    Thanks, I did have to got Vietnamese sources for a few things cause I simply couldn’t find any western reporting on the front in Ukraine collapsing, but in general that’s precisely the reason I try to stick with western mainstream sources as much as possible.

    By the way, I love how Merz blurted the truth out a little while back where he said that losing access to Russian energy is at the root of the economic crisis. It’s funny how these people know what they did deep down, but they simply cannot admit it openly.

    I get the impression that the leadership decides on what they want to be true, and then just selectively fits the facts to reach the conclusion. You gotta remember that the 90s were the formative years for these people. The Soviet Union fell apart, the US became the undisputed world power, and they could literally do anything they wanted. And this went on for decades. The idea that the US could do anything it puts its mind to as long as there’s enough will has become deeply ingrained with the decision making class. The world has slowly changed, and the US has lost its primacy, but all these people are still stuck in that brief unipolar moment thinking that if they just manifest hard enough, then they can get what they want.

    I’m not so sure, I think these people do get high on their own supply. It’s unavoidable when you create a bubble where people just keep telling one another what they want to hear. We have lots of examples throughout history of elites being completely blindsided by the historical events. We should not assume that these people are smarter than everyone else just because they control a lot of capital. Their power base ultimately lies in the west, and the entire western system is now under pressure. The situation in Europe is most acute, but the same contagion is present in the rest of the bloc. When the crash comes it’s going to affect the whole system.

    The American strategy is likely to Ukrainify Europe, so that when the Ukrainian men run out, they can be replenished with Europeans. And for that, unemployment and desperation must increase in Europe and some form of attack from Russia needs to be provoked or fabricated.

    The US has invested heavily in boosting its domestic energy production to survive the impending collapse resulting from their war on Iran. Europe has made itself dependent on American energy, and now with energy shortages, the Yanks say sorry, we need all our energy for ourselves now. Being cut off from energy will contribute to further Ukrainification of Europe which can be used against Russia.

    European politicians appear to be behaving like idiots and can’t look out for their countries’ own interests, and the obvious explanation for it is that they’ve been put there by the Americans to do exactly what they’re doing now.

    The plan might be to threaten Russia with nuclear weapons via their European proxies, without having to stand behind the threat themselves. Of course the risk there is that the war becomes too extensive, but say that the Nordics or Germany would have some “own” nuclear weapons sent toward St. Petersburg and Moscow. Their calculation might be that Russia would strike back at the countries that launched them, but not at the USA, since that would mean mutually assured destruction. It’s the only path left to seriously inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, which has been the goal of Project Ukraine all along. After that, they can seriously turn to China.

    If you go back and study what plans the Americans had for nuclear war during the Cold War, this is not beyond the bounds of what’s conceivable. It’s just a matter of which forces are in power in the USA, and it’s moving toward an increasingly extreme regime now. American system depends on being able to extract surplus value from the rest of the world. The dollar, technological superiority, brilliant propaganda, and the military have been the tools used to maintain it. Now these tools are losing their functionality, not least because of BRICS, if that keeps going then there will be an economic and political collapse in the US. So the war is existential for all parties here.
