By the writer of The Darkish Secrets and techniques of Survival
Too many issues are occurring to me personally and worldwide, so this text may look to you want ranting and even blabbing, however I see it as my very own reactions to occasions and my very own tackle that occasion from the earlier perspective. So…
1.“Previous wh*re“ with a violin
Not too many occasions within the final years introduced so many reactions as the newest presidential election leads to the US. I’m speaking about reactions in Europe(EU).
You could possibly conclude, primarily based on these reactions, that the gates of hell opened and demons gonna assault Europe, or rain of fireplace gonna fall on it as a result of Individuals elected their president.
The information is stuffed with reactions and eventualities of the way forward for Europe now that Trump has received, and what strikes me most is the image being portrayed the place media and massive pictures in Europe act like they’re one of many states within the US. They act like they acted for many years, totally depending on the US for something that’s actually vital, and now when somebody from the opposite aspect tells the reality in a method, “I’m not paying or cleansing your sh*t anymore,” Europe is type of shocked and insulted.
We ( who’re in Europe geographically however not within the EU, who’re like on the margin on it) felt the hypocrisy of the EU many instances, and now we have been saying that Europe is an previous mendacity wh*re.
So, Europe will develop, have ties with everybody, convey its personal navy energy to ruins, and make investments that cash in one thing else…however on the identical time, it is going to really feel insulted when somebody from the US says, “You need to defend your self, I’m not doing that for you or paying for that.”
It’s like two brothers dwelling in a harmful neighborhood. One is investing in his violin, and courses of violin taking part in, as a result of he needs to enhance himself within the arts. The opposite brother is investing in weapons and abilities, and he’s defending each of them, to maintain each of them safe for years.
After which one-day the weapons-investing brother says, “It’s sufficient. You need to spend money on your personal weapon, abilities, and protection.”
Effectively, now you’ve gotten solely your violin, and you’re a virtuoso in violin taking part in in a really harmful neighborhood.
Is Trump’s election gonna have repercussions on the scenario within the EU? After all, it is going to.
Enormous.
Who’s at fault for that? Undoubtedly the previous mendacity (unprepared) wh*re. Wh*re with violin.
So, for all whining EU huge pictures…develop up and settle for actuality: these should not your elections, not your president!
EU is plagued with countless discussions and animosities between itself (members), privileged components of societies, its personal definitions of democracy, and a sick understanding of liberties and rights (or the absence of these).
Europe as we all know it, or as we need to comprehend it, is dying if it ever existed in any respect. Europe that’s coming shouldn’t be gonna be good.
2.East vs. West…Ukraine
Warfare in Ukraine, in its bigger image, is being portrayed as a battle between the East and the West.
The West, in essence, doesn’t perceive how the East works. The East has (I’m there, and was “East“ within the closest time period) a historical past of arduous instances. A really latest historical past of arduous instances. Folks keep in mind arduous instances, the communist system, meals rationing, secret police terror, and so forth and so forth.
The typical Russian has lived or has a father who lived within the Soviet Union, stripped of every part that the typical EU citizen or EU citizen father had. The typical Russian is far more ready to dwell in battle situations than the typical EU citizen.
The principle factor right here is phrase “period.”
The EU alone shouldn’t be able to serving to with the battle in Ukraine for too lengthy of a time. After a really quick time, the EU (people within the EU, public opinion, majority, name it what you want) will need their violin again. They aren’t prepared for battle. They are going to need facilities of the great life, and most of them will need to overlook Ukraine, to show their heads to the opposite aspect. “We wish our violins again.”
To not point out that the EU shouldn’t be able to taking a extra lively position in that battle for an extended time frame as a result of the pool of individuals desirous to battle there may be undoubtedly extra petite and fewer prepared than the pool in Russia.
Methods are completely different, histories are completely different, or, for instance, the coffins with lifeless troopers coming again house have completely different results in Russia and the EU.
The EU with out the US doesn’t have an excessive amount of likelihood, and who guilty for that? Learn above once more.
3. Individuals
Now, to observe all of the above about “not my elections,” I’ll restrain myself from an excessive amount of commenting on it, apart from to say that a few of the media work throughout the marketing campaign and lengthy earlier than jogged my memory of hate and battle media right here in Balkans. That alone exhibits me how heated the scenario is there.
With concern, hate, polarization, and dehumanization, every part is feasible. It has occurred earlier than in historical past, and it may well (will ) occur once more.
The American media actually heated issues and continues to take action.
By watching the media, you can conclude that there are two reverse sides, sure, but in addition two sides which might be virtually able to battle with one another over fallacious automotive stickers, hats, opinions…
From the prepper aspect, don’t get mesmerized with occasions from the large circle solely (elections, world scenario) and overlook to concentrate to your personal small circle occasions ( household, metropolis…).
By paying an excessive amount of consideration to huge occasions, you may miss small however vital issues that may have larger affect on you as soon as when SHTF.
Keep ready!
