Actually, nobody in the real world “cares” when a few grumpy old nutballs want to support Russia’s war and genocide in Ukraine. The fringes of the political spectrum have always existed and in the end they mean nothing.

I don’t consider myself “on the fringe’, I consider myself a realist who sees things clearly and am uninfluenced by the propaganda you pro-Ukies fall for. And I believe my perspective of things is more closely aligned with that of the vast majority of the world outside of the West.

The current system is failing despite the West’s best efforts to shore it up. That’s why we are desperately trying to engage Russia and China militarily in these various proxy wars as a way of preserving the status quo. But with almost all of the West bankrupt with unpayable debt this won’t be sustainable. The EU will be the first to crack because they lack natural resources, and they will eventually have to make accommodations with the Russians whether they like it or not. And the US is headed for a very reduced standard of living, which will result in less support for our insane military spending at the expense of other things. The elites themselves can see where things are heading, and are currently doing all they can to keep Russia and China in line. But I don’t see it working this time too many factors working against it.
