Many people might not have read this, because the word Hate is in the title. Worse than that; it says YOUR HATE disguised behind others. If I judiciously avoid all such references, my costumes of who I am remain intact. My disguises hold up, and I am innocent of all wrong-thought. This is a primary function of a proxy, on the internal.

You might ask: how would I have titled this piece differently? Frankly, I probably wouldn't have written it, or I would have come at it side-ways. Even if these things need to be said and need to be analyzed. How do fundamental distortions feed-out into society? (So, I would use a proxy, to write this article. I did.)

What else can we say about people who hide behind the acts of other people, (their proxies)? I think most people's motivations are transparent through their words and deeds. They have a fear of direct culpability, but evidentially there is no fear in facilitating the acts of the proxy. To use the example of war, you can sell HIMARS and Storm Shadow missiles, teach the proxy how to use them, and even provide the targeting information; but don't shoot them yourself. What is this "imaginary line" that you can't cross to remain behind "plausible deniability"? Nobody has any doubts you're at war. Is it a provocation to see how much you can get away with? - That is the external. (You could say more.)

Before it was more guarded. ISIS was armed with old Soviet weapons, sourced secretly in Eastern Europe, not to allow any American weapons onto the battlefield.

Both these are based on a belief in the value of "trickiness". Very high American officials spout with extreme pride the words, "plausible deniability". It is a society based on their sideways narratives, and the direct meaning of words is discarded, or never was. Therefore, to say something that truly represents what you will do, is out of the question. (I admit there are security issues, but here everything is one.)

In this society based on duplicity, is everyone in America a liar? Could be; when "push comes to shove". The ploy is to avoid being pushed into the corner. That is done with many "no-go-zones". You have to be cautious of what you will allow-in, as I said up above.

Is there anything good to say about America? Different cultures have different definitions of collective responsibility. If we define leaders as villains, then it is not my fault. In that light, America is a great place. If someone says you voted for that guy who pulled the trigger, so it is you that pulled the trigger, then America is hopeless.

What is the assured trajectory through duplicity? I think you see it unfolding every day. The question is when or where will it stop? Or can it stop?

I know a little about Poland since they often get into the news with something often going on. Some part of them knows or believes that they can develop a destiny greater than today. (Like the Polish "Three Seas" bloc which could contain up to 15 nations and 100 million people.) They're contentious with the EU, which is probably a good thing for them.

I know very little about the Baltics, although in history Lithuania was a fierce "raider nation". Their written history started around 1,000, and by the 13th century they were the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. they conquered vast swaths of territory, and fought (or allied) back and forth with Kiev, Poland, Moscow, Sweden, and sometimes Germany. Later the Grand Duchy turned into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which persisted 123 years (until 1795) which was the partitions of Poland. Then they lived under Russia, or the Soviets until the Soviet breakup.

I know quite a bit about the Ukrainian territory. I know much about Kievan Rus and the Rurik (Varangian Chieftain), line of princes starting in Novogorod 862 with Volyamir, and then crashing for good around 1240 after about 40 tumultuous princes ruled. Austria ruled western Ukraine from 1772 - 1918. I don't know the details of that rule. Russia controlled the Eastern territory after the partition of Poland, 1795 and then until 1991.

What about between 1240 until before the Polish partition? It was back and forth with Poland and Russia. I don't recall any Ukrainian nation. (This is not a history lesson, but a comment on the origins of hate.)

I think parts of Ukraine had a strongly defined HATE during the 20th century. During the Russian Civil war, the 1920's, Symon Petilura led an armed revolt to make some part of Ukraine independent. He fought the Russians, Polish and Jews in pogroms. I don't know the territory in his concept of Ukraine, but certainly not what they are claiming today.

If Ukrainian hate was useful then, is it useful now? As you say up above, you can sell it and become rich. Ukraine just did a demobilization, to let soldiers that haven't been relieved or maybe even rotated for 24 months get out of the army. In an amazing information leak, 700,000 soldiers didn't show up, they're missing?? (As if you didn't know.) The Ukraine has been saying that their casualties are about 30,000 men. What am I saying?

The salaries of 700,000 "phantom soldiers" was being paid by western nations. I am sure all that money is being saved for their "back-pay", in the off-shore accounts of the generals in charge. Not to worry.
