Is there any such thing as righteous blood lust? It strikes me as a contradiction in terms. But, what do I know? I am just a conscientious objector grannie.

Wars are a lot like wildfires, they are hellish and devastating. Yet, like the case is often with wildfires they are a precursor to a natural rebirth. Some species of pine trees don't even propagate if their seeds are not subjected to the high temperature that can only come with fire. Much of that is true for war as well, even lost wars can bring about a national rebirth. Case in point - Germany after WWI and WWII, or Japan after WWII. Won wars have similar effect, look at Soviet Union after civil war of 1918 - 1922 and after WWII, or at the US after WWII when both countries had two of their most productive decades between 1945 and 1965.
Regarding war between Russia and Ukraine, when a third of capable men in Russia are employed as security guards at the shopping malls and warehouses, perhaps the war is not such a bad thing? In Ukraine they managed to mobilize society over the last 8 years, not with the messages and ideology that I condone, but nevertheless. This mobilization showed itself with a fierce resistance Ukrainians demonstrated when Russian occupation started. In Russia many are still half asleep in their personal consumption dream. Time to wake up if they want to survive. This escalation does good to the country, exposing a lot of wrongs on which Putin's system was built, but also a lot of good that Russia still has despite attempts to destroy that.
I'm not bloodthirsty. Simply a realist who understands that wars are a part of our genetic makeup. Even US that due to its excellent geography that would allow it not to participate in any wars, is participating in and even stirring multiple wars around the globe. If beacon of democracy, country led by idea of exceptionalism is behaving in such way, what can we expect from the rest?
Riley has confirmed the final nail (Sputnik V is NOT mandated for Russian soldiers) in the narrative coffin that Russia is complicit in the USA/UK/EU/World Economic Form "great reset". This narrative WAS true before Feb 2022. AFTER Feb 2022, the narrative is false in my opinion because Russia and the USA/EU/UK/World Economic Forum got a divorce in Feb 2022. This narrative should be dead and buried however of course the wolf dogs on this posting board will attack bark at me for daring to have a different opinion. However I am NOT a sheep that is part of this sheep herd. All the angry wolf dog barking does NOT affect a critical thinking mind. I have a silver bullet of TRUTH that these wolf dogs are terrified of. The truth is this is battle between good and evil.
Evil NEEDS to be CALLED OUT every single time. The Ukraine GOVERNMENT SBU is evil with latest example of filtration of the Ukrainian innocent civilians. A graphic video clip was released online on Sunday, Oct 9, by Maksim Zhorin, a Ukrainian officer and former senior commander of the neo-Nazi Azov regiment. This video was recorded near the town of Kupyansk, (controlled by Ukraine forces since middle of September) and showed a big hole dug in the ground with at least 3 people in CIVILIAN clothes being throw in.
Though it is clear that War is an intrinsic evil, the idea of a ´´Just War´´ should also to be considered and such defensive war (which IMO Russia is fighting) is not evil in intent, as there is a genuine need to defend Russian people against the onslaught of a dangerous and corrupt enemy.
On an individual/family level, what should one do when a psycho is hammering down the door and threatning to rape and murder your wife and kids? Any man posessing a modicum of decency and courage would fight to the death (using every improvised weapon at hand from chainsaw to kitchen knife) to prevent this crime against his innocent family.
All wars look like wheels within wheels unless you know every esoteric detail of the causes and engagements. Nobody ever does.
It is wise, therefore, to acknowledge only the basics.
Basic one: the US/Israel started the war in 2014.
Basic two: Putin held off rescue of the East until the last minute, and we know this meant testing of critical weapons.
Basic three. The US wants Germany, Russia, and UK destroyed. Thus, no more future threatening competing empires.
Basic four: Russia continues to hold all the military aces... missiles that outclass anything the West possesses; and, non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction that we do not yet know about.
Basic five: The US is dying and, like many in their death throes, no longer cares who dies with them.
Basic six: The winners will be the 60% world population not part of the West. Hopefully, some of America's outlying colonies may avoid most of the destruction. We can only hope.
This film is already censored in youtube. One needs to log into youtube in order to view this film. This film is dire need to be viewed in the American public. I do not think it will change any minds. At least, hearing Russians' point of view is important in the midst of Russophobia and imminent nuclear war. I hope it opens American minds.
I think this is one of the most important blog posts I've read in the last year. Not because of the information it provides, but because it is so incredibly important to remember all of these things, and yet there seem to be so few who take it to heart. In the non-stop drumbeat of war, nothing is more important than to pause again and again and ask yourself what you are doing and thinking and why and whether it could be otherwise. The pundits and their entourage are frighteningly often the exact mirror image of those they wish to hell. We've indeed been here before, countless times, and it's always the same frustrating story.

'10,000 blood thirsty Twitter pundits'.
Put a gun in any one of their hands and they would poo their little pants in an instant.
Will it become a case of "Just one more round of mobilization"?
"I swear bro, the 6th round is going to be the charm"
Let's hope not

Good read Riley. Will be linking tomorrow @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Mankind never seems to learn!!!!
I don't support war.
I also don't support my country of citizenship, the US of Arrogance, attacking my country of birth, Russia, in nUkraine.
So, there will be no more nUKraine.
Pity we are so goddammmm Arrogant in
America. I see it every few seconds.
Guess you haven't been here in a while.
It has changed, you can say, when every demo rat wants open war.
Thanks Tulsi

Ignoring evil is bystander apathy!
Such a great article. Thank you, Sir.

Don't enact their victory, Riley.
