OK, Klaus
I'm not that excited about WW3
"In the execution of such a plan nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations and passionate attachments for others should be excluded, and that in place of them just and amicable feelings toward all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur.
So, likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill will, and a disposition to retaliate in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld; and it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country without odium, sometimes even with popularity, gilding with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation....[/i]" ~some faggot op

The mystery of why Putin invaded is still a mystery.

Not sure many in the US are justifying Russia's invasion. I think what was more interesting in that article was Australia's objection to the Chinese base. Hell, Australia became China during Covid. You would think their government would welcome more totalitarianism.
Totalitarians don't like each other. There can only be one.

Not sure how many of you here are up to date on the political issues with the Solomon Islands, but the citizens there are opposing the prime minister who is aligning with China. Lots of recent protests, and anti-Chinese stuff, while the prime minister is trying to contract with China military to quell the people. China is using it to get a foothold in the South Pacific and wants a puppet there.
US is late to the game in trying to reestablish an embassy there. More foreign policy issues but whatever. We'll see if the US or Australia can prevent a dictator with aligning with China.
Also, FWIW, Aussies hate China. Lot of tariff issues lately.
