the signs are already there (JP Morgan circling 'rebuilding' efforts), but damn, when the full details start to come out and if/when the establishment becomes comfortable saying it was a mistake (ala Iraq), it will be shown just how much of a ratfuck this is.

Meanwhile the NHS crumbles more and more every day.

    Short of using nukes or the USA's level of depravity they showed in Vietnam and Korea, I don't think there is a win for Russia. And if Ukraine were to surrender that's when their leadership would get ousted and replaced with a "true patriot". Ukraine is basically just a method of funneling western government money to an international MIC. I really don't see a permanent shut off for that tap without revolution in the western world.

      Yeah, you raise a good point. I can see a point of diminishing returns for the MIC but a "reliable" customer that they can keep making money off of would be ideal for them. They do love their forever wars.
