Best read the last two weeks. Thanks a lot. When I read what a former US general said about Finnland (that could easily defeat Russia alone blablabla), I had exactly this idea: they need these lies because they are losing. Winners don’t need ridiculous exaggerations like that.

"We lie, we cheat, we steal," former secetary of state, Mike Pompeo. These perfidious psychopathic bullies know no other way, but when the schoolyard bully gets a well-deserved slap, he slinks away and looks for another victim. The US/UK/NATO are running out of countries to bully and when Russia teaches them a lesson through this SMO, then the rest of the world will also reject their "rules based order".....the game is over for the aspiring hegemon.

Empires always self-destruct. Hegemons fall on their sword. IMO.
