#23  been a long time since I read anything that took Hegel's Philosophy of History seriously. IMO, his theory is over 95% nonsense.

But if you accept Hegel's theory you should remember that he thought that America (maybe North, maybe South) would be the world leader after the German leadership era. He also thought the final stages of world history would combine political and individual freedom.

Posted by: ruprecht   2022-03-02 14:50  

#21  Both sides of this war are centrally controlled from a place that resides above the sovereignty of nations but with the collaboration and participation of the traitors in the CIA FBI and the thousands of ivil servants at the very top of the global power structure of our government As such:

This is all a part of the great-reset/global-enslavement plan. Think of the Hegelian Dialectic - the controllers creating a deliberate problem, to get a preplanned reaction, in order to implement a preplanned solution - as a slicing pendulum blade. Now think of the back and forth between the beats of the fabricated pandemic and the beats of the newly fabricated war as that blade cutting our freedom to shreds.

With each new crisis comes a new restriction and with each new restriciton our freedom shrinks a little and government grows a little.

This is the problem--reaction--solution Hagelian Dialectic working as designed, and all of the problems and solutions are a pantomime play , none of this is organic. And as a result, by the end we will all be slaves in a panopticon prison planet. ...Unless we stop them. Mass civil servants arrests and executions has to be the only solution at this point.

#18  Several of those Turkish Drones would come in handy. IEDs on their approach routes? NLAW and Javelin small unit ambushes, with Stinger to cover vs helis and aircraft?

All kinds of irregular warfare stuff can be done with what they have in place.

Route clearance is going to be very important for Russian forces.

Sad thing is, Ukraine has no way of winning this militarily. They are getting their cities rubbled and their infrastructure blown up. All they can do is force the invaders to pay more in blood and equipment. It comes down to how bloody minded Putin is.

Putin's dug in like a tick, paranoid as hell from all indications, and likely going mad in his isolation with all those "long table" photos.

I do wonder if he is getting the full truth? I know I would NOT want to be the one to bring him the casualties and equipment loss reports.

Too bad we cannot get a Tom Clancy Red Storm Rising ending for Putin.

Well, the Holy Dollar is one of the things thta made them think they could replace the American oilfield with Russian oil and helped fund the current invasion. It's one of the reasons we haen't been able to talk about things to the eco-commu-nazis here. So fuck it.
