The end of the “special operation” called “our war” by Polish politicians depends – as never before – on ... Israeli authorities.
Let me reiterate the alternatively apparent view that the seemingly thoughtless (from the point of view of Israeli citizens) war with the full mediate East is aimed at implicating the US in Israel's defence, with a side effect (but necessary), is the ending of Washington's support for the Kiev authorities.
It will besides be a good pretext: there is yet an nonsubjective “greater war” going on, and her U.S. will not be able to lose, or possibly repeat the Afghan script, but in another part of the Muslim world. For Western allies of the US, especially for Old Europe, this is the most desirable scenario, due to the fact that "world leadership" will be much little burdensome and will weaken the conflict from which it will be easier to get out.
American wars are long-lasting, costly and objectively pointless from an American perspective. The essence of the strategies in these wars is to drag them long adequate to “throw” the political defeat of the successors. This was the case with Vietnam, Iraq and fresh Afghanistan. The necessity of an imminent escape from Kabul was dropped off to Joe Biden, who would already be past as the author of this defeat. This will be his creative contribution to U.S. past already has a permanent place in textbooks.
Disliked by Old Europe Donald Trump – if he wins in November 2024 – is simply a dream candidate for a akin role: he is to engage the US in the war in the mediate East and lead it patiently until the end of his word to drop off this cuckoo egg of his successor (or successor). And then what happens? Doesn't matter, due to the fact that does anyone think about the categories of a long period? What matters is what happens tomorrow, and what truly matters today.
The most crucial enemy of present and future authorities in Washington (and not only) is the socially and economically degraded poor. As long as her hatred can be directed on equally mediocre migrants, power has the advantage and can play the function of arbitrator and, above all, to deal with the interests of lobbyists. For this reason, we will hear about "solving the problems of migrants" and it is known that this is simply a "difficult problem" and we must wait long for the affirmative finale of this policy. And we shall see, and then there will be a time of FULFIT for all. White and black mediocre people are expected to believe that and get distant from a political class that has to head their own business, and I don't want her disturbed.
If for individual (especially raised in Bond and Rambo films) it is simply a painful image and most importantly – “anti-American” (the most severe accusation over the Vistula), then I urge not reading further due to the fact that it may be besides difficult. The political class (not only in the U.S.) is to be rich thanks to the most crucial gain that is power, which it is "acts" in its own interests or its local or abroad protectors. And the lofty words about “the country” and “the public interest” are only to make individual believe them and not be curious in what they should not.
And how is our “belonging (without the rest) to the West” political class? Can “world leadership” be so disappointing to her trust? Will she gotta digest another Western betrayal? Can he handle it? I'm calm about her condition, though not entirely. Those who truly believe in the unconditional and determined attitude of “world leadership” in defence of the current authorities in Kiev may experience hard moments of doubt. Here, however, the effects of taking movie adventures seriously Rambo can be rather harmful. They may not get together and go (to our delight) into political retirement. The remainder will escape the sinking ship. We have already seen the first symptoms of the reiterade: not a word about: “our war”, “unconditional support for the fighting Ukraine” and “United West” and “Russian invasion”. The orphaned or abandoned politicians will search fresh leadership, grasping fresh handles, and new, faithful addresses will be even more pathetic. possibly it's time for a political retirement betrayed by the West.
