Quite as it's kept, that's what Putin wanted and hoped for -- based on the assertions of the "Lyin' Liars of the West." But they lied, and he caught them -- and then he went into protectionist mode for his people (Yeah, we here in America don't have to worry about Jim Crow Joe & Co. EVAH doin' that shit for us!!.
Gorbachev's "Glasnost" and "Perestroika" were both attempts at "unity." But the Baby Imperialist couldn't/wouldn't step back til they ruled the f*ckin' world." And here we are -- Ukrainians as cannon fodder, families torn apart, Western nations suffering the blowback of inflation, higher energy costs, food deserts, and so on, and soon and so on. WHY are people putting up with this shit?! WHY aren't they up in arms (particularly in the EU) where they will soon be freezin' their stupid asses off??!!
Hm-m-m-m, ever wonder if all this is a part of the Baby Imperialist's plan to rule the f*ckin' world, EU??
Just a thought...
