  1. People talk about who's winning, and from where I sit, Russia's been winning from the very beginning. They engaged with the threat, as they saw it, with an over-arching mandate and intention to eliminate a growing threat on their border, and end ethnic cleansing operations in Eastern and southern Ukraine. They won the demographic battle, years ago. I think the entirety of captured territories would be thrilled to be out from under Ukrainian oligarchs and free of ethnic discrimination. I can see Kiev's point of view, but they haven't made a very good case for being steward's of the people's interests. Certainly from a nation-state perspective, they are correct in believing nationhood hinges on one culture and one language. I just wish the U$A were truly about self-determination. You're not supposed to speak ill of the Union cause during the Civil War because of slavery, but maybe the world would be a better place if states were permitted to - even made to - secede when they do not wish to endure under the U.$. Constitution. I think the $outh would've been forced to come around on slavery in another 5 to 10 years, quite peaceably. The British still owned the seas and they outlawed slavery. Bringing native-born African slaves across the Atlantic was already a thing of the past. The moral argument was all on the side of true followers of Christ, and both North and $outh were Christian. $lavery was on the way out. Anybody who tried to be a good Christian and a good American was going to be against slavery, when they looked into their hearts. It would've been so much better to see the slaves be educated by their prison wardens. Everyone that got any opportunity slurped it up and became outstanding citizens. It could've been so much better than war and "Reconstruction." I think much better provision could've been made for emancipated slaves, and the war was tough on poor whites, as well. I think "40 acres and a mule" sure would've made sense, but we wasted so many resources and lives on killing each other... LOL! $orry, guys. What I'm trying to get at is maybe we'd already have a global government, along strict U.$. Constitutional lines, with countries applying for membership. If only they'd kept the government truly limited, as intended. But even Madison tried to start a war with Canada, for chunks of Canada. If they'd followed their own beautiful words in the Declaration and Constitution, we would never have gotten into any wars but those defending our national soil. With our limited-government model drawing all the best minds from around the world, we could be so much greater than we are. Just follow our own words, and there's no Perry in Tokyo Harbor. There's no $panish-American War. It would be "The Umpteenth War in Europe" rather than World War I, and maybe there wouldn't've been a World War II.
