Interesting reading Julian.

BUT we are living in a 'shattered' world because of the USA.

I think a lot of us are hoping for the destruction of US/Zionists.

BUT just recently I have been 'out and about' in my small Town (it's hard for me because I am partially deaf) but the consensus seems to be that the Russians are bad for Europe.

Finally found my 'voice' again and ask: What have Russians done to you? NO one can answer this question except for the usual rubbish......communism.

When I mention how many Russians died (26 million) fighting for Europe they look at me and start another conversation!

I also ask: What have the USA done for you?

I cannot do this any more because it is doing my head in.

I recognise your bewilderment in contacts with the people who appear to live in a different world that i cannot enter, it is like we are communicating through some kind of barrier that separates our two different worlds.

So being on age for that, i have become a hermit. I live on myself in a smal village that got city ​​rights from a German Emperor long ago, for which they paid him a small bag of Gold.

The region around us is agriculture and livestock farming as far as the eye can see.

And surrounding that is mostly water, sea and a huge lake, except in the South, but you need boots or clogs to keep your feet dry, walking South.

Many people still greet each other when they walk in the streets.

The town has a weekly Market for the surrounding fields and farms.

Since language is only interesting for communicating, my head is mostly empty of words and i can think in what they call "pictures", but it is far more than pictures. It is what most people don't experience because their heads are full of words.

But i feel empathy with all those people on earth that suffer, so i try to do what i can to change a little bit in that, partly for Autistics, because i am one and so i understand them.

But the other part is called Geopolitics and that is why i am here at Julians place.

Most non-autistic people have a genetic and hereditary feature, that makes them good in times of disasters to quickly forget their disputes and follow those that promise to solve the problems. It is called Group Thinking and it is triggered by fear.

And that makes the feature a tool for those that have NO empathy to create fear (with words) and then take over the crowd.

That is the barrier between us and those others.

I think.

just saying.

The granddaddy of partitions was British India in 1947 into India and Pakistan. 10 million refugees fled one direction or the other and it is estimated that around 1 million people were killed. I wrote my Ph.d. Dissertation about this event and have been tracking partitions since the late 1970s. It quickly becomes apparent that borders are inherently unstable. From the start of the SMO, I felt that Russia would consolidate control over the Russian speaking areas and possible take Odesa, and Kharkov, but that the Dnieper would become the boundary. We shall see.

The idea of "partitions" is interesting in itself -- artificial borders. I would love to read your thesis.

They did not suggest a “partition” per se. They suggested a buffer zone, a DMZ —which results in de facto partition. “Partition” just means separating into two parts., not creating two sovereignties.
