Anyone else low key hoping Russia somehow "win" here?
I've been listening to this explanation by Putin about what's going on and he seems a lot more sincere than anyone I'm supposed to be rooting for.
Kind of, but not exactly. Russian victory at war is just one of those facts, like leaves turn brown in autumn.
I see it far less now as about Russia/Ukraine, but, how much of the corruption in our system can be exposed and punished. That is all that matters! It wouldn't matter much to me if techno-China took over the world, or, if we went back to the stone ages starting over. Of course, there is nothing over here I hope/root/cheer for even slightly, and consider myself an uninformed victim of the theft of taxes, etc., and have hardly ever found anything true or sincere dribbling from the lips of "those in the know".
Is there something like an anti-CIA mindcontrol assassin? As in that person who from birth has been programmed to lash out at and dispose of the federal government? I have no freedom, I am subliminally commanded to keep doing this. To the extent that looking at all the representatives and departments and so on, those people all look like sick, dangerous animals to me, which, instinctually I would just smash. You know what I mean? They all have porphyry since 1720. Mr. Putin on the other hand would make me stop in my tracks and listen.
If one has ever heard the ensigns on a ship about to mutiny, it sounds like this.
My empath-o-meter, so to speak, does not blink at Putin, Dr. Assad, Sayeed Nasrallah and so on. They have better things to talk about and are better at saying them. The only thing that has repelled me more than the American press, is, perhaps the British one. I am afraid Australia probably does have actually stupider news events happening, due to even spine-less-er politicians, but I don't want to let their press speak for itself lest it compete with her English speaking cousins.
The U. S. S. R. was not much good, but, actual Russian nationalism is amazing. Pretty much the same for Belarus. Intelligent and respectable. There is no way I would "consider them my enemy" or assume they are lying about everything. That label has been pasted on the wrong target!
I would not also presume them to be really big friends or do any special favors. But in terms of living on the planet together, that is all we can ask. Workable terms for "interests", which are not social or emotional friendships. Instincts writ large.
If you do not handle instinct wisely, violence is usually the first thing that comes out of it.
