Make no mistake about it, Russia is winning this war. At a brutal cost, mind you, but still winning it. Western imperialist hubris is currently beginning it’s “finding out” phase after a few centuries of the “fucking around” phase.
Perhaps the greatest beneficiaries of this war have been weapons manufacturers across the world, especially in the West.
Now where have we heard that before?
Ironically enough (and this is the actual kicker), Western dominance even in that realm is fast coming to an end. The rest of the world has caught up militarily – indeed, the technological gap is almost non-existent – with swathes of their citizenry having the stomach for a fight that the overwhelming majority of Western citizens will not be able to handle. Forget China and Russia. I’m talking countries like Turkey, Iran, North Korea, even friggin Venezuela. They’re all catching up militarily and they have far fewer fucks left to give than we do in the indolent West.
Peace and genuine universalism is not so much a sentimental ideal as much as it is a necessity for survival – the survival of all and not just the beautiful people of the world.
We must ask ourselves:
Whither whither Western hubris, when no one gives a shit about us any longer?
