Oh, my, I have to stop humming the Russian National Anthem a few minutes to write this! As was made perfectly clear in Gromyko's memoir, every advance in Soviet military development was every time, in response to another aggressive step by "the West." And all along, Gromyko (schooled in N.Y.) had the unappreciated job of calming Stalin over and over again to avoid drastic reactions. THAT was the source of 50-years of peace. Yet "the West" keeps projecting Russia as the "Threat"? And now, directing the military to attempt to "contain" China? Back to my humming, all stand please.
No matter what it claims we know the empire by the mercenaries it keeps. Watch where those tools of death slither off to when their assigned areas of control crumble.
The West - as all other places, must start taking $$$ out of politics...and fight corruption at all levels. And stop protecting the guilty ones at the expense of those 'blowing the whistle'.
Just read this morning the British government is broke and Starmer is on the way out. Not so funny how Europe has a whole lot of former imperialist countries, now struggling colonies of another failing empire. History does not treat empires kindly with all their criminal behaviors and conceited triumphalism.
