Delusional thinking is leading the world to disaster.

 NO REALISTIC OR OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS

HISTORICAL LESSONS AND COMMON SENSE REJECTED


There is a growing consensus that 2024 is going to be the year of reckoning in many ways. It is clear that much of the world is in a era of drastic transition and change. Much of this has been the result of delayed action in dealing with realities that are obvious to any objective viewer.

One is the growing out of control debt problem in the United States and also many other western countries. The United States is now estimating it will incur an addition national debt of $1 Trillion every 100 days. There seems to be little urgency by the majority of elected official on both side of the political divide. We are presently witnessing billions of new spending being proposed either for buying votes in a election year or buying friends and allies around the world. It seems that because this pattern has been going on for decades it is assumed it will continue without any disaster. Many real world analysts do not believe this pattern will survive into 2025.

Consumer debt is also at an all time record high. It is also expected to come to some kind of crisis this year. More government spending can no longer keep bailing out excess debt.

Then there is war on many fronts, war without any end in sight. It seems Americans cannot or refuse to acknowledge NATO expansion in Ukraine being compared to Russian or Chinese military bases and missiles in Mexico, Canada, Cuba or Venezuela. It is so very interesting that when asking Americans about this comparable situation the vast majority do not see, or refuse to see the relevance. A very dangerous and delusional result of 20 years of orchestrated propaganda.

It seems the leadership of the country also are delusional in their belief that Nuclear war has never happened in 80 years and that no nation will ever use these weapons. Fact is, Israel will use these weapons if they believe they are about to be overrun and the danger of that is growing by the day, if some sort of resolution to these problems are not addressed in a serious way.

We hear western leaders in NATO countries like Poland and the Baltic states voice their belief that Russia will not ever use nuclear weapons, more delusional thinking. We also hear big NATO countries like the U.S. UK and France continue to insist that Russia must loose this conflict at any cost. They seem to have the deluded idea that they can keep escalating this conflict and that they will have an opportunity to back off, if it seems necessary. They voice their concern of the use of small tactical nuclear weapons, when and if nuclear weapons come into play, it will not be tactical or escalatory, it will be all out nuclear confrontation and there will not be any opportunity to back off. 

Delusional thinking about the seriousness of these growing crisis's will either end in a change of policy direction or disaster, that is the reality. Denial and ignoring this reality will not solve or delay a resolution of these problems.
