I think this shouldn't be a surprise. I don't think these people even try to be competent in how they do things.

Fair enough. Yes, it's more febrile now. So polarised... I guess the hard work to keep the little people divided is paying off. Unfortunately for us as so much more unites us than what divides us. I wish more people saw that

I wish I could believe that the Americans will face restance and I hope they do. However, I'll believe it when I see it. It seems to me that so far the Europeans have been subservient. Plus, I'm not convinced they're powerful enough to not toe the line...

By this country do you mean the UK or Russia? And I'd be interested in your reasoning as to why a US implosion would be good for the West? It's not that I disagree. More like wanting more details

Isn't it going to be beneficial for many if that happened? At the moment they seem to me to pose a threat to world peace? Or do you mean those who benefit from the current situation are the ones panicing?

I can see why this may be... how crazy everything has become...

This is going to get interesting. I just hope the information is correct.

Fair enough. A very reasonable desire. Unfortunately, not the kind of conversation our societies can handle these days...

This assumes the current phase comes to an end in the foreseeable. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like this to be true, I don't think this will be the case

And the world, as a result. Unfortunately, at the moment I feel the US as a dark energy... hopefully humanity averts a major calamity. Situations like this demonstrate why power HAS to be separated, to avoid its abuse... nationally and internationally

Hang in there! Sounds like you're going through a very tough time but I have to believe that after the rain eventually the sunshine will come. Re the writing, your mind may still be processing something at its back

I also can't get over the fact that Kwarteng gets invited to these shows. On the plus side, this really helped me see through all the myths we're told. So, as annoying as it is, perhaps we should just stick it out as it'll alert more and more people of the duplicy that's going on.
