Sweden and Finland, with encouragement from the US, to take up the new sport of Russian bear poking.
How could this not be fun?
In this article, we are told that the US is welcoming both Sweden and Finland into the bloody clutches of NATO. I wrote about this when the idea was floated. It must be clear to anyone looking at the actions of NATO in recent history, it is no longer justifiable to call it a mutual defence organization. It is a tool of imperial power projection. In this light, which is well known by Finland and Sweden, joining NATO in response to what happened in Ukraine, is akin to, putting their necks in a noose, with the lever of the trapdoor, beneath their feet, in the hands of a known psychopath, who is willing to throw the lever just to see them dangle under the guise of containing Russia.
My response to the article follows:
“Well, its not surprising that imperial forces would support such a move, because, they have made their own assessment of their risk exposure and potential gain towards their imperial dreams. No matter how inaccurate those assessments and projections maybe. It is always the innocents, that are caught in their schemes, I feel bad for. The containment issue of these proxy wars is not guaranteed, it may yet become the doom of us all as WWIII knocks on our door.
The provocation of Russia through the Ukraine was such an apparent success, that, to have two more new nations in similar strategic locations that could be enlist, to poke the bear, would be just great. NATO is no longer in the business of mutual protection, it is just another extension of the set of imperial proxy armies, much like ISIS. The nations earmarked as ones to be used to poke the Russian bear are sacrificial pieces, that, brings no peace to the used nations, and, potentially great harm to the innocents of those nations. Perhaps propaganda is sufficient to ease the pain of family members put into the meat grinder of war.
It is doubtful that China does not see the stage being set to bring the same heavy handed methods now visited on Russia to them in turn. This is true of any nation or interest that are not aligned with the imperial aims. These external forces seeing their own futures written with blood in these proxy wars, will they not attempt to preempt the outcome? So, if the skirmishes turn into wars which metastasis into a world war, where then, is the fate of the voiceless multitudes? Make no mistake, the ones pulling the strings are psychopathic, kleptocratic oligarchs that, through their actions, have shown themselves to be cruel and cynical enough to allow this to occur.
These are the same old kings and potentates of many shades and colours, who relished in the idea of divine right, in the past. The ones today just hide behind sacks of money, but, are just as myopic and self important and sees the rest of us as disposable tools for their idiotic games. I for one do not expect salvation from that sector. Even if their schemes appear to solves one issue, be sure their track record is dismal in the long haul. It all points to us as slaves/surfs of the neo-feudal/slave state.”
