I recently read an article about the region of Europe called “The Baltics”……it was not a very optimistic story of the future…..but first I have been watching the events in the Baltics…..I wrote an op-ed about the region……

Then I saw another story on the region……
Russia’s economy is reeling and its military forces are increasingly engaged in Syria and Ukraine, NATO commanders, governments and analysts are concerned that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s adventurism has not run its course.

I then read more on the possibility of some sort of confrontation between Russia and NATO…….as I am always looking for the possibility of confrontations that could possibly lead to a widening conflict in the future….

Had to laugh… “Who is the most paranoid?”
Once it becomes true paranoia, there is no limit to the negative associations that can be made, for they are supplied not by reality, but by imagination, and thus have no limit to what they can fear…. As long as there is an “Us” versus a “Them” to be found, there will be plenty of fear to fan into flames….
We are already IN WWIII, my friend…. Just look at the map of conflicts raging all over the world, declared or undeclared, and it is clear the world is at war with itself, now….
gigoid, the dubious
Then we have nothing to fear but feat itself….Winston was such a tool. chuq
Winnie was definitely a tool… but, I thought it was FDR who said that, re: the New Deal & the depression…
Oh, well, they’re both tools… and FDR was an oligarch tool, as evil a man as ever lived & lied for a lifetime…
gigoid
You are right it was FDR…..Winnie had some crap about “just begun to fight” or something equally as asinine…chuq
Yeah, something about ‘we’ll fight on the beaches, etc.” and that one about, “all I have is blood, sweat, toil, and tears” or some such bs….. Something about assuming power turns people to assholes…
