What matter are those AI narratives and the S&P 500 above 5000. Who freaking cares if the common ppl suffer in a staglfation. As long as the US is given a free pass in having the most valued stock market in the world, it is free to outrun both RU+CN in terms of sustaining an arms race. Modern warfare is waged on the financial market and battlefields are just side-events.

The last throws of an empire always defile its own existence.

throes ;) Although "last throws" does conjure up a humorous image of an American football team doing a Hail Mary pass in the final seconds of a game :D

One would expect that facing an enemy that can destroy you without recourse, to conclude it is necessary to work towards a diplomatic détente with this enemy. In the white house the conclusion is to scare people into supporting an increased provocation of this unbeatable foe. The logic escapes me.

Their logic isn't informed by basic realities, thus the appearance of insanity. These people create their own logic, like they create narratives and money. It's all logical in the neural space mirror magic imperium that is the Collective West. Problem is, they're trapped in the bullshit and we're trapped with them.

I wish they'd stop trying to scare people. My understanding is that Russia wants peace, but the USA doesn't.

Kremlin was willing to keep Russia a dysfunctional and backward country feeding other former Soviet republics from oil profits. The West only had to accept Kremlin into the ranks of world elite. But the West refused so Kremlin had to rely on Russians again.

What a poignant remark from a Russian citizen. It says a lot with few words.

That's kinda not true, but of course this confrontation stimulated Russian goverment to invest more into domestic industries.

Government of Russian Federation is not exactly Russian. But I understand that this is a complicated topic.

Why do you think so?

Ethnic Russians were marginalised and discriminated in Soviet Russia, because Soviet Union by design was an anti-Russian project. Late Soviet elite was a curious amalgamation of Ukrainian, Baltic, Georgian, Armenian and other nationals. Russians were only allowed in when they were loyal. This group generally retained their position after the fall of Soviet Union and largely remains in power. Russia is basically a mono-ethnic state, because Russians comprise the majority of population (above 80%). But ethnic minorities have all preferences, and Russians are not mentioned in Constitution. The list of grievances goes on, but, as I said, it is complicated.

Sounds much like the US currently, we native-born US citizens aren't nearly as beloved, at least by msm/Gov/Fed/Corp America, as the wonderful 'migrants'.

I've had a recent observation after Tucker-Putin interview. 30 yrs ago Russian's were looking to immigrate to USA. Now there's FAR more Americans trying to migrate to Russian than vis-versa. What irony!

The people of the USA want peace, the (((people))) in control do not for some reason, I think they have some ties to Ukraine and I think this is a great time to rob the USA blind and launder it all through Ukraine.

Ukraine was a Zionist job. Nazis were the useful idiots. Israel wants a backup country for when Israel is erased from the map.

Nazis/CIA and Zionists/Israel are two wings of the same genocidal bird. They both did 9/11

A bit over-simplistic, but neocon ideology is indeed the glue linking zionists with US/UK imperialism. At the core it's a project to control the resource collateral in Central Asia and Siberia by using jihadi proxy groups and regime change ops.

The Empire of Lies *could be* Lying? Golly Jee, I am SHOCKED! 😂

In all seriousness: If this is their choice for 'Black Swan' a la 'Guys, no elections this year because a Russian Super Weapon is going Clock to us!'... I gotta say, it doesn't sell very well! 😅

Actually, this might simply be a build-up to what they really have planned this year. One thing I feel confident of - the Democrats DO have a plan - Joe Biden even admitted it in recent months. Strange that no one listened - but then again, the elite nearly always reveal their plans but are rarely listened to.

They have a plan for the election, not so much for the policy. But even for the election, the degree of competence is less than impressive

You look at these people running things (best look at Fanny with your eyes closed) and they all seem like fools, but they keep winning! Other than 2016 we are routinely handed our asses in elections. They don't have to be smart. Look what happened to the investigator Brad Rafelsberger assigned to look into the 2020 election. His car exploded so forcefully that the engine landed 'over there.' And yes, that was his daughter's fiancee, and yes the State Trouper who investigated that 'accident' died suspiciously also.

I am already standing in line as we wait for their "Safe and Effective" Doomsday Weapon Vaccine. I suspect Pfizer already has warehouses full of the wondrous elixir.

No more dirty tricks ! The last time I allowed myself to be given only the Russian vaccine (Sputnik), because I know that Putin would never allow his people to be destroyed by a vaccine, but I would never trust Biden ! Then I didn't mention Pfizer, which is mostly owned by Bill Gates, who wants to wipe out 90% of the planet ! Is there really such an idiot as to inject himself with a drug that is owned by a person (?) who would confess to wiping out the majority of the planet's inhabitants ?

But Gregor, dear, do not get upset. To give you more details on a harmful Big Pharma way of working: Moderna spikes are also owned(100%) and designed by Bill Gates + assisting group of veterinaries. No Wonder they find electronics(Microsoft) and man-made spikeproteins in.

Well he could have sent that Pfizer vaxx to Africa and Asia instead of prioritizing old males in the west like himself. No country could even buy it even if they wanted to pay.

And now the EU is also going to go down the 'Military-Keynesianism' route.

While losing its cheap energy supplies.

Whilst having to avoid any of the US MIC NATO monopolies on various systems.

While in economic freefall, with growing enormous Public unrest.

Sucks to be Putin, ey? He was almost crying at times from the love he felt from his manual labour population, and completely unscripted too, so obviously. Unimaginable for almost anyone in Britain's Political Classes, with rare exceptions such as Jeremy Corbyn. There's probably a few Frenchies wanting to give Budanov a medal for his sadly early-revealed plans...

Thanks for the hard work Simplics, I wish your chosen name was easier shortened without becoming an insult. ;)

I think that *was* the plan, which is one of the reasons in the last Czech election a NATO general was instated as president, one of the ideas I think being to make a failing German automotive based economy switch to weapons manufacture...but then a number of things happened: Fico and Orban, the Republicans, and the growing recognition that Russia was going to win too rapidly for any medium term economic restructuring. My feeling is that Eastern Europe was supposed to switch. However I think barring nuclear war the most likely outcome now is a Trump victory, NATO restructuring, settlement with Russia over Ukraine, a US policy that is more focussed in the domestic, and a Europe with more "right wing" realpolitik pragmatists. Realistically that means Russian gas, more nuclear power, and at least a decade of economic stagnation or decline in Europe.

Never understimate the sheer stupidity of Western 'elites' with an idea stuck in their heads.

What you said is what SHOULD happen, if they were clued into reality and had a free hand to craft sane policy.

But the Western Corporate sector have quite handily bought the politicians, who passed laws restricting State investments into potentially profitable private industries, which has left only the military industrial complex (Which is by definition State-funded) as the recipient of State investments.

Military-Keynesianism is all they have left to "Pump employment" if they wish to keep the oligarchs happy.

1984 was written after Orwell listened to all the upper class twits and oligarchs during WW2, and realised what effects these brainwashed, privileged morons would inevitably create when they were in charge.

And, here we are. :Shrugs:.

Perhaps there is enough sense of 'Reality' for sober rational policies in the West, but I wouldn't bet on that...

Trump will never be allowed to occupy the White House again. I don't even think there will be a 2024 election. If there is it will be purposely and obviously fraudulent. So much so that a majority of the population knows it. Collapse is the only thing I see in the future for the USSA...

We’re not very keen on quoting Marx, but this time “History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce”.

The quote itself quotes Hegel’s Philosophy of History: “But it became immediately manifest that only a single will could guide the Roman State, and now the Romans were compelled to adopt that opinion; since in all periods of the world a political revolution is sanctioned in men's opinions, when it repeats itself. Thus, Napoleon was twice defeated, and the Bourbons twice expelled. By repetition that which at first appeared merely a matter of chance and contingency, becomes a real and ratified existence”.

Awesome report Simplicius!

My bet on the new weapon is the one where the US House needs to be pressured to sign on to the US Senate bill to continue funding. There is nothing new today that didn't exist a year ago, save for the funding battle. The MIC needs more more more and the MSM needs the scare porn to make that happen.

Probably Lies by the Jews of usa who hold the foreign policy of the us hostage , apart from the Black Sea setbacks Adveeka is going along quite well as is most of the front line, Question is can Russia make leaps in the drone intelligence dept to further the Trojan war aspect of this and any future wars. Also i feel there are a lot of Russian patriots in Ukrainian govt circles and throughout Ukraine. When all else fails they take you to war -this is the Jewish psyche in charge of the White House. Since in USA the catholics and wasps fought each and lost whilst the jew reigns supreme in finance ,educstion, media hence the LBG.. degeneracy in the usa , all from jews and no one else.And i would listen to a few programs of DR.SHIVA4PRESIDENT the inventor of email as he has interesting info on how the system in the west works though he calls them zionists whereas jews is the correct word to use, though they always play theatre controlling boths sides and it is not just jews but i feel the jesuits are still in the game big time but well hidden and behind the attacks against the Orthodox Christians of Ukraine , dont forget stalin was educated by them, so they seem to be a clique . Question is how the germanics of usa let the jews to attain high positions of power wheras Byzantium forbid any jews from Civic Adminstration , finance or education and lasted one thousand years. The jews were largely behind 1917 with aid from various other circles ie jesuits, banks, brits.The only country in the west with a stable economy is Australia and that is because of Steel and Coal being half the economy of Oz and from billions in foreign investment including black laundered money, all others including usa are counterfeiters to keep afloat, easy to see why most things you buy are Chinese and the Germans make trash cars made to fail after warranty to keep their bank accounts full.Henrymakow who calls out his own shows chabad degenerate leader calling in 1994 for a war of slav against slav and now we have war.

Jews are adherents of a religion. Zionists are adherents of a cosmopolitan tribe which promotes the Zionist project. Not all Jews are Zionissts. The Neturei Karta are specifically anti-Israel and fly the Palestinian flag. The other Jews hate the N-K. Google it, and find maybe 500,000 Jews who don't buy into the Talmud and (like nearly all rabbis before 1942), think "Israel" is an anti-God project, a usurpation by political nationalists. When they call Jews to Zion, that is supposed to be done by God. According to Judaic canon. In fact, Zionists are atheists, functionally speaking.

Zionsts want Jewish unity and tribal identity, based on the "Israel" project. Anyone with a brain wants Jewish disunity, no tribal identity, based on obedience to God and the goal of everyone having a good life, not just "the chosen people".

That is why it's very important to distinguish Jews and Zionsts, even if 90% of the Jews are Zionist. That 90% is going down a little with the true genocide of Palestinian people. Not enough to give any hope for a big Jewish turnaround, but some things are along time giving birth, and Jewish humanity will take a long time to come alive, if it ever does.

Many thanks Simplicius.

Funny how the world is waking up to a reality that you and other competent analysts having been describing for a couple of years now. It reminds me of the other global disaster created just a few years ago to which people are also very slowly, too slowly, waking up to.

Listening to Hitler talking about the 35,000 tanks was eerie..... a little bit like listening to Satan himself, or at least his Avatar
