Will the brinkmanship ever end in peace?
At what point do communists ever decide their game of control is impossible to achieve? When they have destroyed the planet they live on? Does admiration of peace and prosperity matter anymore? Putin’s ideology ends in disaster. The alternatives are so much better. Communists are crazy bastards.
I think this mess actually started with Steve Bannon and Breitbart and the pursuit of billions at any cost. They really did turn the corner on decency. Ethics was discarded when it got in the way of greed. When the West’s civility was being defeated by the ruthless capitalists, Russia experienced fear and turned it into opportunity with efforts like the NRA. I really think when nothing made sense to Putin anymore, the communist party became a security blanket.
