Too many issues are occurring to me personally and worldwide, so this text would possibly 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 standpoint. So…
1.“Outdated wh*re“ with a violin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 People 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 necessary, and now when somebody from the opposite aspect tells the reality in a means, “I’m not paying or cleansing your sh*t anymore,” Europe is form 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 occasions, and we now 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 would really feel insulted when somebody from the US says, “It’s a must 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 desires to enhance himself within the arts. The opposite brother is investing in weapons and expertise, 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. It’s a must to put money into your personal weapon, expertise, and protection.”
Properly, now you might have 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? In fact, it would.
Large.
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 usually are not your elections, not your president!
EU is plagued with limitless 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 just isn’t gonna be good.
2.East vs. West…Ukraine
Struggle in Ukraine, in its bigger image, is being portrayed as a warfare 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 occasions. A really current historical past of arduous occasions. Folks bear in mind arduous occasions, the communist system, meals rationing, secret police terror, and so forth and so forth.
The common Russian has lived or has a father who lived within the Soviet Union, stripped of all the things that the common EU citizen or EU citizen father had. The common Russian is rather more ready to stay in warfare situations than the common EU citizen.
The primary factor right here is phrase “period.”
The EU alone just isn’t able to serving to with the warfare 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 warfare. They may 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 just isn’t able to taking a extra energetic position in that warfare for an extended time period as a result of the pool of individuals eager to battle there’s positively extra petite and fewer prepared than the pool in Russia.
Techniques are totally different, histories are totally different, or, for instance, the coffins with lifeless troopers coming again dwelling have totally different results in Russia and the EU.
The EU with out the US doesn’t have an excessive amount of probability, and who guilty for that? Learn above once more.
3. People
Now, to comply with all of the above about “not my elections,” I’ll restrain myself from an excessive amount of commenting on it, aside from to say that a few of the media work throughout the marketing campaign and lengthy earlier than jogged my memory of hate and warfare media right here in Balkans. That alone exhibits me how heated the scenario is there.
With concern, hate, polarization, and dehumanization, all the things is feasible. It has occurred earlier than in historical past, and it could actually (will ) occur once more.
The American media actually heated issues and continues to take action.
By watching the media, you would conclude that there are two reverse sides, sure, but in addition two sides which might be nearly able to battle with one another over incorrect automotive stickers, hats, opinions…
From the prepper aspect, don’t get mesmerized with occasions from the massive 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 would possibly miss small however necessary issues which may have larger impression on you as soon as when SHTF.
Keep ready!
