Need to improve the quality of education

The fact is that after reading books, an educated person becomes the worst buyer: he does not become a slave to advertising, he buys less new smartphones and cars, starting to prefer Mozart and Shakespeare to them.

To make people easier to manage, they need to wean a lot of thinking. The thinking of the average citizen should remain at the level of thinking of a teenager.

The United States has been an empire since 1947. Empires past and present must wage war to ensure their own existence.

War is a very important and lucrative part of the US economy and politics.

Why does America fight so many wars?

Why does the US start wars around the world and claim victories without having won anywhere?

Is democracy the power of the majority?

No, 51% is more than half, but it's not an absolute 3/4 majority.

Democracy is essentially an oligarchy (aristocracy). If earlier the aristocracy around the world made decisions without the participation of the masses (until the beginning of the twentieth century - if citizens had the right to vote, it was only on property, race and other parameters), now, thanks to political technologies, the same thing is happening, only on the basis of manipulation of the capital of the masses. In addition, no one teaches political literacy, and therefore the politically illiterate population chooses someone from the appointees of the elite by unfair voting.

Only elites participate in the parliamentary process. Citizens of the state are allowed to vote for their chosen candidate, but ordinary people cannot participate in elections. In the end, only the ruling elite decides the various interests of the population of the state.

Why is the war in Ukraine not ending?

Ukraine has been pumped with weapons and money again. The Russian military reported to the president that they will be able to capture Donbass by September, which means that there will be no negotiations until 2027.

Possible scenarios for the end of the war 1. Military exhaustion of one or both sides. 2. Political change is a change of government or an external course in one of the countries. 3. An agreement mediated by third countries, if both sides consider it beneficial. 4. Frozen conflict - cessation of active hostilities without final peace. 5. Victory in the war. Russia - if it starts mass mobilization and mass offensives. Ukraine - if the West starts fighting for it. Currently, the West (the United States, the EU, and NATO) supports Ukraine with weapons, intelligence, and finances, but it is not fighting for it.

The United States will not be able to influence the conclusion of peace
