La purge des généraux expérimentés
Sometimes the foreign language expresses English better than the English language. That happens to be true in the case of the contrived title posted above. It isn’t the title that’s contrived, it’s the language of its presentation. La Langue contrivee or something like that I suppose would be the translation.
What do Russia, China, Ukraine and America have in common in their military? They have all purged their upper military leadership. The fact that they call wear stars on their shoulders is sort of a quirk of ambiguity for which there is no decent explanation.
I don’t know what it all means, although I suspect that if any of the readers were to use these facts to query any AI and ask for historical precedent it would probably be something ominous. Without looking, I am willing to bet that Generals were purged before major World Wars simply because these men and women (although historically mainly men, there are now women in the top ranks especially in the US military) were willing to defy civilian leadership that wanted those wars. Loyalty too was problematic, some soldiers were more loyal to the military leaders rather than the civilian leadership.
The fact that I haven’t seen any major news media article putting all of these events in 4 different countries: three of whom are the largest nuclear adversaries is by itself incredibly astounding. And Ukrainian shot a Russian General in charge of their nukes. When the media chooses to skip trying to scare people, that’s usually a red flag of sorts. As usual, the question I ask, is: Who benefits by not discussing these events? That’s just how I have been trained. There may be no deeper or darker conspiracy at play. It could simply be a case of “oh we hadn’t put it all together” because to assert that there is a worldwide media conspiracy sounds blatantly silly. Asserting something of the sort tends to sound crazy.
Speaking of the loonie, Trump’s trade war ought to have some sort of beneficial effect on it at some point. The loonie has over the long term been weaker against the USD, so Canadians for all their bluster for the most part welcome Americans who go there to spend. It costs 1.37 Canadian dollars to buy 1 US dollar.
Oil has once again - on the American trading bourses - not where oil is actually bought and sold - returned to the 100 dollars per barrel neighborhood. The price of diesel is now at yet another record: There are no significant movements that we have noticed in America towards moving into cleaner forms of energy.
