I've been away from the computer for some time, but I can always return to the timeless topic of what for me is, to follow the truth.
The West charges Putin with his responsibility that the East-Ukrainians still function. In my view the Easterners are fighting because they knew what would happen to them and had time to prepare themselves. What are their chances of success? Natural conditions are of the utmost importance; you need mountains like Switzerland, extensive territories to go back and forth like Russia... I don't know too much about the East Ukrainian geography.
Serbia now seems forgotten in history like a chronically-ill patient by medicine. For me big changes are not expected. The world has discovered a new weak, bad guy, and who forgets such characters in the Darwinian universe? Who forgot the Jews? The biblical Jews were warriors and who falls down from such a category is never forgiven because contempt is the sister of hatred. That's what the Darwinian universe is all about.
The Serbs were the eagles of the hills. They were known for their bravery and their sense of honor but their athletic bodies were and are covered by a super-sensitive skin - they knew their value and they trusted themselves. And they now find themselves accused of the worst. They are not made for the real politics. Today the former enemies are the best friends, and Serbia pays the bill. Do they have a future? I don't know, but the Serbs will never be the same. Their only chance is to be as arrogant as their enemies. But too late for them, it will never happen.
The Jews? They never had a future, only a present that ended badly. Maybe in the diaspora condition the word “self – defense” has never been part of their vocabulary. Israel, because of a super-patriot, lost the chance of peace with the Arabs. Eternal victors is what they hope to remain? Where are their mountains, extended territories for strategical replys and advances? Well-armed should be enough? Who will not be such sooner or later?
