There's always money for war.
Yes, because the current prospect of war is clearly some Tory cloak and dagger attempt to earn money rather than, say, because a degenerate psychopath, rotted with Marxism and bolstered by oligarchs, is murdering our allies while pointing nuclear weapons at us. Honest to goodness, you don't have to be Schopenhauer but a little checking of kumbaya premises...
Whats the rest of the world like from outside this perspective?
Incrementally, North Western Europe (Britain, Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia) is being prepared for war with Russia.
There have been recent "break it to them softly" attempts by the armed forces of these countries (

), where it has been suggested that citizens may need to be called up or, at least, prepared for war. These governments attempt to maintain the status quo (mostly because they're uber-rich and they, especially Britain and Germany, cling to the fading vision of Neo-Liberal economics/business interests) but there is an increasing realisation that the late 20th century is finally over and we must re-militarise. Britain is a nuclear power and the Netherlands and Scandinavia have strong land armies but Germany has been lamentably cautious about rebuilding a military culture. Thank Donar, that has ended.
As much as Neo-Liberals are racking their brains with questions about why everyone won't just hold hands and sing "We Are The World", to anyone who knows anything about Russian history, a large scale conflict between the West and Russia has been inevitable since 1917 when Russians murdered their own ruling, Western element and gave free reign to deep seated hatred and envy of the West, especially of those "decadent" countries now preparing for war. Although people get very upset about it, it's worth remembering that today Russia could have been a German-speaking nature reserve but, in their infinite wisdom, the leaders of Britain, France and America (all of whom were Freemasons interestingly enough) prevented Hitler from reclaiming historically German lands so that Stalin could take half-the-continent instead. The hope that the collapse of the Soviet Union would put an end to tension, didn't contend with the collective Chip on the Shoulder with which Russia views the West, whose advances could no longer be hidden from Russians after the fall of the Berlin wall.
The West doesn't understand that, for many Russians, Putin is seen as a figure to restore national dignity after the "humiliation" of the collapse of Communism. Despite presenting itself as an "Orthodox vanguard", Russia has a remarkable inability to contend with its historical atrocities against the Orthodox Church. I suppose playing "what about your crimes" and shrieking at rainbow flags is easier than asking whether grandpapa raped nuns during the 1940s. This fragmentation extends to religious doctrine itself where a figure like Dugin can hold half-baked and extremely contradictory metaphysical views while being upheld as a "great mind" (sadly, more than a few easily impressed, useful idiots in the West participate in this too). There's a further fragmentation in the blind eye which is turned to Putin's state acting as a proxy for kleptocracy. However, in fairness to Russians, it's perhaps difficult to keep an eye on kleptocrats when
I live between England and Bavaria and I'm of an age where I could be called up in either country. This doesn't phase me and neither does the prospect of war generally. In the first instance, conscription will rid this part of the world of all third world "refugees" who don't genuinely love these countries. In the second instance, it will toughen up the people of these lands who have allowed themselves to be distracted by a pseudo-culture that really has no roots here. In the third, it will deepen ties between the historically kindred people of North Western Europe. Fourth, it will deal with an enemy that's not going to stop until it is stopped.
If the status quo is maintained it's the slow, gradual death of us anyway so there is nothing to lose and wonders to gain. Cry havoc!
