It really is horrific, realizing these politicians seem to think it's a good thing that so many people are dying over there - because in their small minds, Russia and Putin is a greater evil - so all these people must lose their lives for the "greater good". And what's even sicker - is really, that's not what this is about - it's about corporate hegemony and the pipeline they blew up.

They're all pushing for more bloodshed - there is no serious attempt to resolve the issue without more killing. It really is a kind of Twilight Zone - where you and I have found ourselves in some kind of Nazi Regime of death - where mass murder has become the moral thing to do. An upside down world of human values and corrupt murderers in charge.

I know I keep repeating this, but try to place yourself in 1930-40s Germany. Being one of the few who saw things through. The whole West is now in that condition.

Yes but this time if they go through with it, the continuing non-stop escalation - nuclear war. Hearing Tucker Carlson say it was a hard pill to swallow - that he is convinced it will happen. Hard to wrap my mind around it - the sociopathic fools may actually do it - really cause perhaps the end of life as we know it - and create a mad max type of world.

So then again, what has life really been about? Can one derive any kind of meaning from it? What lies beyond our own mortality if anything?

Yes, we are heading there just as Hitler was back then had he gotten nuclear in time. And just as the US did as soon as it got it.

Today's crop are true descendants of all those MacArthur types and are just as itching to finish the job. I don't know why you seem to be so surprised.

Well - I think I'll be surprised at my own death, even though I know it's coming (eventually). Some part of me keeps thinking life will just keep going on and on.
