03/11/22 Ukraine, Crypto, and Gas.
Hello, yes I return to this blog once more to share my thoughts on the current Sociopolitical climate in today’s world. Boy, did a lot occur in between since when I last wrote and now. I really have no sufficient reason as to why I haven’t been online writing as I simply just made no effort to either make content or update. I should mention I began running my first DnD campaign among my closest friends recently and I’ve been obsessed over that. Who knows how good it will go, perhaps someday I could sell it as a module considering the added mechanics I threw in it. I digress, let’s talk about all the happenings in the current world! The biggest and most controversial event, probably for the year already, is the escalated conflict turned into full out war of Russia invading Ukraine. Now if you’re following me on Instagram. (If you’re not, too bad I’m not sharing it.) You’d understand my specific position on this matter. Of course, I think I speak for everyone when I say being a warmonger is nothing but asking to be publicly shunned. You’re literally the retard of the group who provides nothing but a horrible take on the world. Please see a Psychologist.
Now why is Russia invading Ukraine? Well there’s a lot of reasons as to why this is the scenario, but I think the main one is space. Yeah, it’s literally space. The thing that most people don’t comprehend regarding “The Cold War” is it just didn’t disappear over night. If systemic racism and slavery is still relevant to bring up in a conversation about socioeconomic issues, you can bet for damn sure the Cold War and nuclear arms is also on the table on this discussion in particular. Russia is going for Ukraine now due to NATO’s quiet but growing expansion and poor leadership in the hands of the United States. Russia isn’t merely going after Ukraine as a means for expansion, Putin isn’t an idiot in that regard at all. But rather he’s trying to reinstitute the space between the West and Russia. For decades now, NATO has been slowly but surely reaching closer to Russia and with where Ukraine is at now on the global stage, it’s an important strategic point. It was always meant to be a sovereign state primarily for it’s location. More and more, NATO along with the United States have been sowing the seeds of this conflict quite passive aggressively and it’s complete malarkey that this fact is flying over people’s heads!
Look at it like this: Imagine if Chinese Warships were allowed just off the coast of California armed to the teeth. How peacefully could you sleep at night? Probably not well, unless you yourself are a warmonger in hopes to start a conflict. It’s pressure. And Russia is faced with that pressure on a Nuclear level. The only reason why he hadn’t invaded sooner is for two reasons: The Pandemic and the last sitting President Donald Trump. Trump pushed MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) to a whole other level in multiple instances with Putin, you can find how far he went in threatening Putin directly in a few interviews regarding Ukraine. Then the Pandemic of course slowing everyone down economically and healthily globally, but I would say the predominant reason was still Trump. We’re just entering in this new year and Putin finally decided on this now. It isn’t coincidence too considering the failure that was the “Biden Pull Out” of Afghanistan, he probably figured he could walk in and invade Ukraine with no opposition.
And that’s where we come back to gas prices. So, the West’s idea of attack on Russia is the shutdown of all western business, money, services, etc. Russia doesn’t care. Russia doesn’t care because it’s literally the biggest suppliers of Gas and Wheat across the world. while their currency with Russia is losing value, they’re still raking in bank from other parts of the world with their vast other resources because Fossil Fuels and Wheat is the true Russian currency. Yes, the world is definitely facing a wheat issue across the globe too. Let that sit in your imagination. The current gas prices you see here in the United States is a product of “trying to hurt Russia”, but mainly from a poor administration that is forcing people to “change” (even though technologically and economically we are in no position to go green anytime soon especially as a nation.) leading to these staggeringly high prices that hurt consumers and businesses alike across the states. Our country already became energy dependent when Biden took office only for us to grow even more energy dependent with cutting our ties with Russia. We have no game plan for this energy crisis as I speak.
But, do you know what Biden did take swift action on? That’s right, more plans on regulating consumer assets! Yes, instead of tackling this energy crisis he laid out more plans on regulations on crypto currency. Currently he’s made an executive order to direct agencies to study on regulating cryptocurrencies. Causing a plummet for most holding on any coins at the moment. And this is where were at folks. Americans and Russians; but most of all and sadly the Ukrainian population are nothing less than pawns in the bigger games of world politics between these “leaders” whether one’s incompetent or another is aggressive. The only people paying not just in money but blood are the citizens of these nations.
While I seem ambivalent on the issue, I for one support Ukraine’s sovereignty and hope they prevail in this invasion where it does not cost anymore lives. Ukraine is a culture and people that need everything they can in the face of a war machine like Russia. My remaining thoughts on the matter is this doesn’t get out of hand more than it already has and I pray this doesn’t lead towards the path of WW3. God Bless the Ukrainian people in this endeavor.
