What's most upsetting and insulting about the modern-era is the sloppiness on all sides. German military leadership using unprotected channels, etc., it all shows a ruling class that not only selects purposefully for the unqualified, but it shows a fundamental lack of fear.

That's really what it is. They have won, and because they have won they feel safe and don't care. They are completely justified in not obeying what a civilian imagines proper military protocol because no one will kill them, and no one who matters will die because of their choices.

Even the "Russian" leadership didn't really miscalculated in using Zoom, because who is going to assassinate them?

The World will get sloppier. It will get more third world and casual Friday until everywhere is Brazil and South Africa and Florida in Summer, and we will be told it is progress and Democracy.

For all of Russia's problems (and I'm not Zanon guy), I do not see under any circumstances forces being brought to bare directly against Russia. No draft will ever get people motivated to fight for anything in Western Europe. No, this doesn't mean I think that Russia is therefore all powerful, far from it. I just see more dithering and wasteful attrition on both sides until there is nothing left worth fighting for and enough slavs have been killed and people stop caring.

It should be also noted there is simply nothing left to give to the Ukraine, or at least it's dwinding rapidly. This will turn into another cold war with lines drawn.

Whatever, this is all tragic, gay, and tiresome all at once.

When bitcoin moons I'm just going to move to Latin America and stop following all this.
