and proceed to conquer and dominate all other authoritarian governments on Earth?
Enforcing a hard money, decentralized banking, capitalist / democratically duly elected societies in all corners of man?
Putin is a reasonable man, and ultimately I believe he wanted to keep his country out of the hands of the corrupt
Consider the scale of firepower / Western tech we are discussing
I think I have come to the conclusion that this is the true plan and would like to know if other anons have arrived to a similar point.
I don't think so.
Communists/Socialists in the modern context have been building this operation for over 100 years. Thousands of years if you consider collectivism in general. They are experts at it. Not only is the west (or whatever is left of it) far behind in these tactics, they are philosophically incompatible.
You mention "enforcing" and "capitalism" in the same sentence. These ideas are not compatible. Capitalism is by definition voluntary and absent of coercion. If you are forced to use "hard money" and "decentralized banking" you are not a capitalist society. You will eventually end up where we are now, as the institutions that force peope to do things will be corrupted by communist infiltration. Turning that instrument of force from enabling things like "hard money" to forcing people to, oh I don't know, take a vaccine against their will perhaps?
In MY opinion. Collectivism is like the Flood in Halo. The only way to eliminate the virus is to destroy its food source. I.e. you can't have a centralized monopoly on the use of force in the first place (i.e. no government).
I think this is what the founding fathers intended with concepts like the second amendment. It was designed to decentralize the use of force. I just don't think they took it far enough.
I am almost trying to say this, enforcing the ideas of the Founding Fathers upon the whole world (or as much of it) at once. Surely the taste of true liberty worldwide would be a renaissance if enough of the bad actors are uprooted (which seems to be the case).
What happens past this momentary enforcement is anyones guess, but I hope it would essentially Westernise as much of the world as possible, and rekindle honest democracy? When you think about it, much of the rest of the world has emulated the West in some way, and to think that Allied nations would aid their full transition through potential partnership, anything is possible
Really, what nations stand a chance to a truly Allied West apart from NK and China?
