For the day that's in it.
Yea it's hard to miss all the B.S. from the U.S. these day's, so I have to start with it. For decades questions have been asked how could the people of Germany leading up to WW 2 let things happen; And for decades it's been explained. It's the same things that 'make' people, that made Americans' today, vote for who they voted for. Out of personal ideology, beliefs and political need, out of personal need and for practical survival to put food on the table. Nuance and reason, fear and hate. The unfortunate thing for the rest of the world is that the U.S. internal national needs have a very real and much broader global impact that is not considered in the local ballot box. Vote a local idiot to a school board is one thing, vote a Trump in and well, it's happening now. Second time worse than the last for all involved and a whole lot more. Because he, 'the party' and their backers have learned from the first time round. This time round worse than the last regarding a president that is not for all citizens, but for specific citizens, very specific citizens. Getting more specific by the week. Again, very local becomes very global. Shouldn't at least half the population be more agitated..... Vocal. There are hints of that, meetings and uproar. As well as that uproar being escorted out by force. That speaks even more volumes of history and should cause more concern from the 'Free Speech' nation. Being escorted out for trespass rather than breach of peace says a lot more. What next to go, the right to assemble. So many angry people support Trump, who has it all, the Presidency, House and Senate. But it's still all the Dems fault, the left and whatever talking point can be blamed that's still the problem. Books, Biden...... Canadians...... Where's all the miraculous day one fixes, delayed, delayed again due to, the left, pronouns, laws, protocol? As the quote goes "The problem with living outside the law is that you no longer have its protection."...... And trump is? Both law and lawless..... At home and abroad.
Good will, alliances and trust, all being shát on. The more this goes on the worse any kind of recovery will be and how long that will take(if at all). Third term? But of course that won't happen, will it..... Will it!?
Nobody wants to be Russia's neighbor as Russia wants to force it's neighbors into being Russia. Satellite states with no free will. Controlled politically by force. The 2014 revolution in Ukraine was a hard thing for Russia to swallow. People rising up. Russian proxy's not able to stop it. Not the first, not the last. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_Dignity. A Revolution for America to follow soon enough? Not a bloodless revolution; But given the U.S. excessive force as being gun central, anything started peacefully has a high chance of not ending that way(how many cop body cam's prove that). Trump and Jan 6th say enough in that regard as well. Who can say how that would turn out again or in reverse(a crowed marching on Trump). Anyway, it's no wonder Russia threw a hissy fit and went to annex Crimea, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation. Not that Russia hasn't been directly and/or indirectly messing with Ukraine and other states, Moldova, Belarus, etc etc etc for years.
I mean what could possibly be 'forcing' countries to join a mutual defense organization? Well it's not the peaceful intentions of Russia!! Russia very much in need of a 'are we the baddies' moment; But those in power don't care about populations, only holding power and getting more.
With the invasion now 3 years on I've been reminded of some of the footage from 'back then' worth a share:

So 3 years later and after re-watching those clips I'm reminded of both the engineer and the island; And so much since.
The documentary from the AP reporters as it happened is a must watch. It is as it happened. They were the ones there and the ones giving all the footage to every news agency.
This is now...
