Nostradamus predicted WW III and it looks like we know the madman of this third global war: Putin. All this mayhem because Russia never became an enlightened nation; all for the sake of remaking what was once a great nation and never will be again. If only Russia became a bottom-up nation like almost all European nations try to be or achieved, then we would not have this horrendous carnage on our hands.
The Russian people are not empowered, follow their leader as if he is God, and they either give their lives so others can reap the benefits, or they flee for the borders and live their lives in freedom, perhaps even politically empowered abroad like they have never experienced before at home.
Russians support their football team and they can't even imagine that there is anything wrong with their football team. They think everyone else in the world is with their football team just like they are because the Russians never saw what happened in the rest of the world other than through the eyes of government regurgitation and tunnel visions of what others have that they do not have at home.
Imagine being Nostradamus, seeing all this mad sickness appear in front of his vision, all because there are these various forms of selfishness fighting one another, the Russians in this case the madmen. Poor, sick, delusional mankind. Putin runs his country as if it is a Western business but then with no government in the world above him. A horse without a rider. A scythe coming out of nowhere.
No, the West is not perfect. The US and the UK have pathetic minor democracies that are loaded with money nevertheless that they reaped across the centuries while today they are aligned with much better and stronger democracies but that have less filled pockets. From the East, it must be weird to be looking at the cooperation between these real democracies and these half democracies. But the false democracies they have in the East themselves are nothing compared to the half- and full democracies of the West.
One thing we know for sure:
Putin cannot win.
Putin can only win if he represents the Russian people through their own free will. And that is what the Russians do not have. Putin is a Rasputin leading the entire nation along an abyss of Russian ideology that never was, appeared to be true at one point in time, and yet never can be even that glorious ever again. Only free nations can be truly great.
Ukraine has free will; it will defend itself ten times more strongly than Russia can ever amount while attacking its neighbors. The Russians can be strong: but only when defending mother Russia; not while attacking other nations for shitty reasons that support their leaders and no one else.
The outcome is secured; the unnecessary loss of human lives, loss of dignity, and the indelible dark pages of history added on to so many dark pages already on the books for Russia, one cannot believe that Russian folks keep running toward the darkness thinking it is the light. Freedom will always win from those that support their football team thinking this is driven by no one else but God. Freedom if stronger than any football team. Freedom is stronger than any person claiming to be God, taking so many people with him in his death that unfortunately will not come soon enough.
