    PUTIN ON EXCEPTIONALISM

    —“They have come to believe in their exceptionalism and their sense of being the chosen ones. That they can decide the destinies of the world, that it is only them who can be right.”—

    Not really. It’s pretty hard to argue against self-determination. Certainly the Tibetans, Mongolians, Ukrainians, South Vietnamese, Poles, Romanians, Hungarians, Czechs, Georgians… (well you get the idea)… all prefer self determination.

    And the west supports self determination. Because ‘Sovereignty’ is the central value of the western heroic vision of man. Because it leads to the division of labor and prosperity for all.

    It’s pretty hard to argue in favor of military expansion of territory. But its pretty easy to argue for the containment of military expansion of territory.

    Its pretty hard to argue that a government that will exterminate millions of its own people is ‘a good way’.

    But then, I want to collapse the USA because our government has become like theirs. Not because of it’s puruit of self determination. Instead, the west has turned against self determination.

    European and American as well.

    Cheers.

    THANK RUSSIANS AND CHINESE: THERE IS NO NEW WORLD ORDER WITHOUT THE MYTH OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.

    Maybe we should just thank the Russians and the Chinese for their contribution to anarchy.

    I mean, first they disprove socialism.

    Now they disprove postmodernism.

    I mean, the bad guys really do all the hard work for us, don’t they?

    The collapse of the progressive fantasy continues.

    USA APPROVES OF SECESSION?

    So, does this mean that the USA now supports secession?

    That is excellent news. Why?

    Secession kills the creditworthiness of the state.

    Without credit, there is no welfare-warfare state.

    Texas has its own power grid. 😉

    Russia says they ‘own’ Hungary, Bulgarian, and Ukraine.

    –“”We believe that the rights of Russians, Hungarians, Bulgarians, actually as Ukrainians, must be secured and protected,” — says Lavrov in London after the talks with the US Secretary of State John Kerry.”–

    Didn’t Occur to me that if the Russians take Crimea, the Chinese will then take Taiwan. Just like it didn’t occur to me that the Russian elite look at china as a model government.

    What are we supposed to learn? The social democratic model doesn’t work no matter what way we look at it? Right? I mean. That’s the lesson isn’t it?

    WHAT MORAL RULES DO YOU USE IN GLOBAL STRATEGY?

    (anti-russian pro-conflict warning) (i warned you)

    I don’t understand why Crimea can’t be an independent country. I view voluntary secession as an inviolable human right of free association. I don’t understand why Crimea, which has been a Russian asset for a very long time, cannot choose to join Russia. I completely understand why Russia’s internal security requires the Crimean warm water ports.

    But that is very different from taking it by force. Especially when it could have been leased or purchased outright, and a referendum constructed that would easily have been possible by merely negotiating a discount on gas with Ukraine.

    If Russia cannot be a good world citizen, the the only alternative, is to yet again, militarily punish Russia; and to keep punishing Russia economically and politically every few generations until it learns to be a good world citizen. Fascination with the quality of life of one’s citizens, stable borders, and plentiful trade: period. Not restoration of the Caliphate or the Soviet Empire. The world needs far more smaller states not bigger ones, whose only value is the ability to conduct of war.

    We have spent five-hundred years of blood and treasure incompetently but steadily dragging humanity out of ignorance and poverty. And we have spent spent the past twenty years building commercial ties and dependence the post-soviet sphere and the west, in the hope of bringing Russia into the modern word of prosperity.

    Because a militaristic and totalitarian Russia is intolerable to the west.

    Because while a German-Russian partnership, where both countries Suppress corruption, share resources and skills, is an asset to both the world and the west, and allows the american empire to contract – – while a Europe held hostage by a totalitarian Russia is a strategic impossibility for both america

    The only way to prevent energy being used as a weapon is to conquer or colonize the source of the energy.

    So, if Russia has given up on the respect for boundaries, maybe the west should give up on respect for boundaries, and colonize Moscow and Russian resources.

    Just drive them into poverty yet again, collapse their economy. And acknowledge that Russia is not ready willing and able to enter the modern world on its own.

    And it’s self defense to leave that kind of government in your back yard.

    —“What the Ukraine episode demonstrates very clearly is that the post-WW II effort to substitute law for interest has failed. In regard to Russia, China, Brazil, Israel, Europe, and Iran, the issue is what the major powers will agree to–same as it ever was.”—

    There are no international laws, because they are not possible.

    1) Interests

    2) Force

    3) Agreement

    The Pax Ango-Americana is unnatural.

    And it’s ending along with the Postmodern project.

    –“Liberty is a political order that is created and maintained with force. It does have a source: violence. So far only Anglo-Saxon people have ever created a political order that allows for the kind of personal autonomy and agency that is what libertarians mean by “liberty.” Other Europeans have come close, and have successfully assimilated into Anglo-American liberty. Other people have not come even close. Most cultures do not even value it. It is suicidal for liberty to think that the West should open up to to non-Europeans that do not give a shit about our notions of liberty.”– Mike Peinovich
