The aristocracy, the intelligentsia, Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

What do they all have in common?

Each lived "above it all" and expected the grift to continue, keeping them in the style they had grown accustomed to.

Why should this round be any different?

Starmers only way back from the depths of hatred and poor showing in the polls as the most reviled PM Britain has ever had the misfortune to be leading our nation, is to start a war. The legacy media understand this and are whipping up a wartime footing. If he starts a war I see the nation tearing Westminster to the ground.

Here's a better analogy which fits the situation. People pass by a schoolyard where women are being raped and their daughters are being kidnapped. The men defending them have all been killed due to being overwhelmed. Mariupol. People pass by saying someone should do something. People still resisting scream you promised to help. We surrendered our weapons because you promised to defend us. BUDAPEST ACCORDS!!!!!!

Time goes on and in other schoolyards in the country invaded by rapists and kidnappers and murderers a great heroic resistance is summoned up. The aggressors shout across the borders you are next, but still no one comes to their aid as their men of heroic nature continue to slowly be killed off. Now here's the irony, the headlines change, the dialog has been twisted by the cowards who tremble, no you started this, its not our fault. And we dont want to start WW3.

No matter how you frame it WW3 has already started. It can be nipped in the bud now with a stiff backbone. Either enter the fray now or wait til the rapist and kidnappers and muderers are at your door.

I don't lie. Mariopul reports were of rapists and kidnappers and murderers. The children were kidnapped by Chechens NY Times, where are those girl children now. The defenders of Mariopol were castrated by bolt cutters. Bucha was a plain and simple kill everyone in sight. And they're coming for Moldova and Poland next. No one wants this but Putin, but its coming for the rest of Europe regardless. And to develop new weapons for 2030 is way too late.

Be assured that when some invades a schoolyard and kills and raped, they sre the aggressors no matter the lies you tell your cowardly self.

To quote the Neville Brothers

“I learned to hate the Russians all through my whole life

If another war comes, it’s them we must fight

They show us a new face of hatred over and over”

And then Sting

“I hope the Russians love their children too”

Are the bloodthirsty really so desperate to be rid of future pensioners? What are they not admitting to about the pension sector?

Have they sold the pension debt to China or some other body?

Starmers determination in regard to the never-ending war in Ukraine is a crime.
