New Hitler and Napoleon Consider Three Quarter Trillion Euro War Supply for Ukraine

Germany has an election tomorrow and may elect a war monger lusting for conflict with Russia. He is backed up by a French President with a Napoleonic point of view on Eastward expansion. Together they imagine a new rearmed European military able to develop hegemony over Russia in Ukraine. Establishing a permanent state of hostility with Russia gazing like hillbillies at one another pointing long guns over a DMZ is the future they imagine. Apparently rare earth minerals in Ukraine are the bone of contention.

Valuable minerals worth trillions are a sticking point in finding peace. Europe, Russia, the Ukraine and the USA want them. Willingness of the EU to risk world war three over the conflict may force America’s hand. In order not to be included as a nuclear target when the war escalated to nuclear the USA may need to quit N.A.T.O. and form a new alliance with Russia.

The EU would not diss President Trump and increase hostility with Russia if the United States was not obligated by treaty to defend N.A.T.zo. members if they are attacked  Since European leaders are leveraging that treaty to hate on peace and Russia as well as to potentially draw the USA into actualizing M.A.D. policy the United States should quit being a treaty member of the vast left,-wing open air lunatic asylum that is the EU.

The United States had to fight Germany twice in the past 110 years. It is possible that one day there may be a third war with that nation.

Old Europe Uses Democrats Like a Toy

That European leaders have chosen to break with the USA on Ukraine policy shows that they as NATO members were doing nothing more than EU Eastward expansion. For them the US government was a pliable tool paying for their policy. They could have peace yet they want to continue war.

Russia is no conventional weapons threat to European NATO when the United States back them up. There is no reason or Europe to break with the USA and potentially splinter NATO except for pure greed for land and resources in Ukraine that should rightly be shared with Russia.

After the end of the Cold War the European Union gelled from the European Community. Unlike the EC the EU has become swollen enough with pride and power that they still regard Russia as weak enough to plunder its traditional Ukraine real estate. The properties are so listed for that France and other European nations would prefer policy disagreement with America and finance the Ukraine war on its own. If Europe attacks Russia and some day Russia nukes a few cities in Europe in order to defend itself it is possible the United States would not get involved. Instead of collective peace and security Europe uses lame excuses about Russian risk to invade far western Europe as an excuse to finance their war of expansion throughout the borderlands of Russia.

The rational course for Europe would be to settle the Ukraine war in Ukraine peacefully and directly and conserve solid relations with the United States. Otherwise Europe may need to completely rearm itself for a suicidal nuclear war with Russia that can’t be fought. Even if a European,- Russian arms race drafts in the rest of the world to build bigger, faster and better nuclear, chemical and biological weapons than have ever gone before that is a very stupid policy direction.

Some Leftist Intellectuals Still Support Ukraine War

A few Western leftist intellectuals still support war with Russia in Ukraine. They may believe that helps expand homosexual, atheist and aborter hegemony Eastward while reducing overpopulation with war casualties.

Historically the west were carpet baggers taking Russian land when they were weak at the end of Cold War 1.0 That was hubris perpetrated by opportunistic legalists ill informed about real politik and the will of people to recover from victimization. Several historians wrote that a time of reckoning would come. Democrats only needed to adjust the land theft to a more fair and balanced position. Instead they swoll to expand N.A.T.O. Eastward expanding the new EU ego with it.

A Comment on Causes of War During the Industrial Revolution

During the industrial revolution kings still ruled nations. Aristocrats had concentrated wealth. People went to war when the royals ordered them to. Even France had the Bourbon restoration, though Napoleon as Emperor had taken over from nascent democracy.  Germany didn't have its revolution until WW I was about lost. Except for American intervention, Crown Prince Ruprecht's final offensive would have clinched victory for the Kaisar. The Franco Prussian war of 1874 was the real stimulus for modernization of continental military technique.

The US civil war was largely one of an industrial zing north versus a lagging behind agrarian slave labor driven oligarchy.

Ortega y Gasset published The Revolt of the Masses in 1930. He anticipated two wars. He basically predicted the second world war and Spanish civil war because of social changes stimulated by mass production.

 Upgrades in technology made competition for mass military equipment production keen. Military industrial complexes haven't ever really got out of the business of war. American military arsenals (and others) need to be spent periodically and replaced with new equipment via a war somewhere or production lines and sales are idled.

Zelensky Seeks to Make a European Army Threat to the United States

 Ukraine President Zelensky is agitating to make Europe an enemy of the United States. Entirely thankless for the hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. military and financial support the last several years he said at the Munich conference that he wants Europe to create its own army to defend itself because Europe may have policies ahead that conflict with those of the United States. Sounding somewhat like Hitler on the far right he seeks a militarization of Europe to counter what he understandably regards as a Russian threat.

Russia though, for realists, is simply recovering land it lost at the end of the Cold War 1.0 when the west divvied up the former Soviet Union. It seemed a time for new carpet bagging and Russia lost all of the Ukraine in the process. Realpolitik would always have been willing to concede half of the Ukraine to Russia and get on with regular political and economic partnership,

Zelensk’s approach to making the United States an enemy of Europe as soon as it quit sending hum hundreds of billions of dollars is a logical move toward reducing America’s standing in the world. Zelensky would like to divide and isolate the United States while creating a powerful Europe that would at any rate eventually normalize relations with the great Russia-China superpower partnership because they are located in Eurasia.

Zelensky’s desire to form a large European Army conflicts prima facie wit the present N.A.T.O. military. Presumably Zelensky would sever N.A.T.O. from its relationship with the United States and convert it into a European fascist refoundation suitable for war against Russia, China and the United States with himself as Fuhrer. Poland and Ukraine perhaps imagine themselves as a European superpower able to rule the former N.A.T.O. new fascist army.

Former President Biden’s lunatic policies of support for Ukraine cost the United States economically and damaged America’s economic position in the world. The BRIC nations are powerful competition for American production in all phases of industrial and technical production for what may be a divided world with the United States holding on to the short end of the stick.

The best tactic for the United States is to renormalize relations with Russia as quickly as possible and settle the Ukraine conflict with boundaries roughly along the Dnipro River. The U.S.A. can buy rare earth minerals from Russia if it needs to. America needs to be as god or better of a partner with Russia as is China if it wants to end up not being the odd man out facing a Euro Army Russia today. Russia is a threat of convenience for globalist lunatic war mongering politicians seeking power. Europeans should know that they can get far more through peace than they ever will through pursuit of conflict with the Russia-China proto super-state alliance.

Zelensky Arrests Former Ukraine President Poroshenko

Vlad Zelensky issued a warrant for the arrest of the former president of Uktaine in order to eliminate competition in a future presidential elect. Taking a page from the US Democrat party’s playbook that sought to eliminate Donald Trump from running again for office, Mr. Zelensky had the warrant issued for Petro Poroshenko.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_Poroshenko

Mr. Zelensky’s term of office expired in 2024 and since then he has served as a dictator through marshall law. In the meanwhile President Trump is continuing to seek peace arrangements with Russia while much of Europe cringes in paranoia.

Russia has never expressed much interest in attacking Europe. On the contrary it sought for centuries to be part of Europe and was generally rejected by the west. Maybe that is because of some kind of latent anti- Slavic racism, or simply because all those small European countries made a lifestyle of invading one another so they naturally assumed a big country like Russia would want to invade them too.

Europe and the United States are sufficiently strong to defend themselves against anyone on Earth militarily but that isn't a license to steal land or Eastward expand. The European paranoia is undignified and harms business and security

President-Dictator Zelenski and Democrats Lose $100 Billion U.S. Dollars?

Ukraine President-Dictator Zelensky said that of the $183 billion dollars the Biden administration sent him for weapons only $77 billion is accounted for. Apparently know one knows presently what the Biden administration did with the money. That’s more than a third of a billion dollars for each of the elected Democrats in the House and Senate so it’s easy to understand why they kept approving funding the idiotic war that could have easily been settled by recognizing Russian land claims on the Crime, Donbass and not expanding N.A.T.O. right up to the Russian border after peace was made at the end of the Cold War version 1

100 Billion Dollar Fog of War

That’s lot of money. With the 10% Trump tariff on China in effect a 10% downward cost of living adjustment for poor people living on social security and Wal-mart the vaporized 100 billion that could instead have been a stimulus payment for poor elderly Americans has gone with so much other cash not reported on taxes to offshore Martian financial ecosystem of the rich beyond worldly accountability. It could have helped reduce poverty. It is understandable that former President Biden gave relatives and possible accomplices a priori pardons- they might need it if it turns out that the money went to them.

Fast Upgrades in A.I. Tech

A.I. is improving and applied quickly. AI is moving toward super-intelligence. Its use in flying small, silent drones with claymore mines to hunt opfor will occur maybe next month when AI chips and instructions are produced. Fighters in Ukraine might like field testing to occur on a computer instead of in the real world.  With writing I believe it’s how you use it. AI is a very adaptable tool that can be employed like an artist’s apprentice’s work. Maybe it will change Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’ in a new edition to make life on Earth more lethal before WW. 3 brings super AI varieties to be the sole survivors (didn’t I see a movie with that theme?).

I will say that using AI for writing doesn’t work for me for reasons other than AI not being fit. In fact keeping my writing more human perhaps may differentiate it later from ubiquitous AI works. Maybe some humans will prefer human works over AI.

AI can generate excellent scientific writing. Super AI is supposed to be able to actually invent things. As it is programmer biases show up a lot. Writing needs to have a political correctness about it that may not allow realistic dialogue.

I wonder how school students will avoid turning in perfect English papers someday without really understanding basic grammar and construction because AI does everything for them. Will writing even be something anyone does, or be like hand written letters that just the old remember?

Stop Spending on Ukraine

Russians lost about 6 million dead in WW 2; the most of the Soviet Union’s ethnic groups. As one with a balanced history background that included college courses in Russian history and the usual Western Civilization I understand and support the facts about US and global interests, unlike the Democrat Party leadership.

As an historical opinion I support Russia’s right to the Crimea and know that sharing Ukraine with Russia at 50% is the only rational policy. Pursuing false narratives promulgated since the Clinton carpet bagging land stolen berg days has harmed US global interests, credibility (people think it an opportunistic predator with a supportive propaganda media), effected a million casualties, made enemies of two WW2 allies and normalized nuclear brinkmanship. It’s also expensive with about a quarter trillion dumped to Ukraine.

The Soviet Union had an 800 mile front from the Black Sea and extended through Ukraine. Many Ukrainians were on the Nazi side killing Russians defending their homeland.

Russia was moving toward free enterprise and helped in the war against terrorism while Europe expanded NATO. Because of western greed we made an enemy of Russia and divided the world Economy between the BRIC nations and the west.

The world does not need to be politically divided in a second Cold War. A peaceful world with free trade, free enterprise and a transition to sustainable ecological economic policy cannot occur with a senseless war ongoing leading toward a stone age economy.

Those who forget the past are doomed to rest it was proven again true by the Democrats bungling of the end of the Cold war. Communism ended in the Soviet Union starting with a quarter million Soviet troops withdrawing from East Germany in Dec 1988. When communism ended peacefully it was difficult to avoid chaos. There was no government or people elected to the new governments. Yeltsin wrote a constitution for Russia.

There was no method to redistribute land that was public owned in the Soviet era into private ownership that was tested. Even as late as the mid 90s there were no income taxes on oligarchs and corporations.  Some way had to arise to keep Russia together and remove power from the Mafia and oligharchs. Putin had to find a way to set the power criteria of regional governments and rebuild the military based on the US volunteer force. It was a complex difficult period with free enterprise growing in Russia. American businesses were invested there. Then NATO expanded Eastward eyeballing Russia as it had since Napoleon and Poland had since 1500.

The Russian Presidency was given superpowers by the constitution. He needed it to keep the home made experiment in democracy together  I took a Coursera course online about Russian government from Petersburg University and researched online about Russian history since the end of the Cold War. It was a democracy. 

The maladroit Democrat Party choices to be runt-like political midgets living within the Cold War era paradigm with an enemy to the East was political recidivism and follow. Leadership was required rather than fear, paranoia and cowardice that required an expanded NATO, increases military expense and that couldn't understand or lead to what was needed to continue the Reagan-Gorbachev normalization of relations east and west.

   Russia has not sought conflict with the west besides restoration of it's sovereign lands in Ukraine. When Ukraine is shared those that would live in the non Russian areas should be free to move to West Ukraine and vice versa.

 Understanding politics with competence involves understanding what motivates leaders on select issues, and how and why they form policies. Civilizations end because of bad leadership sometimes, such as that which occurred in imperial Rome following the Antonines. 

 Democrat leadership after Reagan, and even that of George W Bush has made a series of bad decisions. My concern is for justice internationally of course, yet primarily is for America alienating half of the world from trade and trust, increasing public debt and becoming incapable of supporting a peaceful and productive global political economy.

Europe Should Pay to Rebuild Ukraine if They Continue War After US Stops Supporting It

 Democrats have a different narrative about the causes of the Ukraine war than many conservatives. Democrats don't recognize that Ukraine was part of Russia until the communist revolution and that a recrudescent Russia would fight to get it back. president Clinton and the last communist President of the Soviet Union took all of Ukraine including Crimea, then N.A.T.O. expanded eastward setting the stage for war that Democrats did nothing to renegotiate and prevent the war. Instead they added more sanctions and hate to Russia to their maximum ability.

Should the United States pay anything to rebuild Ukraine when it's a Democrat mistake? Shouldn't they let Europeans pay to rebuild that devastated region instead if Europe continues the war after the United States new Republican administration stops throwing gas on the fire?

Sanction Europe on LNG Until It Ends Hostilities With Russia

Joe Biden has done everything he can to stop President Trump from bringing an end to the Ukraine-Russia war. He has arranged for war to continue through the next Presidential election in 2028 if possible. N.A.T.O. members will take up the slack if Trump stops sending weapons to Ukraine.

One shouldn't underestimate Europe's will to make self-destructive political choices; they are idiots rather than peace makers or pragmatists  As at the end of WW 2 the USA will need to take the retards under it's armpit and lead it to prosperity and health while the mutt resists the bath.

Old Europe and N.A.T.O. is composed of numerous small, formerly imperial nations that sought global colonies. After Bill Clinton it began to expand in number growing to become somewhat of a monster in size. It is as if dozens of Chihuahuas could unite to become a big dog with the fierceness of a chihuahua. The dog yet has multiple personalities; some in paranoia, some with imperial ambition, and has become a potential threat to the United States directly and indirectly.  perpetrating further conflict with Russia may incite World War Three. Joe Biden has trained N.A.T.O. to expect the U.S.A. to be Europe's bimbo/lesbo enforcer doing its bidding. Americans in the media would go along with further war against Russia until the world is incinerated so they could appear to be patriotic in sycophancy with imperial ambitions.

   President Trump will need to negotiate with Europe simultaneously with Russia and Ukraine to stop the war. N.A.T.O. will seek to create a Gulf of Tonkin Resolution circumstance to force a full N.A.T.O. attack including the U.S.A. on Russia before a peace settlement is made. Peace should be a 50-50 value division of Ukraine with Russia, an end to tariffs and sanctions on both countries and reconstruction of Ukraine paid for by England, France and Germany.

  There should be a tax free DMZ along the shared border that is five miles wide to encourage trade and catalyze reconstruction. Sanctions should be placed on N.A.T.O.embers in Europe so they don’t receive U.S. fuel supplies or natural gas until they end hostilities with Russia. The world needs peace now and a recovering economy morphing into environmental economy for a more verdant planet.

The West and Russia Need to Share Ukraine

Germans and Poles have fought with Russia over Ukraine for hundreds of years. For most of history Ukraine was Russian. Communist revolutionaries are the middle term that Democrats believe makes Ukraine not Russian. They are wrong about that. Sharing Ukraine with the west is a good deal for the west. Crimea though is Russia's Florida. Any intelligent human and maybe some chimps would know Russia would never give it up.

Turkey Exerts Control of Syria While Biden Snoozes

Turkish fuhrer Erdogan is expanding Turkish poeer over Syrian regions while threatening Israel that has moved into Southern Lebanon. N.A.T.O. has this opened a two-front war of expansion on Eurasia, and President Biden just keeps sending weapons and cash to Ukraine.

The US should support an Israeli, Kurd, Druze alliance in the former Syria and send the 101st airborne to secure the Free State of Izkurdruze’s borders against Turkish invaders asap. Joe Biden should wake up and stop the Kurdish war monger

The Biden-Zelensky War and Meaninglessness of Death

 Rather than death that people fear, it could be all the pain and suffering on the way. Dying meaninglessly like a conscript in Biden’s Ukraine war could be fearful too. Individuals probably don’t like the idea of Zelenski pushing them into the line of combat contact when peace could have been achieved long ago. If he believes it’s a good thing to die or at least not a problem, some conscripts may think he should lead by example.

About the war;

Lots of history in the story. Too much for here. Briefly though, I was on active duty when the Soviets withdrew there army from East Germany at the end of the Reagan administration and had visited Berlin a few months before. Growing up the son of a World War Two vet watching body counts on CBS on a daily basis from the Vietnam Conflict I thought of the tremendous waste and futility of war. It is not a way for human progress at all. I was quite happy when the Cold War concluded mostly without violence. The Soviet forces seemed to be gathering rust and uniforms threadbare. People had labored for decades to find peace with the Soviets and to end communism. After that miracle developed the Clinton administration got the last Soviet President Boris Yeltsin to take Ukraine away from Russia that it had been part of before communism. Ukraine had never been an independent nation before Bill Clinton. he gross incompetence of developing a future of U.S. carpet bagging by democrats worked counter-productively to all of the business investment by the west in Russia. Democrat Party sanctions have killed all that. Fundamentally Democrat leadership was retarded on statesmanship since Bill Clinton.

Historians knew that would set the stage for a future war because Russia would never accept losing its land. Meanwhile the west expanded N.A.T.O. eastward as if they were taking advantage of weak chumps and as if the Cold War had never ended, and instead had only had an interregnum creating a political vacuum that needed to be filled by making all of the former Soviet nations a part of the west while seeking to marginalize Russia. The increasing threatening posture of the west and the US Democrat Party made a hot war inevitable following the Obama and Biden elections.

No sane individual well read in history could possibly have believed that Russia would ever relinquish the Crimea. The poverty of intellectual and political competence by Democrat Party leadership has brought the world to the prospect of World War Three. The United States has suffered economically and politically and that will only increase if the war isn’t ended directly. In fact the U.S.A. is doing everything it can to promote China to the world’s number one economic power. Even a simple war with Europe destroying ports and energy infrastructure by Russian hypersonic ballistic missiles will put Europe’s economy into the dark ages for a while. China and other BRIC nations besides Russia will benefit. China can always buy what’s left of Russia and together they can form a super-state.

Etymology of Concept

 The etymology of concept is from conceive. It is to put an idea into a mind. Sentient species might create similar ideas without the idea existing someplace other than as an idea.  Math is an idea

The Lakers need better, more reliable 3 point shooting yet that’s just an idea. Others may have that idea too without it existing someplace independently as in Plato’s realm of forms.

Placing the Crucible in a Science Fiction Story

 Should one start a science fiction story with a battle? I read an action novel that started with a brilliant, intensely detailed battle. The hostage rescue team was blindsided in an alley with a hidden .50 caliber machine gun placed by a criminal seeking revenge it turned out, dropping clues for the FBI to recover leading them to the kill zone. The slaughter was described minutely with the agents crawling in hot gravel looking for non-existent cover.

The trouble with that kind of beginning is that the rest of the book couldn’t reach the intensity of the start. The remainder of the story was afterwords.

Detective stories often start with a crime followed with a story to identify the perp. Where to place the crucible in science fiction  I would guess depends on the preferred structure of the plot.

Rectilinear Structures are Heavily Favored

 Building non rectilinear structures escalates the cost orders of magnitude. Until recently the math would have been a lot more difficult. Curves are hard for carpenters to calculate. Square footage of various comic sections, how and where to cut, and what to cut with for variegated surface, calculations for interior insulation that’s a reciprocal of diurnal solar exposure, etc are tougher. Building artificial mountain ranges for people to inhabit with habitat for wildlife outside might be easier.

For individuals building complex curvy structures might be more the kind of thing rich people could do. Gunnite spray concrete of course allows complex home structures to go up readily for specialized contractors. Incidentally people with bad knees don’t like stairs.

U.S.A. Doesn't Need to Support N.A.T.O. Members that Attack Russia

The N.A.T.O. treaty the US is signed into should not obligate the. U.S.A. to join into wars and military conflicts started by N.A.T.O. members like England and France that purportedly plan to send troops to Ukraine to kill Russians and possibly pre-emptive strikes inside Russia itself. If Russia counter-attacks France and Britain the US could choose to remain neutral.

Ukraine presently

N.A.T.O. cannot be used to let runt members start conflicts knowing the U.S.A. need intervene on their behalf. Consider the stupidity of the treat in an example

Turkey attacks Israel in support of HAMAS. Israel counter strikes Turkey. Turkey demands N.A.T.O. including the U.S.A. attack Israel.

Russia has a right to defend itself against attack. N.A.T.O. is a defensive agreement, not one of partnership to aggression. If England and France choose to more directly involved themselves in the Ukraine war that’s all on them as independent nations.

Pragmatism and the Ukraine

Pragmatism is selecting something that works and/or is necessary. People can make bad choices though.

Some don’t know what pragmatism is. An example- Act and rule based utilitarianism may be a good theory yet in practice it has a lot of difficulties. The greatest good for the greatest number might require force to implement.

Pragmatism might triage social problems and fix as many as possible with available resources. An ideal approach might ban fossil fuel engines tomorrow, a pragmatic approach might stress support for EVs to eliminate exhaust gases because politically.one would encounter too much protest to eliminating fossil fuel.

It is a complete fiction that pragmatism disregards reality or truth. Lol. The Ukraine conflict may cause a nuclear war. Britain, France and Joe Biden would spend years and trillions of dollars to fund the war and rebuild. Escalating to nuclear war isn’t pragmatic.

A pragmatist would stop the war, share Ukraine with Russia and let the planet get back to working together and move towards environmental economics and justice for all.

The most famous example of pragmatism to solve a problem was that of Alexander the great cutting through the Gordian knot with a sword.

Atheists May Hate Godel's Incompleteness Theorems

I believe the simple explanation for Godel's incompleteness theorems is that there cannot be a set of all sets including itself, with the exception perhaps of God. Einstein and Godel had offices at Princeton. I believe Einstein said he didn't understand Godel's work.

There is an explanation of the first incompleteness theorem.

"The first incompleteness theorem shows that the Gödel sentence GF of an appropriate formal theory F is unprovable in F. Because, when interpreted as a statement about arithmetic, this unprovability is exactly what the sentence (indirectly) asserts, the Gödel sentence is, in fact, true (Smoryński 1977"

There are practical consequences for the demonstration of the incompleteness  or limitations of formal systems. Philosophers at least, as well as computer scientists and mathematicians got more to think about. 

The Godel criterion seems reflected in reality at the quantum level in some respects. Even a fundamental particle or wave *in the beginning, requires a precursor outside or before the system starts. Incompleteness exists apparently in the infinities that arise as math physics regress toward the singularity so the model is incomplete.
