Throughout my life, what I have noticed is that Republicans define patriotism mainly in terms of opposing foreign enemies. This was most pronounced during the long cold war with the Soviet Union. It is certainly true that we should be on guard against foreign enemies, but we must not be so on guard to create enemies where there are none or refuse to defuse tensions and replace hostile relations with cooperative ones as President John F. Kennedy once did. Kennedy said he intended to do so before he was assassinated and as President Trump intended to do so before the Russia accusation prevented him.

The Biden regime's Secretary of state, Blinken, has blocked talks between Russia and Ukraine, saying the goal of US policy is to drive Russia out of its reclaimed territories, including Crimea.
Biden's statement that the U.S. will use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear threats, as well as the knowledge that U.S. nuclear weapons are deployed near Russia, force Putin to drop his promise not to use nuclear weapons first.
In other words, unlike the Cold War at 20. for centuries, today there is a trigger for nuclear war. People who say nuclear war is impossible because there would be no winner don't know what they're talking about. Wars are the product of people, and people are emotional and stupid. They're making too many mistakes. That's how people work.
In the USA 8. in November, elections are held for the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. Most American voters consider this election extremely important for the future of the country. The elections are held halfway through President Biden's term, whose popularity is very low. In large part, by voting in the upcoming elections, voters will assess President Biden's previous work, which represents the politics of the Democratic Party. Society in America is polarized, and the atmosphere is quite tense due to Great Discontent. According to Reuters and Ipsos surveys in August this year, as many as 69% of Americans think the state is going in the wrong direction. First of all, Americans are unhappy with the economic situation, which is problematic in terms of high inflation, which continues to grow, resulting in high prices of energy and food. On the other hand, the US central bank (Federal Reserve) is constantly raising interest rates, making it difficult to buy homes, cars and other goods. President Biden failed to improve the economic situation after the pandemic, which was one of the election promises. This factor may play a decisive role in how voters will vote.
Reborn Russia
After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, Russia and Russian studies including Russian language, culture and history became for a long time not very popular fields of study as well as occupations in the West compared to the Cold War (1949).−1989. G). The reason for this trend was the deep belief in the West that it simply "ended" with Russia as a great power after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the disappearance of both the USSR (Soviet Russia) and the Warsaw Pact. However, geopolitical strategists in the West and primarily in NATO and the Pentagon have overlooked one thing: the Soviet Union has disappeared, but not Russia itself, which has been since 2000.- and experienced a constant military-political and economic-financial renaissance after the disastrous years (decade) of Boris Yeltsin's rule and his Euro-Atlantic liberals.

"Terrorists will not stop us," said US President Joe Biden of the White House after a series of explosions caused bloodshed at Kabul airport. Among the dead were thirteen American soldiers.

After a time distance of over half a year from my texts on this site, "one look at 2021. year " from December 2020. and " the grim and ominous winter of 2021. "in March of this year, I thought it was time for a new cross-section and a summary of the current predictions of economic and political developments, both world and ours. The order of topics covered has been partially corrected, and the latest cross-section of the economies of the non-Western world, primarily Russia and China, is now given within the first chapter. In general, on a significant scale, the predictions proved to be accurate and realistic, except obviously the pace and dynamics of certain economic and political developments and events in the world and in our country, but certainly, on a predominantly large scale, it was conditioned by the prolonged effect of the ongoing pandemic, the movement of which is almost impossible to predict. All odds are that the announced tectonic earthquake dynamics will only prolong within a year of the forecast, i.e. spring and summer 2022., with a completely unclear timeline, perhaps, in some forms, and until the year 2025. What is certain, these tectonic changes will change the existing world beyond recognition, bringing a completely new constellation of World Economic and political power, which will certainly reflect on the Balkans and Serbia itself.
