Protect them from what? Why do we need to arm more and more people? Couldn't those resources if used to build peaceful relations, do more to serve the peace and prosperity of everyone
There is an Idea that the whole world has been divided against itself, and everyone is holding everyone else hostage. This is a false projection built upon the zeitgeist perpetrated by the powers that be. From a worldly view I agree with Tyler that the EU and the US, operatives involved are acting irrationally, and possibly insane. A big problem is that there is no recourse for the Billionaire financiers or the war hawk Senators who are engaged in escalating the situation.
Do the American people, or the citizens of EU nations really agree that its a good Idea to spend Billions, in order to overthrow a government of 40,000,000 people. Is it wise to send weapons into a mad house? Do the Russian people want to have to be responsible for fighting over their interest in the Ukraine? Do the Ukrainian people want two super powers sending in billions of dollars in bribe money and weapons, that will be used to corrupt its officials and kill its people?
No! Id say most people could agree that the issue is not about what is being perpetrated by the media and the super powers themselves. The issue is Tyranny.... Tyranny besets from all sides, and as soon as you chose to side with one faction or another, you give the tyrants their authority over issues that would be best handled on the local level, by the local people, peacefully. This is what tyranny looks like in our age.... money and power knows no boundaries and is loyal to no nation. Nations like corporations are not PEOPLE, yet if we view them as such, they take on a life of their own.
Russia's government is not the Russian people, American government is not the American people, and the EU is not the European people. What these organizations are ,primarily reflects the interest of the oligarchs and elite that use the structure of national governments as strong holds by which to tyrannize the world, often to the determent of peace and prosperity for the average person in provincial areas . From the safety of their pleasure places the wealthy work with the corruptible leaders nations and use billions of dollars of other peoples money, along with the armies of the poor and economically enslaved, for their own selfish ends.
If the same money and resources that go into tyrannizing and economic empire building, were instead dedicated to developing energy and resource sustainability and independence, for the different regions of the world, then there would be no reason for such conflict and strife, like what is being projected upon us, on the global scale by the powers that be.
Perhaps I overestimate how the goodness in human nature can thrive without the presence of strong authority to keep it in line. We the people of earth may indeed need the Men In Black in order to keep a handle on things.
