“This war is not as in the past. Whoever occupies a territory also imposes on it his own social system. Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. It cannot be otherwise. If now there is not a communist government in Paris, this is only because Russia has no army which can reach Paris in 1945.” ~ Joseph Stalin, Soviet dictator April 1945
Russia may not be a communist nation any longer, but it certainly doesn’t allow freedom to ring across its lands, and Putin is most assuredly set on the reconquest of all the lands that he believes are Mother Russia’s, as he wages a war that the West is scrambling furiously to keep from growing into World War III. And while one would think all wars should be avoidable in this modern era, the truth remains that some men are birthed every day who come to their manhood believing war is fine, if it enriches them and grows their power, leaving the countries they target no choice but to fight or die or live their lives as slaves.
Unfortunately, there is an overabundance of vile, evil, power-seeking madmen and monsters — much like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Idi Amin, Gaddafi, Arafat, Khomeini, and many others — across the globe who have no compunction over invading a neighbor state and sitting back to watch their soldiers rape the women and pillage one city after another, very similar to the manner of Putin this past month, and Biden and the Democratic Party Machine in the federal and many state governments who were thrilled to see Antifa and BLM communists pillaging and burning American cities.
Simmering hatreds are everywhere, and in Ukraine’s case, the Russian people don’t hate Ukraine but Putin hates Ukraine’s leadership for rejecting his plans for them a decade ago, and now he is punishing them and their innocents, as he attempts to make good on those plans to rebuild Mother Russia as She was under Catherine the Great.
Biden did everything wrong in the days prior to this war and practically invited Putin to invade. (continued)
