By the way, how long has the "economic collapse blog" been around? 15 years? I recall seeing it easily between 5-10 years ago.Tom Mazanec wrote: Thu Apr 01, 2021 6:28 am From my favorite doommonger Mike Snyder:
As Russian Tanks Move Toward Ukraine, The Globe Braces For The Possibility That World War 3 Could Soon Erupt

If you were to resurrect an American who had lived before 1900 and showed them around America today, you would be unable to convince them that a catastrophic event had not already taken place. They would never believe that this is how Americans chose to live. The society that our American forefathers built has already collapsed. You live in the ruins, but will not accept it. Come to terms with that and build from there; otherwise, you will continue to waste what remains of your life ignorantly waiting for the 'collapse' and asking why things just keep getting worse.Cool Breeze wrote: Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:07 amBy the way, how long has the "economic collapse blog" been around? 15 years?

There is no logic. It's a nutty "strategy".DaKardii wrote: Tue Mar 30, 2021 3:44 pm > So, I've been looking further into Brzezinski's "Eurasian Balkans"

I don't follow your logic. You started from Brzezinski's "Eurasian
Balkans" theory, which you say is the Biden administration's grand
strategy. But then you go on to describe how WW III will start in the
Caucasus or in Central Asia, but you make no connection between this
prediction and Brzezinski's strategy. That is, you seem to be saying
that WW III will start in the Caucasus or in Central Asia irrespective
of whether the Biden administration adopts Brzezinski's strategy. So
I don't follow the logic.
Materialists (I am not one) don't define it that way, Guest. We european christians have been all but replaced anyway in our own country, so it's not a shock. I agree with you, so you should know that my post initially was tongue in cheek.

Nutty, perhaps. Immoral, definitely.
