When young, I had a tendency to see things in ``black or white`` but with age = life experiences all the knowledge acquired in many fields, I tend to see things in ``50 shades of grey``. That’s what happens to most peoples as years past except for the stubborn and-or the ignorant (…!)

Now regarding wars, dictators (and their psychological profile), peoples doing barbaric things to others yes psychiatry, psychology, social psychology have good explanations for it * (See referal to Boris Cyrulnik books at the end of this text). But… I am practical guy = and army invade your country under false motives (history is full of wars like this) kill this enemy soldier first then search explanations later!

Imperialism sucks! for past or present countrys like: USA, Britain, France, Russia, China, etc. = big powerful ``bully`` to other countrys. USA did a lot of bad things too…! like the stupid Irak war and a ``coup`` (year 1973), against a democratic elected socialist president in Chili, name Salvador Allende, leading to his replacement by a right-wing terrible dictator = name Pinochet and, under is regime, a lot of people in Chili were torture. So, story short, USA is far from being the ``defender of the widow and the orphan``…

For the actual war in Ukraine, some peoples the Russian propaganda and even some scholars like - Professor John Mearsheimer - a political analysts in USA, are claiming that the conflict in Ukraine is mainly the ``West fault`` because of NATO east expansion and the possibility that Ukraine join NATO so Russia didn’t had much choice but to react by invading Ukraine…!...

And don’t worry not a fan of the other extreme = the new religion of the far left ``multiculturalism`` and-or ``Wokisim`` and-or ``Cancel culture`` with their new ``hypersensitive and fanatics inquisitors`` who are trying hard to brainwash society… Ours Prime Minister Trudeau, a narcissistic and Woke to the bone, is a good example of this B.S.

Last words on ``Conspiracy theory`` = No problem and I also check to some but… I watch credible sources like for ex. Edward Snowden who got out of the N** with a usb key full of documents and the fact that he worked there so, yes credible source when he is talking about the level of spying by Gov. agency on ordinary citizen… Otherwise the source is not credible and its probably BS!

``Any statement or thing that is not factually verified is not fundamentally different from the nonsense of the madman on the street, so it is not credible at all. Smart people only believe things or statements that are factually verified`` Its good! but where do i got that last quote i don't remember lol
