The ol' switcharoo.
This was already reported on not to long ago, BUT it needs to be addressed further because I thought this would garner alot more attention the first time, and it didn't. It should have shocked a decent portion of people awake to what's going on but it didn't.
Back in the 80s when russia was in afghanastan, russia was totally winning and afgans were totally losing. UNTIL america gave the afgans stinger missiles. Along with other arms through nefarious means of course. This story raised some feathers in the public but not alot because the majority of the population thought they were in on part of some cool tricky war tactics.
As a result russia collapsed from the weight of war debt, as was obvious to anyone with half a brain.
Now fast forward BACK to afghanastan and to iraq and lo and behold ROLES ARE REVERSED we are in the quagmire and russia is supplying the guns. Turn about is fair play I guess. That's what it looks like that on the surface and that could be partly it, but only a small portion to add irony.
What we have here is an old trick ad naseum, used by the ones that really control stuff on this big blue marble. That is obvious to me without digging. It's painted in all histories on all continents. It's the theme for alot of hollywood movies.
What is almost to much for me to bare is the realization that, that war IS within ALOT of people's memories. Those same people who cheered the government for giving the stingers to the afghans are still cheering. They havent even made the simple logical observation that the roles got switched / reversed, and what happened to russia when they were in the role we occupy at the moment.
OR even the next logical jump that if roles got reversed their cheering should have turned to "uh ohs", but it didn't, and it probably wont ever. Because people are just not that smart anymore...en mass. They cant even remember 25 years ago.
If you want a definitive sign about exactly what point we are really at then this is it.
Might want to strap in for 3rd world country transition mode, because someone is gearing it up and they are gonna push the button soon.
