There is a very good argument that the US had achieved, limited, world domination already. This was the uni-polar world described in the various video's posted over the last year or so in the topic (until china "emerged"). In terms of predicting the future its anyone's guess. I could predict Trump dead or not in office (jail or otherwise), I could predict a military conflict by proxy between China and the US, I could predict an escalated conflict in Ukraine, I could predict a cost of living crisis for the next five years in western europe or I could predict the sun rising in the morning. They are all just predictions there is nothing set in stone to 100% confirm that any of these things will happen. predictions are based on likely scenario's, and the more you are able to predict something, the more time you have to account for it. I can freely offer my predictions on how certain users respond as well, but its just a prediction, maybe i will get it wrong one day ( i wont hold my breath though, and i wont bet on it, sorry ! )

The irony of talking about selective amnesia when for decades we toppled and deposed banana republics all across the globe to undermine the Soviets. But yeah this time it's different, this time it's totally not about undermining the Russians and totally a moral war in which our interests are objective good and the other side is pure evil. :rolleyes:


to be clear, evil after 2014, it was not deemed relevant before that date. its like a light bulb, some people decide when someone else is evil and they can switch the designation on and off whenever they want (and stupidly believe that the other side will have no hard feelings).

your better off expanding your point and then comparing it to Ukraine, as otherwise for alot of people it will go right over their head, and the comment "off topic" will be thrown at you.

You dodged the question. I actually agree with the point your making about US foreign policy and CIA actions. But your obfuscating that idea with the Ukraine war as if it applies directly. Your claiming US interference is the root cause of the conflict.
To do so is completely naive and ignores multiple domestic reasons for what Russia is doing.

Again. The US only thinks about Russia when it has to. Russia fastidiously thinks about the US and uses the adversarial relationship as leverage and as an excuse for its latest war. You swallowed the excuse hook, line and sinker it appears.

Looks like he had a stroke


To me it looks like Russians poisoned him.
The final annexation of Belarus into Russia was not very fast going lately, so the Russians might have want somebody "better" on position of Belarus oblast.
