“We Americans Do Not Understand Central And Eastern Europe. Period. The End.”

 

WNU Editor: Eric Weinstein is saying some uncomfortable truths. In the last 20 seconds of the interview he is spot on.

All you have to know is that Central Europe was the usual hot spot for wars spanning centuries. What a mix of loyalties.

Joe Rogan causes a stir as he slams the US national animal - calling the bald eagle a 'f***ing soulless, evil creature'

Joe Rogan has kind of the same disease or syndrome as Alex Jones or Michael O'Hare. It is in the same complex. So the diagnosis won't be quite the same. Plus Rogan has been infected with wokeness. We all have.

The eagle (some even double headed eagles) have been symbol of many countries or organizations for the last 2,000 years or longer and here comes Joe Rogan. Wow! He picks a fight against tradition as old or almost as old as the human race. Maybe for his next trick Joe will transition.

So WNU selectively trots out Joe Rogan. How sweet. Maybe WNU is thinking of transitioning alongside Joe Rogan.

Hey Rimmer..whenever it comes to a country,. there are legions of experts who say Americans do not no shit about country X. Maybe the so called experts should just list the countries we do know it would be a list of 3 to 10 countries. Heck, guy have a foreign policy or a State department, if all we know about is Canada and Mexico?

I question Joe Rogan's judgment, when he went after the American eagle. that struck me as just bent. If Joe Rogan is bent, what about his guests? Just because a host is bent, does not mean a guest is bent, but it does beg the question.

There are so many ways of going about this starting with 30 or 40 million people emigrated from Central or Eastern Europe in the last 140 years. So some of us know something about it.

Maybe we should get a comprehensive survey of what people of various socio-economic backgrounds, the political class, urinalists, college educated, etc of each country know about every other country. I am sick of some exspurt declaring Americans do not not shit about country X.

The average American or citizen of any other country does not make foreign policy. Nor do they elect those that do.

Listening to that expert is not better than grabbing a copy in the checkout lane and reading cosmopolitan. although that might work for you and Sam Britton.

Well isn't that just special. Just because you don't like what the other guy says , you get nasty and have a tantrum.

All WNU's post was:

Expert said "It is hopeless give up on Ukraine."

Expert BTW claim to fame is being decent enough at upper level physics to get a PhD. That of course is enough to make him an all around expert.

But says expert Weinstein likes the fluid borders argument, why not have the border of Russia extend to no more that a 50 mile radius around Red Square.

Fluidity don't you know!

This information here is good for you to read. Why? because otherwise you would be stuck in that echo chamber you live in and hear the same thing. Ukraine good Russia bad. Or vice a versa.

If you took everything with a eye towards criticality, you just might learn something

And for Mr. 10:42 ' I agree with the rest of the blog.

Question. Were you born a jerk or did you just work at it all you life?
