Beefs with Russia

The "great game" is a huge waste of money and resources, that is, the conflict between the corrupt oligarchs of the world and their henchmen in national capitals is an enormous waste. The USA has pissed away endless resources on useless wars for decades. Currently, the US has an almost inexplicable beef with Russia over Ukraine, which is a country that produces tractors and food stuff and has about the same GDP as 20 counties in Ohio.

I think the apparent conflict with Russia over Ukraine is theater, and nothing substantial is going to happen because of it. I think it's mainly the useless trashbucket Biden administration trying to whip up patriotic fervor over a war that no sane person in the US wants.

The "neoliberals" have pushed aggressive policy against Russia for decades. They are a group of parasite thieves. They really aren't capable to a productive, or cooperative arrangement with anyone.

I don't doubt that the people who run each of the world's nations are a similar set of criminals, but the criminals in DC and NYC are currently the worst ones on the planet.

I hope, eventually, humanity can do better, but I'm getting more and more skeptical everyday. People really suck, en masse. A lot of the valid criticisms of the powers that be also apply to the mass of people.
