What forced the Huns to leave the banks of the Itil (Volga) to go towards the Danube, no one really knows.
The climate pessimum
Experts say that a cold snap has come. Volcanoes have been revived since the 4th century. The sky darkened. Clouds of smog obscured the earth from the sun. There was a shortage of food in the steppe. People and tribes suffered from famine.
The climatic maximum. Before the 4th century, it was exactly the opposite
The sky was clear. So the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Harvests and livestock offspring inspired people with optimism. So, until the 4th century, a favorable climatic maximum occurred throughout the inhabited world: an abundance of food contributed to population growth.
After the population growth, there was a shortage of food.
This is understandable.
But why the Huns? Why not other nomads, the same Alans, who were «tired of Huns raids.» Were there no more starving nomads in the Great Steppe?
Thats the thing, they were. But it was the Huns who became the «scourge of God.»
Why the Huns were illegitimate
Before the Huns became Guns, the Guns were Huns. And they lived on the Mongolian plateau and lived next to the Celestial Empire.
They lived side by side restlessly. All the time, they inconvenienced the farmers with their raids. It was against them that Emperor Qing Shi Huang built the Great Wall of China. The Chinese wanted to assimilate the nomads culturally at first, but they failed. By the 1st century BC, they got tired of it, and the Han Chinese staged a genocide against the Xiongnu. The most warlike Huns («indomitable» according to Gumilev) fled to the west and reached the interlude of the Don and Volga. For 200 years of such movement, the Huns passed through the lands of the Ugrians, Sarmatians, that is, other lords of the steppes. They did not merge with them but took women from the Ugrians and Sarmatians because they left their Hunnic women in China and Semirechye to break away from the Chinese pursuit. Thats how some of the Sarmatians, pressed by the Huns and the Alans, ended up in the North Caucasus and the Black Sea region. From mixing with the Ugrians and Sarmatians, the Huns began pronouncing the «g» sound from the Alan phonemes. The Ugrians and Sarmatians lost some of their women but survived because they used the same tactics of flight and retreat. In addition, the Alans have not yet built any walls, like the Chinese built the Great Wall of China. It didnt make the Alans feel any better. Meanwhile, some Alans settled down and began to build watchtowers. Other Alans went west with the Goths (so that the Spaniards would have the region of Catalonia Goths + Alans, and the French in the 20th-century actor Alain Delon was born).
Lets assume that the genetics of the «indomitable» Huns are to blame for everything. Wherever they settled, there was no peace for anyone. Thats how the Huns staged the Great Migration of peoples due to the earths cooling. The Xiongnu spread their wild energy across the earth. The entropy of this energy has been «shining» for many people for several centuries

The beautiful spring of democracy
«Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools compete»
Mao Zedong
When nature wakes up in the spring, no one is surprised. Flowers appear in the fields. The birds are singing. The nondescript-looking representatives of the fauna are divided into factions.
Unexpectedly, bright characters appear from the general mass of the same type. Against the background of white snow, bright coloring would attract predators. Now, the brighter the better. These are males! Females choose friends with the brightest plumage. This is a guarantee of the health of the future offspring.
What kind of spring makes people wear bright clothes?
Amazing! Expensive branded clothing performs the function of a painted tail.
But this is the case with young people.
And what should middle-aged people do? How can the elderly attract the young?
After all, old people cannot wear torn jeans and highlight bald spots (although such overly youthful characters are increasingly coming across)
«Scars adorn a man»
Thats what they used to say. The time for fights and duels has passed. War is not welcome. And in general, there is no war! All people are for peace. We dont mind. Scars are no longer decorations. Instead of scars, people wear tattoos
Nothing can decorate a modern man like that, only money!
And to have money, you need to have power.
Americans ask, «If youre so smart, why not rich?»
This expression is an American cliche for today, too, and does not keep up with events.
It is better to say: «If you are a Democrat member (a variant of a Republican, a member of the Democratic Party), why dont you have millions?
If you want to be rich, support democracy all over the world the surest way for today is to not look for pieces of peace all over the planet, that is, where there is no democracy yet, but instead, immediately become a Russophobe.
Therefore, the American cliche about wealth, as an accurate indicator of the mind, is better to immediately philosophy, «If you are a Russophobic, why didnt you get rich»?
Do you think members of the American Congress need democracy?
Democracy is a reason.
With howling about democracy, interested congressmen, Americans cherish their dreams of wealth in their heads (the Biden clan, Pelosi did it well). With each billion dollars allocated to Ukraine, all participants in the transaction become richer. The allocation of money is a pyramid scheme. The «inventors of help» receive the most. Officials in Ukraine collect crumbs from billions, millions of dollars. Everyone should fight so hard for freedom! Parasites cannot be torn away from this project by any means.
Russia is an outcast country
Why is Russia an outcast?
There is no other country in the world where totalitarianism is a culture, only in Russia. In Russia, people have lived in a collective community for many centuries. Russia is a country of snow and eternal cold. There are a lot of bears in such permafrost. Russia is a country of totalitarian lepers how else them to protect yourself from bears? Although you can make a fortune in Russia on Putin. Thats why «if youre a Russophobe, why didnt you get rich»? The Soros Foundations agents, these nobodies dressed up and spoon-fed, could ask precisely the same question. (If they were Americans). These greedy little people from underdeveloped areas are just representatives of philistinism. In the past, beggars. They like never seen anything in your life but want now live beautifully.
Everyone wants to live beautifully.
Birds spread their tails in the spring, so people worldwide look for democracy to wear branded clothes and «live like people.»

Sweet poison
«A successful businessman will never become a good statesman; his only interest is the pocket, not the people.»
F. Roosevelt
Advertising is the engine of trade and politics.
The seller praises his product and, at the same time, the buyer. Advertising inflates the product, the manufacturer, and the buyer of the product altogether. If the market trader does not praise the buyer, he will not make a profit. From here, all buyers become like perfection: short ones become tall, full ones become slender, and plain ones become ideal in beauty. Thats where free personalities come from, then just «personalities» who have the right from birth. The origin of the crowd of «personalities» as the sellers interest is it clear to you?
Any conservative society (any society of tradition, traditional society) has clear criteria for social distinction. In other words, traditional society is distinguished by the presence of apparent strata, classes, and castes (the latter two have the most negative connotations). Therefore, any momentary relaxation during the purchase is pleasant in itself. A short, fat, and ugly customer wants to buy more goods and listen to the flattery of the huckster.
