What people said

Did I say that Russian soldiers are the victims? No. I know they killed civilians. I know that many of them are looters. I strongly against this war. I want it to stop it right now. The purpose of my message is to show that most people only read pro-Ukraine propaganda and they don't want to figure out what were the reasons for this war. They don't want to know that the National Guard of Ukraine has a real neo-nazi battalion, which in 2019, 40 US senators recognized as terrorist. Most people don't want to know that there was a war in the east of Ukraine for 8 years and now it's final stage. They don't want to think about Odessa massacre in 2014 when pro-Ukranian activists burned their opponents alive. Air attack on Luhansk in 2014? I understand that it is easier to construct a chain of thoughts where the Russians are to blame for everything. But not everything is so unipolar. I recommend to watch George Friedman's talk, a man who can hardly be called pro-Russian, but who predicted this conflict: [VIDEO]

I thought George Friedman had some interesting perspectives on the Greece, Germany and the dept crisis. In this video [0], Friedman explains that keeping all countries in the Euro is very important for the German economy (export + welfare state). And it seems the Greece government uses this knowledge in their negotiations with the EU. --- [0] [VIDEO]

I assume, you are reffering to this: [VIDEO] Chilling insight into foreign policy of a superpower (an euphemism for "empire"). Not that he says something new (if you've read Carroll Quigley), but still... it's a fresh proof from the founder of the "Shadow CIA".
