  • I genuinely can’t fathom how anyone other than Russia and their buddies can look at this situation and think they’re better off not helping Ukraine right now. What do they expect? That Russia will say “Ah, gobbling up Ukraine hit the spot, I’m good now. Thanks guys!” and stop their aggression forever?

    Ukraine is just the first step. Eventually, Russia will gain more power and influence and encroach into more European territories. You have to be either deluded or directly stand to benefit from Russia’s invasion to think just because Russia cannot physically invade the US as easily, that the US won’t hurt badly because of it. I really don’t get it.






  • Making short-sighted decisions to obtain results quickly is just human nature.

    Fascists, populists and demagogues exploit this flaw in human nature to rise up. They promise big things using big words to masses of people who are uneducated, jaded, or both.

    Some people in Spain, like in many other countries right now (USA, Greece, Italy…) are turning to fascism because they feel squeezed dry and let down (unemployment, Covid economic hangover, inflation, etc.) by their current governments, so they run to the people sat in the opposite (or most extreme) end of the political spectrum hoping they can turn things around.

    With such a simplistic, binary mindset, coupled with a younger generation of voters who have not experienced what it’s like to live in a fascist country, it’s no wonder fascism and belligerent nationalism are gaining traction in the West. I just hope we can turn things around before more European countries follow on Hungary’s steps.
