His writing style is slightly bonkers for sure.
I don't think he's right in his assessment that this isn't in the interests of the US Citizenry. I think it is, but I think those are extremely short-sighted interests that seem sure to backfire in the long run.
1991 the Soviet Union dissolved for a few years it looked like Russia and the west were gonna be friends. Indeed, despite NATO expanding eastward, western relations with Russia seemed optimistic even into the 2000's. It sounds crazy, but Putin talked about wanting to join NATO. Can you imagine that? The entire northern hemisphere of the planet in alliance? Wow!
That changed when Putin realized that even without communism in the way, the west STILL considered Russia outsiders and viewed them as a potential future enemy rather than a potential future ally.
As things are, NATO is lead by the USA. America calls the shots because America puts forth the money. This is in part because the European nations piss their money away on massive welfare systems, spending minute fractions of GDP on defense, but it's also because this is exactly how the US wants it.
The US is content to bankroll Europe's defense because that puts the US in a high measure of control over Europe. So who directs NATO to aggressively provoke Russia instead of seeking friendship with them? The US does.
Why does the US do this? They do it because the US wants to retain control over Europe. Friendship between Europe and Russia mean the US would cease being the dominant global force - Europe and Russia combined would be an overwhelming global influence and the US would lose its crown as the lone global superpower.
So instead, the US works to keep Europe and Russia at eachother's throats.
That's good for the US for now, but for how much longer?
When Russia is pushed fully into the arms of China, as they are being pushed now, what then? The result will be a Russo-Chinese alliance, lead by China.
The US is clinging so desperately to its lone superpower status that it sabotaging Europe, and in doing so, emboldening something that by the end of this century, will be much worse for the US than anything a Euro-Russian alliance could have been.
I can only assume that the brains in the US deep state think the US and EU will come out on top of Russia and China no matter what.
Personally, I think they're fucking morons if they believe that. ...Unless their plan is to war with China, or Russia, very, very soon.
In which case, hold on to your fucking hats boys, because WW3 is possibly coming this decade.
Dominating NATO does help the US, but the average citizen doesn't get much out of it. Stonks go brrrrr, but we still get replaced and have pozzed faggotry pushed on us.
Was that not a rhetorical position to show that NATO does not in fact have an "open door policy?"
Which is retarded because if the US abandoned Europe and focused on building up the western hemisphere, the best hemisphere, we would be in a much stronger position.
Ngl, I'm starting to get a bit worried the Ukraine war is going to escalate to that point. Will it rise to the level of nuclear war? I don't know. But it sure seems like the media and governments are trying to whip the people up into a war frenzy. I'm getting June-Aug 1914 vibes out of all this.
they're all in bed with the chinks, so it doesn't matter.
Yarvin goes through a few different thought experiments on the Ukraine war including maximizing war porn production, realist statemenship, and maximizing the number of dead Ukrainians as a form of punishment.
I do miss back when the ANNA footage from Syria was on YouTube. And I am scratching my head about the lack of footage coming out of Ukraine.
At the moment i think we're seeing heavily curated releases from the ukrainian side, and anything from Russia getting yeeted instantly.
WTF? This guy is too arrogant, far too ironic to be informative or persuasive. He hates his audience so much that he's incomprehensible or his regular readers are so few and familiar that they are in on his irony.
What's the point? Ukraine is a tool of US imperialism and not a moral force for good, given their history; the pretexts for war on all sides disguise motives other than those publicly announced; everyone else offering opinions on what they think might be going on are in effect five-year-olds judging global politics like they might a schoolyard dust-up.
This really doesn't help my understanding of what might actually be happening over there and reinforces my instinct to avoid reading any commentary or reporting on the war until it's over.
