Rise and Fall of Civilizations

Rise of civilization is slow.
Fall of civilization is rapid.

Three causes
Famine

Diseases

War

Famine and diseases are close accompaniment of war.

Corruption is ingrained in war and follow suit before and after.

Ceylon is a classic example.
Lebanon is another good example.

Ukraine is the current epitome.

Its exodus predates current war.

Ukraine was and is a corrupt society.

That is why it was easy for CIA to infiltrate and establish USA hegemony.

Proxy war in Ukraine predates the inevitable collapse of the European Union.

Crack started with UK leaving it at the behest of USA.

By the way, with the rise of democratic party in USA diplomacy and foreign relationships had a nose dive.

While this is happening Russia changed its strategic alliance  (its wish was to stay put with EU).

China fearing Taiwan debacle is the closest ally of Russia.

India is as usual sitting on the fence.

Turkey is its reincarnation.
About turn with Russia and its shoddy deals with shipping companies is revealing its intentions.

No free meal for Turkey.

EU values are based on prosperity during peace time.
Moment when EU is on a war footing prosperity disappears.

More money for weapons means less for  common use for prosperity.

When this is coupled with high energy prices masses will start to protest.
Mass immigration adds to the misery.

First country to fall will be France.
No African countries to help the coffers.

Next country to fall is Germany along with Poland. They rely on NATO and soon NATO will demand contribution from them.

This was Donald Trump's theme.

He is the main advocate of "America First" doctrine.
I am in total agreement with Trump.

Why look after EU?

NATO invariably becomes a white elephant which America has to stomach.

UK is the next to collapse along with conservatives.

Ukraine War was a total liability.

Russia is the proud winners.
Its economy did not collapse but withstood the strain of war.

Zelensky is in panic mode.

More arms will not solve the current problem but total annihilation of Ukraine.

Russia did not want it but it was a gift from the West, mainly USA.

I do not think Russia will negotiate.

It will go for the total kill.
