The relationship by an initial bribe, I guess it clicks now that you said it.

The Roman lines are still important. If a culture can bridge them, then some interesting powers are enabled. I do not understand why, but I see evidence. The evolution of such a culture able to bridge, has been over a long duration of time.

The Greeks had the ability to function in "True Asia". Here I mention ethnographic rather than geographic identifications. India for instance like North America Eurasian, and Eurafrican. Iran is Eurasian, the Arabian Peninsula is Eurafrican.

Romans had little ability to function in the Eurasian realms. Why? Well, I don't know, but some evidence is apparent from history. But the Greeks, Icelanders, and here and there people on that fault line, have to some degree achieved representative government in history. The Romans had some success, but lots of failures in that regard.

Slavery prohibition is a massive advancement beyond that. I guess it may be true, that with machines it was possible to have enough wealth without formal enslavement of people.

To see the Brits go into bondage, is an indicator that something is wrong. It invites worse things.

YouTube: The Future of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander || Peter Zeihan

Video release date March 26, 2025
Last week we had Donald Trump repeating some particularly interesting propaganda. Notice he was saying in Truth Social posts and in interviews that the Russians had surrounded several thousand Ukrainian troops and he was pleading with the Russians to not kill them in what would be a bloodbath. Here's the thing: that never happened. In fact that didn't even occur in Russian propaganda in American political circles. That was Russian propaganda for Russian citizens, to try to convince Russian citizenry that the war in Ukraine was going very well. Somehow that little bit got lodged in Trump's mind and it didn't come from the CIA or the FBI or the Defense Department. It either came directly from Vladimir Putin, or through one of the other vectors that the Russians have been using to influence his administration. So we have a White House that is making public statements and policies basing on an internal Russian propaganda now. And if I could think of one thing that the Russians want in the short term from this administration it's to destroy the NATO alliance which was always formed to contain Russian aggression. And here we are.

Given the option it would be preferred to leave Europe and forget that they exist for a while. But Canada and Mexico have shown decent behaviors just recently, and so, in spite of our spite for Europe, I guess we have to try harder.

The great concern is that an all-out clash between Russia and West Europe with the North Americans backing them would end in vast carnage, at best, and there are other players not necessarily of a savory type that will take advantage of the resulting vacuum.

The best outcome is a draw where Russia does not possess all of Ukraine. The second best is where Russia takes possession of all of Ukraine the worst has another party occupying and colonizing the Ukraine.

The globalists don't care western and near western peoples are those who you can betray to gain Judas money.

There are deeper dangers in this than your simple minded analysis can see.

Unfortunately, our P.Z. does not so much value American or Western values. I think he values power. A great guy, but I don't think he plays entirely for the good guys.
