Putin doesn’t want Ukraine. He is playing 3d chess. He wanted to provoke the West into imposing sanctions so he can generate momentum from the BRIC nations to decree foul and demand a new reserve currency.
China has $3T in reserves with the Fed. I think they're watching closely. The Fed has become effectively the monetary base for the global financial system. However, in the end, this base is just a placeholder. A line on a computerized balance sheet. While the U.S. can offer the empty threat of seizing your money, there's really nothing stopping one from just hitting backspace on the currency designator on the $630B in U.S reserves, and typing in R378,000 on that line (assuming a 60-1 exchange rate or whatever exchange rate one prefers), and then continuing on as if nothing had happened.

This was already clearly underway. It began when the governments of the world decided to collectively use Covid as a carrot to allow them to change all manner of rational expectations regarding the nature of Government and Their People. Changing their Covenants in manners and ways The People did not agree to and had no sway over. Then, as the "pandemic" has wound down, they attempted to continue to force those changes to remain in effect, vis-a-vis the "Jan 6 Insurrection" and the Canadian version of it via the "Trucker Convoy". France has had its own lesser versions, as have a number of other western nations... but the people of those nations have noted what has happened in the USA and Canada, and you can bet that it would not follow the same paths. The third such serious protest (wherever it occurred) would be far far harder to suppress and much more likely to result in one or more governments being toppled. Hence the fomenting of the Ukrainian Distraction by Western Governments.
The overall changes are underway. The PostModern Left thinks they can and will wind up in Control after what they have referred to, publicly and openly, as "The Great Reset". I fear that the Davros crowd thinks similarly, which is why they've also encouraged it.
I do agree. The results of what will happen after all the chips have fallen will be utterly beyond prediction and... interesting.
In the apocryphal "Chinese curse" kind of "interesting".
This is the first article I have read here. It is stunning in the patience with which it is written, its wideness of scope, and its prescience and precision. We are at a unique moment and this article captures that notion perfectly. Very impressed and happy to subscribe!
Western leaders act like we live in the economy of 60 years ago. The US exports dollars and financialization primarily; we can't eat either one of those.
Not really. The USA "exports" IP and Services. We are the only nation which has fully converted to the third economy (after Agricultural and Industrial) and, for the time being, uniquely able to, thanks to our historic Melting Pot nature, take advantage of that.
Given that the US' culture mirrors the rest of the world, having borrowed from all of them, and has people here from all other nations and cultures around the world, the simple fact is, "if it plays well here, it plays well almost anywhere". No other nation is so "polylithic" in its makeup and inherent nature. The closest is probably Australia, and they're clearly out for self-destruction, given their excessive reaction to both guns and now covid. New Zealand is a similar option, with, unfortunately, similar problems.
We (the US) are, granted, out for self-destruction, too, given that we have allowed a self-hating bunch to gain control of just about everything, and have barely begun trying to wrest control back. PostModern Liberalism is a social cancer -- literally, not figuratively -- and needs to be eradicated and become dissed everywhere anytime anyone attempts to promote it.
Meaning we have not "advanced" from anything, we just moved industrialization to places where companies could make a larger profit and not have to worry about environmental regulations. The only thing that makes this charade possible is dollar dominance in world trade.
The idea of a service based economy, despite what economics text books say, is a complete and utter joke forced upon the USA to manufacture consent for outsourcing in the name of profit margin and now virtue signaling over climate change. It is also a disaster waiting to happen. If you don't own the means of your own survival (production) as a society or civilization you have built a foundation on a house of cards. Currency, in the end is just an agreed upon representation of value for exchange; assets are what matter, especially the ones you require to survive (food and energy) as we are seeing right now.
I'm trying to figure out what I can do to prepare, if anything at all. I'm stored a bit of food and critical items but I think there's only so much buying supplies can do. I think one of the most ignored aspects of survival is having a strong social circle to provide material as well as moral support. I've been trying to get my family together to discuss things we can do to cooperate if a crisis happens but we aren't exactly the Kennedys.
It it all breaks down, it's probably going to self-destruct to the local level. It might hold up at the state level, if the state government has the correct hands on the reins, but even that may not manage to control it.
The biggest concern is how to hold off the ravening hordes from the cities if the sh** really does hit the fan.
If you don't own weapons, you need to seriously consider it.
So telling, corporations rail against Russia; crickets on the Chinese Uighurs and child labour employed by the west. Lets see the hypocrisy unmasked when China takes Taiwan.
}}} on the Chinese Uighurs and child labour employed by the west.
No, they are employed by the Chinese. True, "The West" does maintain a blind eye to this.
The fun part is that it's mostly the liberal jackwads who are doing the blind eye. The right notes this stuff all the time, and gets shouted down as racist nationalist slime for daring to take issue with it.
If I should suggest at my local saloon a solicitation of someone to “take out” a certain senator, how soon would I receive a KNOCK from the FBI asking about my solicitation of murder. Would the knock echo louder if one suggested a head of state. But, for Graham Cracker . . . ? Not a crunch?
So was the invasion of Ukraine timed with the ending and effect of COVID in mind ?

Violence begets violence. The citizens if not manipulated want peace, only the people in power want war, to accumulate more power.

Funny, huh? Are we laughing hard yet?
The CCP is a monstrosity that needs to be nuked out of existence.
