Best summation of the situation yet, thank you!

Concise summary here.

Whether we are talking about German Nazis, Ukraine mercs or Russian nationals, we must always follow the money. Since the fall of the Soviet union, everyone on the planet has been coveting the rather significant resources of Russia for their own gain. Gas,oil, minerals, gimme a piece, I don't wanna buy it, its easier to steal it, especially if I hide behind a government that is intent on "spreading democracy". As long as the plebes vote the right way.

Pesky plebes. Ask the folks in Latin America who provide all that cheap fruit... So 1905

In Germany, the Nazis didn’t like the Jews because they had money and were productive. WRONG

You're right. What I wrote was too simplistic. I should have said that the Jews were PERCEIVED as having money and being more productive. Perception and reality are quite different. I should not have simplified such a complex issue in this way. My bad! So thank you for the comment. The Nazis pushed this idea in their racialist propaganda. But let us keep in mind that they there were equally racialist against the Roma, among the poorest people in Europe -- and, of course, the Russians. The Banderites were pretty much against everyone who was "other" than Galician. Stepan Bandera was not so much 'antisemitic" in my view as what you migiht call "otherist".. The Jews were "other". The Nazis hated the Jews. He wanted Nazi support to create an Ukraine without Russians. The Russians were pro-Semitic. So....go figure.

A one-word assertion carries little weight. Got some references? Or is this just your wishful fantasy?

Come on guys, it was both. When is the answer to social/ political issues simple. Both fed the Nazis for money and political issues. And the Nazis didn’t need much encouraging in the first place. It fit with their own ideology.

Of course.

He is right, it wasn't the Nazis. It was Rockefeller and IBM who didn't like the Jews.

So the U.S. provided money, energy, technology, as well as ideology to the Nazis.

It was the pervasive moral degradation Jews bring with them.

"Predatory capitalism"? What is that?

I know what capitalism is: the natural right of all men to keep the wealth generated by their work.

So how do you make that "predatory"?

Unfortunatly, the Russians are not required to run thir war in accordance with American armchair generals. But, they do tell us what they are doing..

Viet Nam's rhetoric gives an examle of whay they are doing.. When an American Colonel snapped

at a Viet Namese Colonel in the Paris peace talks. .He demanded " How can you make all of these demands when we won every battlefield engagemment.?" The Viet answered "What you say about the battlefield is true, But. . .It is also irrelevant ! You don't understand. the war will not be won on the battlefield, but in the colleges and congress of the united States.

If this Idea is applied today in Europe, the Battle will not be won in the Ukraine, But in the collapsing economic structures of the EU. Brussels, London, and Washington will be where the Russian will win... Because Vladimir Putin has stated that the economic collapse of the EU will take about two years of sanctions that are self inflicted wounds. All Russia has to do is prolonge the conflict until those who make their decisions based upon their own lies stubbernly destroy themselves and their people.

Russia will not move to end the conflict as rapidly as we would like them to. That would defeat their plans.. I expect the effort will be slow walked into the next year or so. The the west will grant the Russians the requests listed in their letter to the western powers before they initiated the military action. The western powers will never recover.

The USA is in the process of evolving. But it must collapse before it can be rebuilt, which it assuredly will be.

Sure it's on a roll. In Your and Putin's overactive imagination, perhaps, but no where else.

I'm trying. I don't always get it right. So I appreciate comments and constructive criticism. ON other sites, I often learn more from the comments than I do from the posts they are responding to.
