Be Happy: "War is rarer today than it has been for most of the past 50 years — and significantly less deadly. Genocides and mass atrocities are less common all the time. Life expectancy, literacy and standards of living are all rising to historic highs." nytimes.com/2022/07/12/wor…
Be worried:"beginning five or six years ago the number of democracies in the world has shrunk for the first time since World War II. Existing democracies are also becoming less democratic, as well as more polarized and more prone to political dysfunction or outright breakdown."
#1922Plan: For Americans who got to spend most of their lives in a safe and stable society, the shift to seemingly unending political crisis is destabilizing. It can make the world feel darker and more alarming, which might make far-off events feel scarier or more upsetting, too.
Putin's murder rape of Ukraine did not go as smoothly as he boasted it would, but the chaos and spoilage that the Russians are creating came at the exact time the US and European economies were set to rebound. The Petro dictators benefit...up to a point. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The beating heart of this darkness is the artificial wealth generating by hydrocarbons in times of chaos. The same product, in the same amount used by the same customers suddenly doubled. The cost of food is also skyrocketing. A desperate murder suicide pact if you will.
It is going to take a while for America to get their heads around the idea that they were attacked. By then conditions will be perfect to elect another clumsy thug who will promise us he will make America Great but hand the keys over to the petro fascists. Science Fiction? No.
The January 6 team is doing a good job laying the methodically madness of how their flunky tried to destroy American democratic institutions, military power and federal systems. He failed because some people had morals and followed rule of law. Next time? Let's see.
much attention on Trump's brownshirts but the legal, psyops, financial and other planning elements were just as dangerous. All part of overthrowing a government. But it started with Nader, Broidy, Manafort and other foreign backed/supported emissaries. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/j…
We are tangled in old narratives. Take a look at how your life changed after Russia's invasion and list who is supporting Putin's murder spree. Then let's stop that first. Then deal with the collaborators. This is WW3 and Putin is exactly the person our parents warned us about.
World War's are when the global population find clear divisions set by their leaders. One side is for autocracy the other for democracy. We are there now. Let's stop evil before its too late. #1922Plan economist.com/graphic-detail…
Better map..India, Brazil, KSA and Iran are supporting Russia no longer neutral. 70% of global GDP. vs the neutral and Russia-friendly blocs with 30% of the world's GDP. But populariton wise? We are screwed. eiu.com/n/russia-can-c… 
population...dammit. China, India, Russia, much of Africa/Asia want the US holier than thou attitude and the US dollar with it's sanctions out of their third world development plans. We could end up on an economic island with much different long term debt. reuters.com/business/finan…
Why are the petro Fascists doing this to us? They had to. In a world of petro-free energy they will be irrelevant patches of tribal squabbling, jungles and sandy beaches with no towel boys. This is their last chance.
Footnote. God bless the Economist but they are not quite up to speed. Compare their map of "neutral" African nations (left with neutral yellow spots) with the Wagner map (right) and bingo..the #1922Plan becomes clearer. Insidious bastards.
