So much rhetoric, so little substance. That you suggest myths and fantasies as inspiration speaks volumes. Most humans stop playing action heroes when they turn four or so.
I prefer to focus on the real world. and I probably know more of Russia and Ukraine than you.
Feral....why make this into a competition about how much you or I know about Russia and Ukraine. For those of us who are working hard to understand the complexities that is the current proxy war in Ukraine, there is much to try to understand. Mearshimer, Chomsky, Haque, Tanner, Vexler, Snyder and a host of others have done a great job of laying out facts and interpretations of what is taking place now to even further threaten world peace. Frantz Fanon in his historic Wretched of the Earth famously said that every generation must discover its mission and then proceed to realize its mission or betray it. I am a very early Baby Boomer and my generation has terribly fumbled our mission ball. Post World War II we were to keep world peace, step back from nuclear confrontation and go forward in laying down frameworks to ensure sustainable civilizations. What a mess we have left the younger ones.
The mess is undeniable and the blown opportunities?
1) 1/60 of the $21 trillion pissed away on IraqNamAfgan would abolish world hunger
2) with the collapse of the USSR the US could have led nuclear disarmament but went for more nukes, and more “defense” spending than ever.
3) America leads the world in pollution and leads by a mile in.the total pollution since the Industrial Revolution.. instead of leading reduction of its pollution, it has not reduced it a bit.
Any sensible species would never have allowed nuclear weaponry sufficient to end our lease on this planet. But nooo.

We need heroes, new ones with ideals and principles. Redaction heroes won’t do.
