Oy vey. Well lets hope that wont happen again, but I doubt that the US is going to really be personally be affected by by any conflict it starts. Beyond all the dead poor people they throw into whatever meat grinder they get going.
Also I might have to give that book a read.
I’m also thinking about Germany mulling madatory conscription, the constant headlines from European states that they need to get ready for another continental war. Isn’treal trying to start a major conflict with Hezbolla, Yemen and Iran, plus the constant Taiwan rattle-sabering.
My one hope is, in the universes consistent rule of irony, that the West with its already near total deindustrialisation and gig economy, that the beast is already far to decayed to pull any of this off. That and our rulers are dumber than a bag of rocks.
We’ll know by the end of the year. I’ll spare you all the reports from my astrologer friends, but I’d say it’s all going to hinge on the US elections this year, as well as the 50 other major elections worldwide. If the decrepit establishment of the US empire think that they could lose the election to a political outsider, I’d say we can expect a major false flag or a huge war to justify not surrendering their power. Probably against Iran but who knows.
These maniacs have it in their mind that they have to take all these nations down before 2030, when they reckon they’ll be too weak to fight them.
Failing that, I think they’ll fall back on their lessons from post-WWII. If enough nations are in ruins, then you can flood them with money, buy up all their companies, and have them utterly dependant on your exports. Hell, we can already see it happening with all these German companies and Taiwanese Semi-conductor industry.
I think if you tell them there is a poor urchin with rickets and bowed legs, they will instinctively try and kick away their crutches.
But even still, you can never be too sure…
Just moved continent, still dying of jet lag. Tired. Burned out by the state of online discourse. Annoyed by fellow comrades online and their constant disparaging of the religious and spiritual beliefs of others. Tired. Just tired.
I think you can make the argument that the US might have known Pearl Harbour could be a target, and would have been a good excuse to get involved in the war. But the attack itself, coupled with a general offensive across pretty much all of east asia, was not something anyone thought could be possible. Not at the level they did, anyway. The attack itself did very little actual long term damage (sorry to all the people who died) to the yanks fighting capabilities though.
Fraid not, they’re a swamp witch back home. But the Astrology Podcast can be okay. I just have to find some lefty astrologers online.
