...A World War Is The Result.
The world isn't stupid. Everybody knows that Ukraine "wanted" to be liberated by Russia. Even pro Putin folks know this is wrong, but they have the most to benefit from the wrong doing. When you have to do something wrong to get your desired result, it is natural to try your best to convince it is necessary. It is natural to believe anything that justifies what you have done. It is natural to want to surround yourself with others that feel the same way.
Putin knows that his popularity dropped when he invaded Ukraine just like Hitler invaded Poland. But if the Bully that starts the big fight wins the big fight, the Bully is emboldened. Trump is a bully who started a big fight between the political parties and got his ass kicked. Putin is a bully who was...let's just say emboldened. He was emboldened when nothing was done when he jacked around with Georgia. He was emboldened when nothing was done when he jacked around with Crimea.
When Egos get emboldened, those Egos start wars.
Could the potential WWIII be the fight Putin starts that will eventually humble him? Emboldened egos are the hardest to humble. "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth," the famous quotation by Boxer Mike Tyson rings a bell here (see what I did there?). Who is going to be the one who initiates the Punch? Who is going to bruise this flawless Ego?
When there is a pissing contest between two leaders, the people who get pissed on are those who are lead by the leaders. Putin and his advisors are pissing all of the the people of Russia. There is nothing more dangerous than a Man who can do what he wants knowing he will get away with it. Putin has cost the folks of Russia the pleasure of enjoying Big Macs for the sake of starting a fight with a country that simply wanted to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Putin is the disgruntled ex-boyfriend who got mad when his ex-girlfriend started courting NATO. NATO has a bigger penis than Putin. Ukraine was "faking it" when it was a part of the USSR during the cold war.
The piss is trickling in America in the form of high gas prices. Of course the "Let's Go Brandon" folks are blaming the current administration. Of course we live in a country that is united against the thought of high gas prices. It sucks that we live in a country that will spend more time arguing over the cause than time spent on working on a solution. I wonder if those shirts that say "I'd Rather Be Russian Than Be A Democrat" shirts are still being bought up by the same folks who defended our American flag during the National Anthem.
