Umberto Eco - Ur Fascism

[Joseph Tracy]

I think the US and EU Nato countries are playing with dynamite. Russia is clearly responding to the threat of Nato missiles right on their border and to the US reneging on earlier promises not to advance Nato boundary. I also think Ukraine should settle while it can. An armed conflict will not go well for them. The US can no longer control the Eurasian continent through proxies. Shit, we couldn’t even succeed in whatever the fuck we thought we were doing in Afghanistan , Syria, Iraq or Libya. Calling Putin names won’t solve the problem. The US should concern itself with our own sovereign territory and stop trying to rule the world.
  I read one of Putin’s speeches a couple days ago and wish our leaders were as smart, careful and sensible. I don’t like authoritarian structures anywhere but acting like our authoritarian crimes are negligible is nonsense. De escalate and make justice in your own house.

I predict the US will back down on Ukraine entering Nato, and that borders as they are will remain.
