Note: I did a 90-minute interview with the Friends of Aquinas channel. I have to say it was a very enjoyable conversation. The Monday Taki post is up. Of course, Sunday Thoughts is up behind the green door along with Thursday War Talk.
The Western media has been set to frame the war in Ukraine as a replay of the events in the 1930’s, with a healthy does of American moralizing. Putin is Hitler, of course, and Ukraine is the totally innocent victim. The narrative this time is different, because the “good guys” were ready and they have lured Putin into a trap. Biden made public what has been said privately, which is that Washington is planning regime change for Russia and then will move onto regime change in China.
It is entirely possible that this admission is not the result of a Biden gaffe or a bit of 4-D chess by his handlers. instead, this may be part of a trap laid by China, and to a lesser degree, Russia. Joe Biden admitted what most world leaders have understood since the war in Iraq. That is, the Global American Empire has no respect for the politics of other countries, so if they see those politics as a hindrance, they will try to decapitate the government and install a friendly regime.
Further, the reckless response by Washington to the Russian invasion has caused most of the world to rethink the global financial system. Saudi Arabia is now talking with China about doing business in something other than dollars. India has struck a deal with Russia to do business in rupees. India and Russia are now using China’s alternative to the SWIFT system for bank communications. Suddenly there is a race to build parallel financial structures by most of the world.
The primary beneficiary of this result is China. The reason the world prefers to do business in dollars and use US treasuries as collateral is the system of rules governing global finance are rooted in the dollar as the default currency. Those rules benefit America at the expense of the world, but the trade-off has been a fixed and predictable set of rules, including responsible management of the global currency. That trade-off no longer makes sense thanks to Washington’s actions.
That has been the primary result of the sanctions. Washington broke the basic rules of the system to launch this attack on Russia. Cutting off Moscow has been seen by most of the world as a violation of the basic promise of the system. Cutting of the Russian central bank without consulting the rest of the world is probably going to be viewed as the great mistake of this whole affair. That is supposed to be a punishment agreed upon by the world in only the worst cases.
The question no one is asking is whether China saw this as a potential outcome of the Russian invasion. They seem to have been prepared for it. Similarly, Russia seems to have been prepared for the assault. The ruble declined but stabilized after the Moscow central bank stepped into stabilize it. China was ready to meet with India and Russia to work out a joint response. Even South Africa seems to have been in the loop on what to do if Washington came down hard on Russia.
The fact is, Russia never would have gone into Ukraine without knowing the Chinese would backstop them financially. Russian is a big powerful country, but it is a relatively poor country so it cannot go it alone for too long. It is true that Iran has figured out how to get around the sanctions regime, but Russians have had a taste of the good life and would no doubt tire of the hardships. With China and India bucking the sanctions regime, those hardships are now greatly minimized.
Reports indicate that Washington was telling Beijing that Moscow was plotting the invasion and may have signaled their response. China has plenty of spies embedded in Washington, as well as the big social media companies. People forget that China downloaded the data from the Office of Professional Management. They have lots of close friends in Washington politics. The point being is that China probably had a good idea of what America was planning as a response.
If you look at a map, what you see is that most of the world is not going along with the sanctions regime on Russia. Instead of the West isolating Russia, it looks like it is the rest of the world isolating the West. More important, the cost of the sanctions regime is hitting the West where they feel it, their wallets. Prices are soaring in Western countries for food and fuel. Britain is about to experience the biggest drop in the standard of living since records have been kept.
It very well may be that the reason Russia invaded Ukraine is it was part of a much larger plan to deal with the Global American Empire. Russia saw the chance to reassert her ancient claims in eastern Europe and weaken NATO. China saw the chance to bait Washington into smashing its own financial system. The rest of the world is objectively looking at things and seeing a new multipolar world. They want to be on good terms with all of the new power centers of the future.
It is too soon to know if Washington is being played, but the indications thus far suggest they do not see what is happening. Allegedly, the Biden people did not talk to the Federal Reserve about their sanctions regime. This is why cutting off the Moscow central bank has blown up in their face. That is the sort of error that suggests the decision makers are not thinking things through. They also seem to have fell for the military assessments from the Pentagon.
We will know much more in the coming months, but it is possible that what we are seeing is the result of a clever trap laid out by Beijing and Moscow. The war in Ukraine is just one piece of a larger puzzle. This is a puzzle clear to everyone but Washington, which is still high off the fumes of the 1990’s. They still believe they are at the end of history and leading the world to the promised land. Instead, they may be leading the West into a massive financial disaster.

His handlers ‘frantically backpedaling’ on his statements as a ‘gaffe’ is pretty crass. That was no gaffe. We’ve heard enough of those to know the difference. Someone put that in the teleprompter and he read it word for word.

i think what happened is that Biden was trying to paraphrase something along the lines of what he said, but inadvertently amplified it. a classic big mouth foul up. too funny if he ends up costing his backers big $$.

You are probably correct that this was in the speech, and not the quotidian, standard-issue Biden gaffe. The dim-witted Biden cabal probably thought this cri du coeur would be their contemporary equivalent to “Mr. Gobachev, tear down this wall!”. Uh, no, this merely further established their reckless stupidity in the eyes of the world.
6
And given that Biden is himself pResident due to a coup, the irony of this eructation makes it yet more stunningly mendacious.

” … the irony of this eructation makes it yet more stunningly mendacious.”
Yeah, but dear God, does *anything* stun us anymore?
The thought of China joining economic and militaristic forces with Russia makes me a tad uneasy.

I’m not sure why all the downvotes for Maniacs comment. Any pain dealt to the American political class will be felt by the dirt people exponentially worse.
10
I find upvotes and downvotes on this site to be amusing. I personally don’t care if someone does so to my comments, but I don’t always understand the reason for their downvotes. Why would you downvote an opinion? An opinion that merely reflects the author’s feelings about the events? Is it, “I don’t agree with your opinion” (BFD), or is it, “I don’t like the fact you have an opinion different from mine”? Or, is it, “If I don’t downvote your opinion, the left will win!”?
2
When I see a downvote, it brings to mind the jeering and boos you see in the British Parliament when someone says something others don’t like
Or maybe, just maybe, our hidden rulers saw this as an optimal moment to put even more screws to the average American. Biden has given multiple heads up how we would be affected by sanctions. Only thing different is he didn’t blame Trump.
Don’t forget their climate change and great reset agenda are still foremost in their minds. Anything that can effect help in that agenda is a positive to them.
With Will Smith invading Chris Rock’s personal space, all bets are off now.
10
Manipulating events to position China as the primary global financial power, or at least one of the strongest players, seems at least plausible given recent history. It may be as it seems on the surface, a devastating error, and given the impulsiveness and recklessness of D.C., that’s the more likely reason. But we certainly cannot rule out that at least some D.C. elements go exactly what they wanted.

lil justine got her ass handed to her at a recent EU session, where several MPs called him a dictator and a disgrace. ties into this post in that EU will quickly see which way the wind is blowing, and distance themselves from car-crash America. pretty soon it will be fortress North America (minus Mexico) against the world. I know which way I would bet…
12
I too am wondering if the EU will eventually break off from the US and go it’s own way working with China and Russia. I know, personally-if I were a country or collection of countries-I wouldn’t tie my fortune to the dictatorial whims of the US, as demonstrated from the Iraqi wars forward.
12
Victoria Truss is a stupid enough bint to have let the cat out of the bag (think Biden with a vagina) when she said sanctions could be lifted relatively soon. Oddly, England and Western Europe are more likely to feel the heat from the financial consequences the soonest, and Eastern Europe’s historical enmity against Russia makes them more likely to hold the line.
It would not surprise me if the EU starts to fracture by the autumn. Whether that would lead to a split with the United States is another matter, but as Z wrote the mask if off as to how D.C. views the sovereignty of others so the paranoia is justified.
6
Italy will have to default. Spain and Portugal too. At the more local level, there are going to be many a house that falls into foreclosure in these countries. I know a lot of these houses, in Italy at least, were purchased by Brits and Germans as second homes for their “gentry” class. Well, not going to be a gentry class for much longer, and they are going to dump these places to keep the lights on at home.
“Whether that would lead to a split with the United States is another matter, but as Z wrote the mask if off as to how D.C. views the sovereignty of others so the paranoia is justified.”
Well said, but I *think* the European governments are “all in” on the Great Reset.
These are fanatics. Tyrants. True believers.
It’s a religious crusade for them.
The population has to be reduced to 500 million. That is literally carved in granite.
These devils are true believers. They are *convinced* that the world will end in five years if they don’t act NOW.
They *mean* to save the world whether the world wants to be “saved” by these demons or not.
I’m not sure how far we can get with our rational calculations.
That is, the Global American Empire has no respect for the politics of other countries, so if they see those politics as a hindrance, they will try to decapitate the government and install a friendly regime.
Rather off topic here but I’m not too fond of the moniker GAE: the globalists are not Americans in any meaningful sense of the word and they’re not espousing American values. It’s not America couping other countries because it’s not a bilateral political aggression, it’s the global cabal decapitating any government they don’t control, like indeed they did to America a year ago.
22

Agreed, Felix. The globalists are post-Americans, post-Europeans. That’s arrogant as hell and ultimately delusional, but it is how they view themselves. I’m no longer betting on them winning, either. They got a big win in America as you point out, but they are squandering it rapidly.
18
Agreed. These parasites have had a string of successes contingent upon their control of banking and finance…that ace up their sleeve they could always count on. I have a feeling someone is about to call their bluff. Stand by for hysterics.

“Stand by for hysterics.”
Let’s stipulate instead exploding heads.
Literally exploding heads.
The Zapruder type.
The bluff has already been called
We are living in the beginning of the end of a financialized economic order. I.e. a Ponzi scheme
I had a strange vision not long ago but I was back visiting the south and passing all these old plantation houses, on top of me always having an interest in them and in the market to perhaps buy one one day. Seeing them in their various states of disrepair or lacking their former glory, their lands whittled down to normal size lots, I had a vision that soon enough all those fancy houses in the Hamptons owned by the Wall Street crowd would see the same fate. And they. would become abandoned and fallen into disrepair.
If your riches are built on debt and numbers on a computer screen, oh boy, you got something bad coming for ya. We are going to see that a good half of the billionaire class are billionaires in name only based on phantom money and assets.

GAE seems appropriate, even with the US being ruled by an Anglo-Zionist elite. Just like the British Empire was.

What is revealing to me is how the covid-climate-woke cult is nearly universally worshipped by the government heads across the west.
Orange man was some rhetorical rejection but largely in theater only. The decapitate and install approach, seems to be what they like to call “Democracy”. Nobody rises to actual power without being a cult member. Period.
Our own system, having the benefit of currency and aggressive military-foreign-policy was able to mask the illusion longer than most, but 2020 proved both that the time has passed for such comfortable shrouding and that it doesn’t really matter because the proles are long since too remote from their own governance and the demographic invasion has done its job of melting the culture into a hot mess of tribal opportunism and anti-heritate-American sentiment codified by law and policy.
As for GAE. I agree. The “American” part is an unfortunate residual geographic reference. But I do like that it is pronounced “GAY”.

“The decapitate and install approach, seems to be what they like to call “Democracy”.”
This book explains democracy. In the title, “end” means both “termination” *and* “goal; purpose.”

Along the lines of what David Wright wrote earlier, there are at least some elements in D.C. that see Chinese global leadership as a good way to enrich themselves. Were these people positioned to cause this cluster? Dunno, but the Build Back Better/Great Reset regime has demonstrated enormous power. If it, or at least a portion of it, sees China as their way to get more coin, it isn’t much of a conspiracy theory to see everything going according to plans.
The assumption had been the dollar would remain the reserve currency for at least another decade or two. That may be a stretch now, and those will hard assets rather than paper appear positioned to mop up.

First, the Cloud People are all in, and it’s all or nothing for them and they know it, so risk is an irrelevant consideration in their decision-making. The coming false-flag gambit in Ukraine could well spark WW3, and they are OK with that outcome. Now go deeper.
What have learned in the Ukraine War thus far? The entire affair was orchestrated by the Elites and now white guys are killing white guys in huge numbers. When the smoke clears, the dirt people will be suffering & starving, and the oligarchs will be eating caviar on their mega-yachts out at sea. And what will be the response? The popular “voices of reason” will be beating the drums for vote HARDER and promoting the canard that the next batch of RINOs will save the day. And the beat goes on.
But we don’t have to bend over and take it up the ass. Instead of white guys killing white guys, we have better a better alternative. We can become antibodies and expurgate the disease cells. There aren’t that many of them and they are not invincible. When they give you a javelin, you don’t have to point it at the other white guys in that tank over there. Think outside the box.

I’ve been hoping for weeks that Putin would activate assets (assassins) in AINO to obviate the destruction of most of the Northern Hemisphere. He has disappointed me thus far.
But sooner or later, *somebody* is going to DO this. Foreign rulers or domestic freedom fighters. Doesn’t matter. It doesn’t require an army. Just “a few good men.”
And I believe that they are out there, ready to roll, or close to it. I seriously doubt that I’m the only one with this idea. If I have thought of it and hoped for it, so have LOTS of others, the difference being that they are young and I am old. They have sharp eyes, and I don’t.
But they are out there. And they are thinking outside the box.
I’d bet the rent on it.

They were the type who also phantasized about being a hero and playing with guns in their youth…but never becoming real soldiers. For this type, becoming a bureaucrat and taking their childhood phantasies into the realm of “the intelligence community” satisfies their adult desires. We now have incompetent children in government who think they are James Bond.

No, we have incompetent children in government who think they’re Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In reality they’re just his pussy.

The Biden regime change statement could be two things. One, it could have been inserted in the speech to titillate the media that is calling of WW3. It certainly did – even thought they back off it (Big lie stuff). The other is he simply continues living in the fantasy land that was on display back in the Clarence Thomas hearings. He is an unintelligent man who has long flattered himself as a leader and a man of insight. This is just a natural continuation of that behavior.

The US has perfected the techniques to destroy any foreign government that is even slightly liberal or has the trappings of a free press and a democratic vote. The dreaded “color revolution” is almost impossible to resist.
Having seen shadowy 3 letter agencies run a color revolution “lite” in the US in 2018-2020, one wonders if Western Europe fears that if they don’t play along, they’re next on the target list for a regime change. Great Britain, Germany, France, etc….all seem like easy targets, and they don’t have the will to resist it. (Neither did the US, I might add)
There’s a deficiency in western style liberal governments that makes them vulnerable to chaos. The US has perfected the playbook. But Russia, India, and especially China are watching closely.
How soon before China runs this in the US? Indeed, if they haven’t already?
7
Gene Sharp’s short book, Dictatorship to Democracy is a good outline of the color revolution playbook.
It seems like most of the techniques would work in reverse.
The Americans still feel pretty safe. At the moment, there is no real alterative to the dollar and treasuries. But in the banking world, perception is everything. The world’s view of the US and dollar have permanently changed.
We’re no longer trustworthy – and trust is the most important asset for a bank.
I don’t know how long it will take or in what form, but an alternative system will arise from this. Granted, Russia and China were already trying to create such a system for the past ten years, but this makes that process inevitable.

Some people are going to find out that “following the rules” no longer works
I know a lady who ran accounting for a large corporation and was perfect in her following of both corporate and IRS rules and would look at anyone who broke them as deserving of whatever they got. She was the ideal “person who made all the right decisions in life” and would subtly flaunt it. You may know the type.
She couldn’t believe that I sometimes wouldn’t pay my taxes because I had to put the IRS in last place when it came to paying my water and power or whatever other daily necessities. I ran my own business, and these are decisions I had to make. Money at the time came in in waves. For her, working corporate, she had no idea that when the money is not there then Uncle Sam has to wait his turn. I have to eat and keep the lights on. I could see it her eyes that she didn’t find me to be so much a bad person but a bit of a shady one because I didn’t revolve my life around getting uncle Sam his money. She dismissed me as a person who simply, didn’t make the right decisions.
Then I told her of the time the state taxing agency ransacked my business checking accounts. I woke up and all my business checking accounts were at zero. And this was without any legal warning or certified mail. What had happened was they had sent me a letter for one tax period only, but then they figured what the hell, why bother with sending letters and going through the process of collecting on other tax periods. When I spoke with them they admitted as much. “You knew what to expect, so we didn’t bother with jumping through the legal hoops for all the other periods”
Needless to say, my trust in the system was completely shattered. I will never trust any bank again. Or any state agency. Now all those Canadian truckers know how it is in the real world for many of us.
Ok, so that’s me. But you watch. It won’t belong before the lady at the top of my post has similar shit happen to her despite her following all the rules. Her faith in the system is going to be shattered too, and she is pretty much every typical older white mom in America.

“The power to tax is the power to destroy.”

Chief Justice of the United States.

The seizure of citizen’s bank accounts who have not been charged with a crime also erodes trust.
6
Yeah, the seizing of the Canadian truckers’ bank accounts and threats against even those who donated to their cause right before the US and Europe seized Russia’s central bank assets was a serious one-two punch for Normies.
The Canadian truckers was a much bigger deal for the guy in the street. Regardless, they both massively undermined trust in the system both on a person and geopolitical level.
2
” … who have not been *convicted* with a crime … .
Our elites are foreign, or at least might as well be, right? They’ve declared themselves and justified decoupling from them domestically, too. Give it a decade to sink in. Or maybe sooner the way things are going.
It’ll suck, but as the pain caused by the current system moves up the socioeconomic ladder, enough people will find the state of affairs intolerable— and America will catch up with the rest of the world.
If I’m lucky, I might get to experience the fullness of being a freeborn American man in my lifetime. At least that’s the hope.
6
Collapse not revolution. I think they know this, hence them threatening to blow up the whole world. The thing’s too big. Revolution and reform are both impossible, but that makes collapse inevitable at some point.
Again, the Great Reset is the attempt to manage the aftermath. That might be possible if they were in control and not their demons.
8
“Revolution and reform are both impossible, … .”
I’m not sure. Depends on what you mean by “revolution.”
I suspect that several–maybe lots–of the states will say NO to the ECASH diktat, just as they did to the Chinkypox rules.
Doesn’t Texas have its own gold reserves?
Doesn’t North Dakota have its own bank?

Yeah the middle class is getting destroyed and even the upper middle class is starting to feel it. They seemed to sit back and do nothing, and even enjoy it, while the working class was getting destroyed.
They also kept their neighborhoods white for longer. Today there’s immigrants fresh off the boat that can outbid the white upper middle class. Some Arab family can afford a $5 million McMansion just north of Toronto and play loud goat herder music all night (true story).
UC admission is showing that the children of upper middle class professionals can’t get into good schools.
The rot is going to screw these people hard. Could be a good thing as you say, Right Now they seem to be going ultra woke to compensate for their loss of lifestyle and privileges.

This has been the story out here in CA for a long time
Talk to any white lumber or electrician or tradesman about how th country was screwing them with massive illegal immigration, and all the white upper and professional classes just yawned.
Now it is going to be them, and they may finally realize that EVERYONE was going to get screwed, they just worked it up the social ladder gradually.
And now doesn’t it make perfect sense why they “elites” and the ambitious were acting with the urgency of the world going to end and that getting oneself into politics was like grabbing a seat on a spaceship or ark that would take them to safety? For a long while, people have known that something bad was coming, hence their urgency to grab one of those prized seats for them and theirs.
And what is the secret word to get on board?
“Keev” perhaps.

If I was part of a cabal of globo capital with a penchant for C-suite payoffs from commie totalitarianism and I had just been party to a four-year long coup on the political head, after a 12 year-long coup on all of the essential institutions of power, after a 70 year-long war of attrition on the culture and social institutions, and I was in the final stages of looting the treasury and liquidating the collateral of a former empire I just might be looking to animate that head to lay down the cards face up too. I mean I’m not saying our fearless leader and the clown car are trying to destroy what is left of the empire, but if they were…

It is a fact that the US government is acting in a way entirely consistent with courting civil war. Such insane behavior requires extraordinary explanations which, in my opinion, entirely validates your speculation without confirming it.

* courting nuclear war (but also true as typed by mistake)
3
“* courting nuclear war (but also true as typed by mistake)”
On his recent trip to Poland, Biden traveled in “the Doomsday Jet.” And he also made the public statement that there is no danger of nuclear war.
He did *both* of those things, so, yeah, you ae right.

An immense amount of world wealth is tied up in US Treasuries. Financial failure will hit the pocket books of countries with zero interest in the problems of the Black Sea steppes. At some point they must decide if they’re getting out or riding the ship down to the bottom. That will be the moment of truth. If the federal reserve ends up buying all the extant T-bills the game is over.
5
“If the federal reserve ends up buying all the extant T-bills the game is over.”
The power to create money ex nihil is to be taken from the Fed and given to the Treasury, i.e., the White House. Biden is scheduled to sign the order tomorrow.
And it was a couple of years ago that FedGov gave permission for Big Tech to go into the banking business, which they have done.
Why Big Tech? B/c tomorrow Biden is scheduled to sign the EO inaugurating “ECASH.”
The plan is to pay to everyone the universal basic income in the form of ECASH, and the (current) plan is to limit *everyone* to possessing only $2000 in ECASH. As time passes, they will withdraw real cash, and then we’ll be in their merciless, evil hands.
So they MUST be stopped, and they will be, but it won’t be quick or easy or cheap.

As an aside, is not replacing Nord Stream 1 and 2 and other pipelines carrying NG with more expensive LNG from the US not only more expensive and much more dangerous? Boston was having a fit in the past about an LNG terminal in the harbor due to the dangerous potential of such a depot in normal times. Wouldn’t LNG terminals in Europe be sitting ducks for cruise missiles. The cruise missile payload could be reduced significantly as the the US drops off the extremely volatile and explosive materials right in the port.
I mean, if a dirt person like me can think of that elementary catastrophic possibility why can the elite educated like Blinken and company foresee this danger?
4
Karl Denniger has a post on this. bottom line is there is a woeful lack of capacity in LNG, plus it is much more costly per billion BTU. it can’t replace pipelines.

There seems to be different possibilities. I’ve been trying to assign motives to the elites for a while too, even before the Ukraine border skirmish.
1) Elites & Washington are fully penetrated by the CCP. The CCP is using the opportunity to do a full economic and social collapse in the USA & broader West. Obviously so they can become country #1 and bring about a new world order, and also take over North America for its resources. We’ve also seen those stories in the news about “recycled white guys” ending up in China, maybe they would even allow limited immigration.
2) The elites are controlled by some other group, like WEF, and seek to destroy the economic and social so that they can bring in their own New World Order. Could also include Small Hat plans in this category. In their sick schemes they are Gods and would love to be worshipped while we eat bugs. The world ends up multipolar, and there’s the West Globohomo vs. Soviet Globohomo vs. Asian Globohomo, end result no freedom or wealth for most people.
3) The elites are actually just really stupid, female controlled, and weak. Old white guys are completely out of touch with current culture being controlled by 25 year old marketing kids that tell them “we ran this focus group, if you don’t make a Woke statement people will think you’re a mean raycist” etc. Women in power don’t think things through and react hysterically. As their rule gets weaker they double down and become more frantic.
If one was trying to implode a nation you could say that they’ve done a fabulous job. Sexual liberation, open borders, economic destruction, COVID lockdowns, racial strife, shut down oil production, drug legalization, destroyed trust in financial institutions & democratic process… A+ effort. The only question is what comes next. The elites still have to live somewhere. Even living in gated compounds might not be feasible at a certain stage of advanced collapse, and they will probably not be welcome in other nations. Even Israel is distancing itself from the crazed and sick usa.
15
#1 is a no for me, unless the CCP somehow infiltrated the US government in late 50’s (or earlier) and has been running the show since then.
I give #2 about 20% chance of being correct.
80% for #3 mixed with some of #2.
7
The dust up in the Ivy League lends credence to #1. Ethnic mafias vying to be America’s pimp.
1
All of your options are possible. Another possibility is that the Ukraine war is just a sham. Deadly for the people on the ground for sure. But what’s a few tens of dirt people lives between men of real power. Putin, Schwab, the CCP and Globohomo’s DC office may be seeing eye to eye, putting on a deadly circus so we don’t have time to wonder what the covid, vaxx, imploding economy and many other mega crimes, were all about. Your options are also mutually compatible, especially if you stack them in layers. So hysterical females in DC are being reinforced to go by option (3) by handlers following (1) or (2).
Because we don’t have the behind-the-scene information to determine which is more accurate, we have to assess based on behavior. Some of that behavior will be intended to mislead. The real power structures of the world are more opague and obscure than at any time since the fall of Byzantium.
3
Door #3– These people are far too confident, arrogant, and myopic to have a ‘long plan’, they are simply use to throwing their weight around w/ no blowback. It is all very feminine as you’ve pointed out and we’ve discussed before. When you haven’t been punched in the face it is easy to run your mouth and make threats assuming that some meathead is going to rise to your defense.
As much as it would badly hurt everyone the crash of the US dollar while catastrophic for us, may be the best outcome for the rest of the world. We are now a grotesque parody of the United States and simply wearing it as a skinsuit like ‘Buffalo Bill’ the tranny from Silence of the Lambs parading around to the disgust of all.

It seems obvious the morons in DC didn’t compute the various negative permutations that might/would result from this idiotic sanctions gambit. Just like the covid lockdowns. But, as others have mentioned, maybe it’s been the plan all along – screw their own people and then attempt to move onto Ruskies, and Chinese.
I guess the question is how long are folks going to take it up the cake hole while energy and food prices skyrocket and inevitable shortages multiply – all in the name of our ever so precious “muh democracy”? Damn those DC dirtbags and their phony BS moralizing – we’re definitely in stage four cancer territory and extreme intervention is the only hope.

This is nothing more than a controlled demolition. They are doing everything they can to destroy the dollar as the reserve currency. Our destruction and enslavement is just around the corner. There is no stopping what is coming so you best make the hard choices now about what you are going to do.

“This is nothing more than a controlled demolition. They are doing everything they can to destroy the dollar as the reserve currency.”
They are destroying the economy of the entire world, actually, so that they can “build back better.”
“Our destruction and enslavement is just around the corner.”
Tomorrow, according to Martin Armstrong.
“There is no stopping what is coming so you best make the hard choices now about what you are going to do.”
It *will* be stopped. They *will* fail in their mad, evil scheme. The questions are “When?” and “At what price?”
I have been hoping that Putin or Xi or somebody with assets in AINO would activate assassins; snipers. It’s being reported now by William Engdahl that the Ukes have been using assasin/snipers and have knocked off several Russian general officers and the Admiral of the Black Sea fleet, so somebody, at least, sees that a general catastrophe might be avoided by getting rid–immediately if not sooner–of certain evil individuals.
Fingers crossed.

Nonsense.
You have to remember that Globohomo exists in an artificial bubble of prosperity fuelled by unsustainable debt. When people start to starve, the shooting starts. When the shooting starts, loyalties will be tested. Most of America actively hates Biden now. Over the weekend, when he told the 82nd Airborne they’d be in the Ukraine soon – he cluelessly sat down eating pizza while the squaddies glared at him.
Globohomo Inc has clearly misjudged the Russians, just as they have misjudged Americans – many of whom are already seething at the stupidity going on at the gas pumps.
Putin has played these people before. The fact is, he’s probably personally murdered a dozen powerful crime families similar to the Biden’s, Clinton’s and Pelosi’s already.
The world is going to change, but the chances of Globohomo surviving it are pretty dismal.
In America we have an evil party and a stupid party. Occasionally, Congress does something that is both stupid and evil. We call this bipartisanship.
The Uke War and sanctioning Russia has received nigh-universal support in DC.

Biden to introduce ECASH tomorrow:

ECash?
Of course GAE would come up with the fakest and lamest possible name for their beast coin.

The CCP and the various arms of Globohomo – the top floor of the ideological movement spearheading Western demographic, cultural and economic suicide – probably work in similar ways to gain and hold influence; bribery, blackmail, insinuations and, sometimes, assassinations. The CCP has clearly penetrated both DC and Brussels. Why the CCP wants the West to collapse is clear. Why Globohomo wants it is far less clear but much in evidence. The relationship between the CCP and Globohomo is one of the important mysteries of this age but is presumably a mix of rivalry and cooperation. The CCP is not unlike the WEF with the world’s factory base, 1.4 billion subjects and nuclear weapons.

I believe that Russia was obligated to do what it did in Ukraine, but knowing that they very well could have said “while we’re at it how can we use the overbearing response from the U.S. to our favor?”
I like listening to libertarians say “I’m morally opposed to countries invading each other.” It’s like saying “I’m morally opposed to lions attacking limping gazelles.” Goes right up there with “start your own Verizon Wireless.” Harry Potter fans playing that stick game are more grounded.

Shortly after the Ukraine Schlagfest got started, here in Germany, diesel was going up 10-Euro cents day for the first few weeks of the conflict. My wife also commented that she couldn’t find sunflower cooking oil in the local shops as the shelves were empty. Aldi and Lidl even posted signs limiting purchases of other cooking oils to 2-litres per person.
At that same time, I had to make a trip to Czech and while there discovered not only were fuel prices significantly lower than in Germany, but when I stopped by a small grocery shop (not Aldi or LidI) they had cases upon cases of sunflower oil still unopened and all the shelves were full.
It would seems the problems we’re hearing about from German media somehow don’t occur in Czech. But I suspect if German reporters can’t see if from Google maps, or find a reference on CNN or CNBC then the problem simply doesn’t exist anywhere else.
If you’re curious, you can compare fuel prices by date and location on this website and see exactly what was going on in the world –

” … in the local shops as the shelves were empty.”
This has been true in my part of the States since the very beginning of the Covid hysteria, starting with toilet paper. One never knows what will be available and what won’t. They only think that has been available normally–without interruption or rationing–is fresh produce, b/c it is produced locally.
“Aldi and Lidl even posted signs limiting purchases of other cooking oils to 2-litres per person.”
And that, of course, is food rationing, but nobody will say that out loud. Yet.
Thanks for posting that info., Horst. I’m glad to get such info from other locations. My sister, twenty miles from me in a neighboring state, has never seen shortages or rationing of any kind at any time.
It defies explanation.
Despite the media hype, no one with a functioning brain cell in Germany (or France, Belgium, Italy, etc.) believes WWIII is heading our way. We may not like Putin, or agree with this conflict, but his reasons for doing this are clear – in 2009 he took Georgia, 2013 Crimea, and now he’s wrapping up with Ukraine and will most likely pick up Moldovia along the way in the near future. He has no grand visions of a new Europe, only a grand vision of old mother Russia.
Does Europe really care? No. Not really. Despite what the media romanticizes about the countries Putin has and will invade, they’re all the poorest and most retched countries you can imagine and obviously not European either so we have zero ethnic ties with any of them.
In fact, Putin is doing Western Europe a huge favor. This way they don’t end up in the EU as they will only suck yet MORE euros into their corrupt little corners of the world. Good riddance!
