I don't know whether you are aware of just how twisted the psyche of the British elite is. It's **** deep and wide in its sickness. I mean, it's so bad that there was a time the sun never sat on the British Empire because God Himself did not trust an Englishman in the dark.
The Brits know how much evil THEY would get up to with such resources. They're keen to prove it, if they can break up Russia and dine on its corpse. What they are not keen to do and never have been keen to do is simply accept Russia's ownership of half the Asian continent. It's why they have always and forever been extremely interested in keeping the Russians from owning Crimea, and it's why they have always and forever been keen on having good relations with Turkey, which controls the Bosporus.
The west is afraid of Russia, plain and simple. Always has been. And Putin gave the west every opportunity to put those fears to rest. He asked to join NATO - to share the same security architecture as the Europeans. The bloc that would have formed would have been invincible. But the assholes just could not bring themselves to play nice with Russia. To share power with Russia. Russia has had cooties for many, many centuries. It's the uncool kid that just will not recognize his place.
The west are the beautiful people. The Russians are the earnest losers who just want good relations - a seat at the cool kids' table. They want in the club.
We've all seen the movie a hundred times. We all know how it ends.
Seems to be exactly why our constitution, the very structure of our country, is set up with the House and the Senate.
One has a voice as loud as the population and one has the exact same representation per boundary.
This forces a balance to mob rule and fleeting popularity.
Russia is the Alaska in this globally. Singapore is Rhode Island.
The Russkis have been at battle with their borders forever. Defensive and untrusting.
Again, who can blame them? But they haven't oh-so-wonderful and noble either.
Back to the question of the chicken or the egg... Hatfield and McCoys...
Who started what and how long ago was it? That part is the mystery and probably not worth knowing if it could ever be known. That's why I can't justify the vitriol from any side of this propaganda war. People acting out in an endless spat based on fairly recent events. The origins of which are from spats previous that came from earlier "recent" events.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
