Unfortunately they vote for these people to be elected and make such decisions. Its a reflection of the culture of the military adventurism brainwashed by Hollywood.
Quite possibly!
Japan never established full diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, and then Russia.
Itâs because of four silly islands in the north where hardly anybody lived. (Two of which Russia wanted to return to Japan, but Japan refused, saying it wants all four!)
Like Japan doesnât know the established custom for a loser nation to secede territory. (Germany lost entire East Prussia, Silesia, Pommern, Alsace, etc. as a result of WWII)
It was Japan who occupied the island of Sakhalin (like a thief in the night) at the very end of the Russo-Japanese war 1904-1905. Stalin occupied the four islands in question in 1945 after Japanâs defeat became obvious. So whatâs the difference?
This is whats referred to the âgrey warâ
Its hard however to revisit these historical disputes and determine who started what, and what land rightfully belongs to who knowing full well the map of the world over time changes. Genghis Khan conquered and ruled over many lands, does that mean that there is still land out there that rightfully belongs to the Mongolians? How about Tibet or Taiwan? Its an interesting question to explore as to deciding who shall rule and over what land? It certainly diminishes our species to being no different than any other predatory animal living on this planet!
The real motivator besides money laundering to keeping the Ukraine war going for as long as they can.
Get rid of the profit aspect of war and most wars would end.

It is a cycle. Check out this guys interview, and knowing what soldiers went through gives this issue another perspective.
Then also look at interviews and perspectives on another war like Vietnam. Pretty fascinating to look at the two perspectives and look at what is going on in Ukraine.

NATO is finished.
âAll focus on Chinaâ
Hmm, I also wonder what that is going to look like.
"Reconstruction efforts in Ukraine, and bankers? Also what is that going to look like when Russiaâs goal is to control Ukraine and prevent it from ever joining NATO?
Stoltenbergâs NATO position is done in October, so perhaps that will be the cue when saving face is somewhat shifted.
In a war situation, international banksters can make money twice.
In the armament that destroys the target country.
And in the reconstruction of the destroyed country.
(This applies to countries/regions that are traditionally industrial)
But when it comes to countries/regions like Afghanistan and Africa, the banksters donât give a damn about reconstruction.
I sure hope Russia alone will be doing the reconstruction of destroyed Ukraine. Russia already reconstructed Mariupol in a matter of a few months which had been completely destroyed because of the Ukrainian tactics to hide its military among the civilians. The survivors were given the new apartments for free.

We will have to see, but first Russia needs to get out of the Kinetic phase and enter the reconstruction phase of this conflict. In other words, the war has to reach a conclusion at some point. Hopefully is sooner rather than later.

Seeing this video I truly feel for these guys. It sucks! I know this feeling.
Even sadder to realize they are talking in Russian, which means they are ethnic Russians.
Zelensky doesnât seem to send Ukrainian-speaking nazis from western Ukraine to Bakhmut.

Insight from the past
This western mercenary (from whatever country, UK?) has a lot to say about weapons disappearing âmysteriously.â He saw it firsthand.
Of course! Billions of dollars being spent. Taxpayers money mind you and is about overdue that the electorate of each country start holding the ones making these decisions accountable.

Ukraine will eventualy force Vlad Rasputin to attempt to settle with Ukraine . The Russian Army has shown tactical ineptness in Ukraine and eventualy loose to the Ukrainian Army which is gaining ground in the east. Ukraine may only be feinting to the Crimean Penninsula until their eastern flank is secured.
As for supporting the corrupt Ukrainian government dont forget the corrupt governments tbe US has supported in the past. Remember the Diem government in South Vietnam and the great Shah of Iran???.
