Infinitely far off from God-realization. It only makes sense in retrospect, after some awakening. And even then, it still doesn't fully make sense to the logical mind. That's how radical it is. You just can't get to awakening through thinking about it or puzzling it out logically. If you could then all the intellectuals would be awake and understand God. Yet none of them do. -
The entire series of interviews is 4hr+ long. You have to buy it. The free clips don't do it justice. It's really insightful and REAL. No BS.

Oliver Stone's Putin Interviews are really good. Highly recommend watching them if you want to understand Putin & the Russian perspective. In the interviews Putin fully explains why he is so opposed to NATO. All you gotta do is listen to him with an open mind.

It's hard to see outside one's own worldview.

You have no idea the complexity involved here. You are looking at this issue like a child. Black and white.

I don't really see these psychologists as caring to understand the complexities of running a country like Russia, or the relativity of survival agendas. They are treating this issue like a psychological problem when really it is much more interesting and deeper than that. They are applying Western standards to the unique job of running a country like Russia. So, no, I don't take Western psychologists on this issue seriously. I don't trust that they understand Putin's frame of mind correctly, or that they even care to understand him. Understanding the leader of a country like Russia or China is an extremely nuanced matter which requires much deeper thinking than what psychologists are trained to do.

But... 1) They have to get elected first. Sanders didn't get elected. Part of the reason why is because he's not as pro-American as many Americans would want. Many Americans want to vote for an "America first" president. Most Americans aren't conscious or selfless enough to care about "true global equality." 2) Obama admits in his exit interview when he left office that his agenda was overpowered by the Washington military industrial complex agenda. He ended up following them, rather than them following him. The tail is wagging the dog. The US President is not a dictator. The deep state will push a President towards US global hegemony even if he doesn't want it. 3) Even if someone like Sanders wants world peace, he will still have pro-American biases and a pro-American worldview. You have to appreciate how deep our biases run. They are hard to become conscious of. Is Sanders really able to see Russia's security agenda? I doubt it.

I don't think so. All these American leaders are on board with advancing US hegemony around the world. And if they weren't they would be seen as traitorous, as Trump was seen when he kissed Putin's ass. You have to understand that US geopolitical strategy is not dictated by any one man. It comes from a very deep collective survival and group-think which permeates the entire US government and military defense complex. They are not even aware they are doing it. The American public votes for leaders who advance US hegemony because it aligns with American high standard of living. The US is advancing its interests. As is Russia, and every other country.

@hello1234 I have watched a lot of Putin interviews and speeches very carefully observing him. I have not see any signs of psychopathy.
-
About half way through this short clip Oliver Stone tells Putin that he does not see how Ukraine joining NATO poses any threat to Russia. And Putin gives his response, which is illuminating:
-
So now you understand why Putin had to attack Ukraine. He had to attack while he could, to secure his country's future. The best time to attack Ukraine is when there is deep peace and calm. So your country will be safe in the future. Your logic, not mine. I don't know. These are extremely complex matters. There are no simple answers. I know little about Norway.

Because that's what unlimitedness must be. All of its attributes stem from the fact that there is nothing outside of reality to limit reality. No, these attributes are Absolute. They don't just seem that way to "us" or to "humans". YOU ARE GOD. No Infinity is infinitely intelligent. So whatever you see is the result of an intelligence so high that it is literally the highest possible. It's happening as part of this dream you are dreaming. Have you never had a dream about a nuclear war? And then you wake up. -
How much do you know about Putin's personal mental life?
-
What Russian offenses triggered the expansion of NATO from the 90's through the 00's?

@hello1234 You know, right, that psychiatric evaluations are not be done of people remotely who you haven't even met in person? You are doing a psychiatric evaluation of a person from a different part of the world with a very unique job via the lens of Western media and your personal survival agenda.

I know I could buy my salt at the store, but I prefer to it get naturally from the tears of baby animals. It's more spiritual this way because it's more natural and done with their consent -
If Putin has a therapy session, the therapist will leave crying.

Another good video:

@Bow24 Of course China is going strong, but fundamentally it has huge problems with its political system and it is still much lower in overall Spiral development than the West. They have a lot of corruption and other problems. The West will remain more powerful for a long time to come.
-
@Cykaaaa If WW3 happens there won't be anyone left to look back.
-
I agree Ironically Putin's invasion will create a whole bunch of hard right Ukrainian nationalists and extremists. Putin created more nationalists in a week than were created since the fall of the USSR.
-
Don't be so sure about that. Russia and China are building an alliance to rival the West. Of course it won't be as powerful as the West, but it can still survive for a long time.
-
Thank God no one gave you any power. You sound more insane than Putin.
-
Again, this is relative. This is how it looks from the Western perspective. They fail in the long-term. But until then there's the matter of starting WW3. A catastrophic failure of Russia is not in the interest of the West.
-
Well, we call MAGA folk Neo-Nazis here sometimes. I generally agree with you there. The problem with Putin's justification is that pretty much every country has crazy hard right nationalists in it if you go looking for them. That does not justify an overthrown of their government. Hell, even Russia has hard right nationalists. Does that give NATO valid reason to depose Putin? Obviously not. Trump was supported by Neo-Nazis. Does that mean Russia can now invade the US? This logic is silly. Yes, that is Destiny's basic critique. He refuses to acknowledge that NATO is legit threat to Russia. I think this is too much of a Western perspective though. It's easy to not see NATO as a threat when you are deep within NATO and benefit from it. Economic security and military security are deeply linked. The threat to Russia is not merely a direct invasion of Moscow via Ukraine. The threat is more about who gets to control the world order and sets its rules in his own favor. Russia wants a significant role in the world order. You can't just boil down geo-political positioning to nukes. If that were true, why does the US have 100s of military bases around the world? Why does the US care about the Middle East or Taiwan?
