I am talking more in a general way. But if I had to isolate The Russia - Ukraine conflict I have already resigned to the fact that more people from Ukraine (Seniors this time) will flow westwards, that Poland will get annihilated and that we will end up fighting the Russians(and allies) in German streets. Will this play out exactly as I have written it, who knows. But because these &quot;leaders&quot; are half committed mumbling incompetent short sighted group of vacuous people Incapable of properly committing to established goals even if they are wrong. That is the scenario that my gut feeling is pushing to me.]]></description>

Kaz &quot;On one hand they are putting in show of committment to a certain goal, but at the same time they are tip-toeing around as to not accomplish anything.&quot; 

Is this a reference to settling the conflict between Russia and Ukraine? If so, it&#039;s clear to me that is on big dog and pony show- 
The US doesn&#039;t want it settled. The EU doesn&#039;t want it settled.
They want Russia&#039;s stolen assets. The US wants to be chief looter at the expense of both the EU and Russia. They both want to plunder resources- The US in particular wants resources to prop up a badly faltering economy and empire

Russia sees no real intent to settle, because if I can&#039;t see it, on the limited info I can access they can&#039;t either..  No one is talking to Russia- I don&#039;t believe Kushner and Witkoff went to Moscow with any legit goals or intent. They are just putting on the show. And the war will go on. It must go on for Russia.

I&#039;ve covered much conflict over the years- having two nuclear powers involved as deeply as they both are is worrying]]></description>

Hi Penny,

quoting from wordhistories &quot;With allusion to the jumbled nature of a pig’s meal, the colloquial phrase pig’s breakfast designates a mess, a muddle; something unattractive or unappetising.&quot;

Geopolitics has also been a keen interest for me, but its hard to watch when its just a sub par performance. On one hand they are putting in show of committent to a certain goal, but at the same time they are tip-toeing around as to not accomplish anything. And thus making it one big &quot;pig&#039;s breakfast&quot; in my eyes. 

As to your gut feeling, I have a similar feeling. But the reason why things became this far is due to a simple observation. In the history of mankind there were always those who were sacrificed for other&#039;s ambitions and people just let it happen due to a compelling story. And to believe that we as humankind have outgrown this is vulgar performance is ignorance. 

Naïve People are the biggest threat to the continuation of human civilization as a Free people. They are as bad or worse then oppressor&#039;s.

Now on something else, If the &quot;AI&quot; thing is still vague for you. I would recommend a Youtube channel &quot;Internet of bugs&quot;. Its latest video &quot;Your Favorite Science YouTubers Are Wrong About AI&quot; is good start.]]></description>

Hey Kaz!!
I&#039;m not exactly sure what you mean by political relations to one big pigs breakfast?

I get the more important things to focus on. As you probably know this geopolitics has always been my interest. And it&#039;s been a nice distraction/alternative focus from all that&#039;s gone on for me and my family personally this year. That said, if push came to shove.. would I keep doing this? I don&#039;t know.
 I feel, just a gut feeling, there&#039;s a feeling of disquiet about. I feel as if 2026 is going to be a difficult year, globally. Sort of like the &quot;pandemic&quot; with the fear mongering and restrictions- Also the financial problems, possibly worse this time, the expansion of the monetary resources is going to drive inflation- And then the prospect of ever broadening war...
Glad to know your still reading here and will stop by when the mood strikes :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Penny,

Lately I have distanced myself from processing all these news too deeply, I do give a fast read but not more then that. They have reduced politics relations etcetera to one big pig&#039;s breakfast. Any news I get on anything lately has been reduced to this simple phrase. &quot;Another item to the pig&#039;s breakfast, got it&quot;. I have more important things to focus on, if the world around me collapses and its becomes something tangible on which I can pull and push on, than that is when I will act. That is how I feel about all this atm.]]></description>
