Video tape were released by our media about the surrounding events and much was made headlines about their corrupt elections.  There has been heavy involvement between American agencies in support of this faction&#8217;s election.  All involvement is covert.  i.e. the american government has not claimed to support this side politically, but our government organizations&#8217; actions speak differently.  This faction&#8217;s religious leaning is a revitalization of Eastern Orthodox Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>my point?<\/p>\n<p>The Cold war was not too long ago.  With the dissassembling of the USSR, the belief is that there is no threat.  The reality still exists that nuclear warheads exist in large numbers within both governments.  Putin has recently been heard giving very coarse analyses of american involvement overseas, not surprising of course since it is the fashionable thing for a foreign\/non-american country to do these days.<\/p>\n<p>All of this information was obtained from a PBS newshow called the newshour.  I watched it a little bit ago.  My professor of anthropology told me not to long ago that we should keep an eye out for this part of the world because there is a religious background that might make it more then what it appears to be.  He has a tendency to boil down every conflict to a concern for religion.  He might have a point, but he also might be failing to recognize the cause.  It could be the fact that religion is caused by the same thing that causes war, individuality.  <\/p>\n<p>Mary and I were discussing the us -&gt; them complex shared by every culture in existence.  It hit me that this is simply a method of becoming individualized.  Once we define ourselves we automatically define what is not us.  It is common to use this understanding in creating immoral and moral actions.  Why are blacks slaves? &#8220;They&#8221; are not &#8220;us&#8221;.  objectification&#8230; this is all not new&#8230; but i thought it was interesting to re-evaluate the information about the Ukraine.  <\/p>\n<p>I keep getting swamped in quantum mechanics when i attempt to figure out if these guys are recognized as full of shit in the overall scheme of physics community or accepted as understood.  <\/p>\n<p>My current belief is like michael&#8217;s and others have said, they are credible in their field but their claims go far beyond their field&#8217;s expertese.  When they argue points they cannot prove by qualifing them with, &#8220;just imagine if&#8221; and &#8220;what if&#8221; you see it become blatant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>an interesting interpretation of the changing climate in the Ukraine.
