I don’t consider myself “on the fringe’, I consider myself a realist who sees things clearly and am uninfluenced by the propaganda you pro-Ukies fall for. And I believe my perspective of things is more closely aligned with that of the vast majority of the world outside of the West.

The current system is failing despite the West’s best efforts to shore it up. That’s why we are desperately trying to engage Russia and China militarily in these various proxy wars as a way of preserving the status quo. But with almost all of the West bankrupt with unpayable debt this won’t be sustainable. The EU will be the first to crack because they lack natural resources, and they will eventually have to make accommodations with the Russians whether they like it or not. And the US is headed for a very reduced standard of living, which will result in less support for our insane military spending at the expense of other things. The elites themselves can see where things are heading, and are currently doing all they can to keep Russia and China in line. But I don’t see it working this time too many factors working against it.

"U.N. director at the independent International Crisis Group."

It they are independent, why are they being directed by one of the reptiles from the U.N.? Also, just what international crises are they in charge of running? Inquiring minds want to know.

I told my husband the day they announced sanctions.. this is about installing a puppet in Russia.. sanctions would never work because they will just use China and other countries to come out on top.
This was always about covering up the cost of ending “fossil” fuels.
The only people who suffer is us. Europe needs to fight its own pipeline wars, including Syria.
European and American leaders are now considered blameless for inflation because of Russia Russia Russia. When in fact they just want Russia to kneel like we have to whatever the world leaders say.
