Have the full report in pdf.
Fucking insane that those people even think of shit like that.
Psycho circus.
One has to have a goal.
Most people want to forget the plans of the past, so they have to bring them to the light and present them as new plans. Keep the fear/hate alive.
Insanity is a perfect definition, I feel we are deep enough in the iterations to make the claim.
Psycho circus brings a smile, it is like a depiction of the tools used to employ such goals.
Precisely.
Which report?
The one put out at csce.gov.
Dove tails into the report put out by the Rand corporation.
US is on a hegemony binge, Europe be damned.
The US is willing to sacrifice the EU to shatter Russia into pieces.
No.
Nato still holds Europe together.
It however is a great big asshole. Contrary policy. Trade. Laws. And almost everything the EU comes up with as a bloc. An asshole even to its own individual nations. Where it is far more profitable to trade directly to each member. Instead of an asshole shitting on all of them. Except it becomes a larger problem for meddling competition Russia or otherwise. So Nato. So the asshole.
That is simple. It gets a lot more complicated. But there is a problem with the EU running the bloc. Not Nato protecting it.
Can't have one without the other. The EU formed because of Nato. But Nato can exist without the EU but it makes it far more problematic.
It won't get broken up without France exiting.
If it gets broken up it. They're all trading on the Euro. Huge collapse. Don't see it. Almost opposites. If it collapses they come up with an even worse EU. Which is exactly what they're doing. An even worse EU with more offshore windfarms. Windfarms generating even more offshore policy. Then they'll just do it all again anyway 5 minutes later. If the EU broke up, 10 minutes later it would be the EU again. Don't know about Brussels. They'd probably say Brussels can't join. But you know.
This meme is stupid. Putin goes Russia loses. Russia won't lose at home either. It won't recover if it backs away from the Ukraine. It is all in. Out it loses more. I find the timing off. Perfect for the next layer of dystopia. But it saw an opening. What that means is there's a much longer game being played out across the entire geopolitical board. How it all turns out is still a ton of speculation.
I'm just conveying in a nutshell what the two reports reveal.
The EU and NATO are not as cohesive as they used to be.
Cracks are beginning to appear in their veneer due to the sanctions.
The US doesn't have allies, per se, as it only has interests.
If another country aligns with the US foreign policy interests then it's cool.
If not, then they get Suddamed or Khadafi'ed.
That same policy logic is applied to the EU as well.
US global hegemony is about US interests first and foremost.
Russia just aligned Nato interests. Into a United front against a common foe. Solidifying Nato per say. But it has massively put pressure on the bloc, no gas. NATO still has gas.
There is far more Nato spending than in history, currently. It serves what masters. Not the EU. Defenses treaties which go outside of the bloc. American, British, etc etc. It has non member heads the UK is top of it currently, but this changes around. It has budgets and trade away from Europe, American, and British arms, etc.
The EU bloc however strains over its bullshit. Not completely, but it's not as united. Plenty of individual nations in it thinking WTF at certain policies, movement, trade, laws. Plenty of citizens. But unless a bigger collapse becomes worse, it's not something that Europe won't manage. Besides it would faster become the EU again anyway all of 5 minutes later if it did collapse. It still trades, moves, and etc.
USA interests move around Europe through NATO. You have this big defense budget where are they buying this and that and this from. No sooner a heap of other goods and services.
Europe ain't powerless either, despite the bloc perhaps being problematic. It is as individual nations, you're trading invidually not with who somebody else says you cannot. The EU's biggest problem is often that, a dumb law, means they're all adopting it, same with trade. Germany doesn't want it, Poland doesn't get it. Etc. Nato operates outside of this to extents and reasons. But it's far more interlinked than you can imagine.
Dream on America has no allies, just the majority of the globe.
But we are both speculating on what occurs.
Russia cannot lose at Home. If it does. It loses far more. If it withdraws it loses. It won't at Home. So this will play out for much longer. In the meantime collapse is happening. It means what today? War is often far more likely. Except that isn't quite the same historic option outside of proxy. But supply lines are changing. Prices rising. Unrest occurring. Until who knows?
I find the meme laughable. The timing speculative, but as always who folds what, at what cost, and what occurs.
Per Tragedy and Hope, The Grand Chess Board, the US has no allies, only foreign policy interests.
Allies is a smokescreen.
I recommend reading both books.
Makes no difference to the fact it does. Despite of its hegemony or power.
Easier to shout it doesn't, despite of the absolute fact that it does, and more than almost anybody else on this Planet. Whether reluctant or vassal or compliant. It makes no difference to that status of being aligned and allied.
Tedious proposal shouting the USA is not the foremost global superpower because it has no friends.
Dream on. No need to read. I have heard most musings about it, and the complaints there in.
Have seen the claimed RAND report. Makes sense on a high level, but language reeks of fake.
As for the CSCE.gov report, do you mean the Helsinki Commission briefing at:
https://www.csce.gov/international-impact/events/decolonizing-russia
Yes.
Russia will never fall! Fakchehk!
