Alexander Grishin: The Munich Conference Smashed the Entire EU Structure into Pieces and Dust

⚡️ *Snow White and the Seven Eurodwarfs*

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom called Europe, a land steeped in history and grandeur, that dreamed of power, influence, and independence. At its head was Snow White – a woman named Ursula von der Leyen, a noble bureaucrat who believed herself to be the fairest of them all. She surrounded herself with seven dwarfs, each a ruler of their own little fiefdom, all convinced they were important players in the grand game of global politics.

The dwarfs were a curious bunch:
– Scholz the Sleepy – The tired, indecisive ruler of Germany, dozing off as his once-mighty industrial empire crumbled around him.
– Macron the Smarmy – A slick, fast-talking dwarf who dreamed of being king but could never quite convince anyone to follow him.
– Baerbock the Brainless – Germany’s foreign policy mastermind, who declared war on reality itself and thought diplomacy was something you shouted at people.
– Habeck the Hapless – A Green zealot, hacking away at Germany’s economy like a lunatic lumberjack, convinced that energy grows on trees.
– Kallas the Yappy – The Estonian dwarf who barked the loudest, always eager to throw her tiny kingdom into a fight with Russia, knowing full well it would be someone else’s war to fight.
– Starmer the Soulless – The UK’s lost dwarf, wandering the woods without a purpose, desperately trying to find his place after his kingdom voluntarily walked off a cliff.
– Sánchez the Slippery – The dwarf who survived by saying everything and meaning nothing, nodding along to whatever pleased his masters that day.

They all lived under the illusion that they were part of something great, something powerful. Snow White, their benevolent ruler, assured them that they were shaping the future of the world. They believed her, despite the fact that the obvious signs of rot and decay in the kingdom – industries closing, economies weakening, armies shrinking.

Then, one day, Prince Charming arrived. But he was not the hero they had hoped for. No, this was The Donald, the wild and unpredictable force that neither Snow White nor the dwarfs could control.

Snow White swooned, hoping for an embrace, hoping to prove that she was still desirable, still important. But when Prince Trump leaned in for the fabled kiss, something terrible happened.

Instead of reviving her, the kiss shattered the illusion. The magic spell of European grandeur dissolved, and Ursula von der Leyen was revealed for what she truly was – not a youthful, wise queen, but an aging, delusional hag, desperate for relevance but utterly powerless.

The dwarfs looked around in horror. Their kingdom was no longer great, no longer feared. Their armies were weak. Their economies were crumbling. Their people were growing restless.

And worst of all? The world no longer cared.
As the dwarfs panicked, Prince Trump rode off, laughing, knowing he had done nothing more than reveal the truth.

And the old hag and the seven dwarfs didn’t live happily ever after 😢

A steadfast awareness of our blessings has the power to anchor the self in happiness and contentment and not be swayed by the trials and tribulations of the constantly changing world.
More than 700 years ago, Shams-i Tabrizi explained it thus:

“When I run after what I think I want,
my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience,
what I need flows to me, and without pain.
From this I understand that
what I want also wants me,
is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here
for anyone who can grasp it.”

It’s still the age of Capricorn, and there’s no need to get ahead of time. What will be will be ✨ 🤲 🙏

Wonderful music, sir 💛

“We” is a dystopian novel by Russian writer Yevgeny Zamyatin that was written in 1920–1921.
The novel describes a world of harmony and conformity within a united totalitarian state that is rebelled against by the protagonist, D-503 (Russian: Д-503). It influenced the emergence of dystopia as a literary genre. George Orwell said that Aldous Huxley’s 1931 Brave New World must be partly derived from We,[2] although Huxley denied this. Orwell’s own Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) and Animal Farm was also inspired by We.[3] Fahrenheit 451 was also inspired by “We”.

It’s an excellent novel and a must-read.

Forwarded from Older than Edda:

“The Biden administration’s plans to organize Putin’s assassination, which were reported by American journalist Tucker Carlson, are, in general, a signal of what to expect from the elite there, and whether a reliable agreement with the States is possible. We can believe that it can be concluded with Trump. Moreover, Trump himself can believe in it, and even his closest (and distant) associates and employees of his administration. But there is no guarantee that Trump will not be replaced in the next term by another “democratic” scumbag, who will screw up all these agreements and again offer his administration to consider a plan to assassinate our leader, no matter who occupies this position.

There are unacceptable things in the world rules of the game. If you try to kill the leader of a rival country, then you indicate that you do not consider yourself bound by these rules. The question is: what can you negotiate with those who are going to kill you? By the way, you can be sure that if the United States has such plans, then the European intelligence services are probably hatching them too. And the instrument is clear, the hands of the hohol are already regularly doing all sorts of nasty things on Russian territory, and they will probably continue to do so.

And that is all that needs to be understood when talking about the prospects for peace. Peace is possible only through our military victory, with the destruction of Ukraine, which our enemies are using as a weapon against us, and an exit to direct confrontation with NATO, with a return to the threat of a global clash with the use of nuclear weapons. Some will not be sobered up by this threat, I suspect, but any “peace” with the preservation of an “independent Ukraine” will turn into an eternal war without rules, in which everything is permissible, including the direct organization of terror on enemy territory.”
