Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ Turkey's President Erdoğan has officially withdrawn Ankara's objection to the addition of Finland and Sweden to NATO membership, with the three countries signing a trilateral memorandum at a NATO summit in Madrid.
It's like a collective madness has enveloped over Europe and these other countries that are supporting the US/NATO/UK.... support for Ukraine,and their hatred and willingness to destroy Russia! .............
Reminds me of one of those stupid SCI-FY/Horror movies,where Satan casts an evil spell over everybody,and they end up running round chopping people to death with meat axes or something! .......... Maybe someone has put something in all their drinking water........... I dont know.... but something strange is happening to their collective consciousness, and they are running round the world like a depraved psychopath wrecking the joint and spraying shit everywhere!
Reading news like that makes me positively thrilled about being old. Maybe I'm old enough to actually die of old age before this whole can of worms spills all over the world. If it starts before I'm gone, I'll be gone in a nanosecond. I won't wait for the hunger, the disease, the radiation poisoning's slow death, the misery of war. I feel sorry for the young ones, who may still think that the future is bright. It ain't bright, sweethearts. It's the nuclear explosions on the horizon.
Connecting this news with other news this week, WW3 looms ever more ominously:
* NATO chief announced an increase of troops from 40k to 600k (650% increase)
* US Army announced it will no longer require high school diploma for enlistment
* US Congress moved to require women to register for the draft
Also, whatever concessions Turkey extracted from NATO in exchange for not vetoing Finland and Sweden's membership are unlikely to contribute to peace in Eurasia.
How can the citizens of NATO countries do anything to prevent their governments and businesses from killing life on earth? If those countries were democratic, the answer would be obvious - through courts, protests, media work or strikes. Some people, including even myself, are still doing it. Are we very delusional? What kind of resistance is even possible in Orwellian military and financial autocracies?
Full-out madness has come over the world, and Stoltenberg is just the figurehead. The gross insult is they want to kill us all - with this mediocrity as agent. Russia will take as dim a view of Finland/Sweden Nato membership as they did of Georgia's, and the possibility of Ukraine's. This is a poker game played by drunken sailors, misfits and the delusional, and the ante provided by the deep pockets of the taxpayer, for as long as it lasts. There are no winners here.
The foolishness and ineptitude of the Empire's managers never cease to amaze. It's not at all clear that they have figured out that Russia's military capacity far exceeds that of the West and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Maybe being blind to reality is a prerequisite for the job.
C'mon Caitlin, You know you want Australia to join NATO too! It doesn't matter that you're not anywhwere near the North Atlantic. Oh, and please bring Japan and South Korea with you and those namby pambies in New Zealand and most certainly the Republic of China (in Taiwan) and all those silly litte island nations in the South Pacific too! How else are we going to beat the (fake) Commies unless we have a World War? OCEANIA FOREVER!
This phenomenon (the US/NATO alliance against an alleged "evil empire") is sometimes referred to as "shared psychosis" or "folie à millions" (madness by the millions) among followers, a phenomenon well documented by renowned mental health experts such as Carl Jung and Erich Fromm. The power of the US corporate media to persuade Europeans to join us in this insanity is at once both surprising and very disappointing. As Noam Chomsky stated, whatever else happens in Russia/Ukraine, the US has already conquered the EU. This is a huge victory for US weapons manufacturers and US Big Oil, and a huge defeat for world peace and the possibility of life on earth ending at any moment.
The United States is suffering. Biden: "Let's stay in war forever!" Tone deaf as always.

Other than Putin who shows measured Russian response
Seems one must be the
Mad insane sort to be in power
Folks might want to read the first inscription of the Georgia Guidestones. This chaos is happening on purpose.
But we should all cheer up, the supreme court has upheld our second amendment rights. Just hope folks will have a clue about where to aim.
"How do we convince people in power to preserve that future?"
Wish I knew the answer to that question.

Baskin Robbins announces their newest flavor: Nato, sold in a self-licking ice cream cone.
Good. Fuck Russia.

With every NATO expansion the West gets smaller and smaller.
Imagining possibilities too awful to say. Hope I might be wrong. Best I say nothing more.
