19:54 |
mangol |
signpost: the chick / social media personality / aspiring groupie is our prime minister. something like our own kamala harris |
19:55 |
mangol |
she's from schwab's WEF stock |
19:56 |
mangol |
last december iirc, said we wouldn't join NATO under her term. now "let's see if .se and .fi can join NATO in 2 weeks". not the least bit surprising |
20:00 |
signpost |
sounds about right. |
20:01 |
signpost |
I suppose the simulated world war wasn't good enough. |
20:03 |
mangol |
seems usg wants to get into .ru by any means necessary. fi and se are the last holdouts who've abstained from NATO; we are standing in their way. |
20:03 |
mangol |
frankly, i'm surprised the force-push into nato took this long |
20:05 |
mangol |
in recent decades, fi/se have been 100% pro-west culturally, but remained staunchly neutral on all military matters for obv. reasons |
20:07 |
mangol |
now that ukr war is on, our political theater has turned into full-on psychedelia. i haven't kept tabs on .se but assume it's similar over there |
20:07 |
mangol |
very transparent that usg is all but putting words into everyone's mouths via WEF and EU |

afaict rockefellers wrote similar tomes a century ago, about "unipolar world or bust" |

asciilifeform said a couple days back that there likely isn't an endgame besides "suck ever more resources from the undeserving" |
20:30 |
mangol |
schwab is a busy guy, his organization has trained an astonishing number of people over several decades. thousands. |
20:31 |

20:31 |
signpost |
what's its endgame in dealing with the russians and chinese, I mean. |
20:31 |
signpost |
well, and from what I've managed to eat of the book, schwab wants a woke-branded socialism with chinese characteristics. |
20:32 |
mangol |

20:37 |
mangol |
and that that's why us foreign policy is so erratic |
20:43 |
signpost |
there's also the practical matter of there being two parties, and the difficulty of running on the "same policy, but, uh, better!" platform. |

us's next military objective seems to be sprinkling missiles pointed at ru all around eastern europe (possibly including fi -- fun times ahead) |
