Amsterdam, Netherlands
Europe teeters on razor’s edge of meager harvest and dark winter. There is no question whether Europe will go over that edge. It will happen. Conditions are set. No turning back. This just happens to be the moment of phase change.
Fewer Ukrainian flags appear along these streets of Amsterdam than just a month ago. Maybe the crushing energy prices have caused the virtuous to make blankets from those flags.
Those of us who have resisted this war from the start have, of course, been called Putin-fans or whatever. Of course, those words come from the lips of mind-readers whose opinions are assigned to them, and they do not even know it.
For those who read much history and eventually get confused and even more confused over when this empire ended, and that empire began, and ended, and began, and Poland was huge, and this, and that…. The more you learn the more confused you can become. During some phases of study, a high level of confusion indicates hard, consistent study.
Europe — and the world — is experiencing a hyper-change. Ukraine and Kiev are, on a scale of things, a never-ending neighborhood squabble.
You can look at any area of the world, such as “China,” and see maps changing colors like this. The maps change shape as readily as clouds in the sky.
The video below provides some insight into how my mind sees this trivial war that adds to the demise of Europe as we know it. It’s all about conditions. Tides and waves and winds of war and peace.
Enlightening
Dumber than I thought possible from Michael Yon of all people.
The biggest European war since WWII with international law, continental security on the line.
Yon says no, just a squabble, nothing to see here.
