed a massive war crime of a mistake. The Western World is united in opposition. Unprecedented sanctions are attempting to bring the economy and Moscow government to their knees. Paralympic athletes were told to shove it, and cats are no longer able to compete in International Cat Federation shows if they’re born on the wrong side of the Urals.

There is little talk of peace in the media. The press doesn’t give many real details as to the state of the negotiations, let alone the historical context of the situation or the off-ramps to a peaceful resolution.

Hillary Clinton said the US is ready to fund an insurgent war ‘modeled’ after the Mujahideen against the Soviets in the 80s — which was just a little a nine-year affair that eventually led to 9/11, and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken recently said this war “could last some time.”

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there are disgusting elements of the American government and economy that are excited.
