AN UNDISCUSSED LONG TERM CONSEQUENCE OF THE RUSSIA/UKRAINE WAR

AN UNDISCUSSED LONG TERM CONSEQUENCE OF THE RUSSIA/UKRAINE WAR?

 

One of the glaring delusions of liberalism is not only the counter-factual, but the weird idea that all human-beings are fundamentally the same.  Their differences are said to be merely a consequence of social and economic environment.  In this respect liberalism is as delusive as Marxism, which also imagines that human-beings are a product of socio-economic environment. 

 

Of course we are not only genetically different, but also culturally and morally very different.  It is a delusion just to think that because we think in a particular way that people in other parts of the world will do so too.

 

This delusion has had serious consequences for American led “Western” foreign policy. 

 

An interesting quirk being the arming with modern weapons and the training of the Taliban and the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet invasion. 

 

The CIA and other American force projection entities thought they had done very well in arming and funding the Mujahedeen to drive out the Soviets.  They soon found that the same skills could be used around the world against the USA, not only around the world, but also in Afghanistan itself!

 

This brings me on to a parallel development in Ukraine where the West’s Liberal Internationalist Leaders have all piled in on supporting the Ukraine and without giving serious consideration to anything Russia had to say about it or to Russia’s legitimate interests without any mainstream media even discussing Russia’s point of view. A “balanced” and fair media, should at least discuss the pros and cons of both sides point of view.

 

I don’t however want to get into the relative merits or into questions of atrocities or anything else relating to the conduct of the war apart from the Western funding and supply and training of militias. 

 

Those that have been paying attention to sources other than the mono-maniacal propagandist mainstream media will realise that there are allegations that the Ukrainian militia are at the very least allegedly “Far Right” and specifically there are some allegations of being “Neo Nazis”.  For an interesting discussion about this see this article in Unherd >>> https://unherd.com/2022/03/the-truth-about-ukraines-nazi-militias/?=refinnar

 

The consequence of arming and training the Taliban/Mujahedeen in Afghanistan was that there was a very serious upgrade in the military capability of the Taliban and of Islamist fighters such as Al Qaida. 

 

The arming of “Far Right/Neo Nazi” militias in Ukraine may produce an “interesting” similar situation which is likely to impact, not only on the future politics of the Ukraine, but of almost certainly all of Eastern Europe.  This may well spread into Western Europe, if the Ukrainian militias are genuinely Neo Nazi. 

 

In which case they may want to mimic the old Nazi slogan of “Heute Deutschland, Morgan die welt” updated into “Today Ukraine, tomorrow the world”!
