THE CRUNCH IS COMING FOR THE COLLECTIVE WEST
Western economies are headed for severe economic collapse. It will add to the social collapse already underway. Poking the Russian bear was a huge mistake, one the collective west will pay dearly for.
After all the blood and treasure lost in waging regime change wars of choice the western powers are now in the midst of even more finances draining inexorably away as their economies start to crumble. Of course we mustn’t fail to mention the Covid pandemic which contributed to this drainage. Staggering out from the Covid crisis with the UK already significantly weakened through its ill-times exit from the EU, things don’t look at all well for Britain. A Britain now imploding due to racial/religious tensions that have fueled recent riots.
In Germany we hear news of Volkswagen calling it a day there after being unable to operate profitably due to the counterproductive sanctions on cheap Russian oil and gas, the mainstays of the German economy over decades. Political turmoil is hitting France with Macron revealing the sham that western democracy truly is. He acts as dictator, demanding that the will of the French people not be realized. Similarly in Germany Scholz, though massively unpopular, as shown by the success of all anti-establishment parties in Thuringia and Saxony recently, is just clinging on by his political fingertips.
Meanwhile, in the USA the national debt just passed thirty-five trillion dollars. Progressively nations are dumping their dollars and buying gold, while trading ever-increasingly in local currencies. Sooner or later BRICS will announce a currency of its own and at that point the US dollar will eventually not be the sanctions blackmail tool it is now. De-dollarizing will be the most significant means of quarantining US/western aggression yet. Perhaps partly due to all this the gushing flow of taxpayers dollars into the corrupt Ukrainian money pit has finally begun to slow. The last aid package arranged at the Ramstein NATO meeting with Zelensky and co. was paltry indeed when compared to previous donations. Billions are now lost via Ukraine to Cayman Island bank accounts held by Zelensky and his cronies, or has been spent buying palaces-cum-fortresses in Switzerland or Israel. Half a million and more Ukrainians dead or wounded and around two thousand more adding to the total each day that dawns.
While all this is going on, the targets of western angst, Russia and China are doing very well thank you very much. The sanctions on Russia have proven a boon to its economy. Now Russian businesses profit where western ones used to, the profits and taxes stay in Russia and are invested daily there due to a fast growing economy. Really the Russians have a lot to thank the Americans, British and Europeans for. Russia is growing ever more self-sufficient. Some industries will take longer to find in-country spare parts and essential elements for new builds (the project underway to produce an ultra-modern Russian airliner is one such). If you look at the Ex-pat YouTube videos or the plethora of pro-Russian videos on TikTok you will easily see how Russia is doing when compared to the West.
Vladimir Putin has recently issued a decree that comes into force this month that will vastly ease the restrictions on those in the West wishing to leave its increasingly sick environs and come to Russia. There will no longer be tests to check knowledge of the Russian language or history and the initial three-month visit can seamlessly flow into you becoming a Russian citizen. Many Americans are seeking a more traditional environment in Russia where their families can feel safe and none of the western malaise has found any purchase. There are also major flows into Russia for work or for tourism from all Russia’s friendly allies. The Chinese and the Indians in particular are flocking to Russia. Behind and supporting all this are increasing trade flows underpinned by developments within the BRICS group.
Talking of the BRICS group, the upcoming meeting will most likely be the most groundbreaking of all. With over forty nations in the queue to join and more expressing interests on a regular basis, things could hardly look brighter for those nations the western powers have so wanted to destroy. It is perhaps the ultimate irony that in their hatred and overweening hubris, reliant as they tend always to be on the threat of violence and doing harm, of always exhibiting a bully’s mode of influence and control, they have ended up committing a very real economic and social suicide on themselves. This is poetic justice indeed. As the saying goes, ‘Those Who Live By The Sword, Die By The Sword’, though in this case the death of western power and influence will be by the death of a thousand economic cuts. The quarantining of western aggression then, is decidedly on its way.
Well put, Sam!!
