The War in Ukraine Marks the End of the American Century
💬 “The ferocity of the confrontation in Ukraine shows that we’re talking about much more than the fate of the regime in Kiev. The architecture of the entire world order is at stake.” – Sergei Naryshkin, Director of Foreign Intelligence.
You’re kidding me? You mean the ruble is surging and Putin is raking in more dough on commodities than ever before? Yep, and it’s the same deal with Russia’s trade surplus. Let me get this straight: The sanctions are actually hurting the US and helping Russia, so the experts think we should impose more sanctions? Is that it? Precisely. Now that we have shot ourselves in the foot, the experts think it would be wise to shoot the other one too. Am I the only one who is struck by the insanity of this policy? So the revenues from gas and oil sales are literally flooding Moscow’s coffers like never before. Meanwhile, energy prices in the EU and America have skyrocketed to 40-year highs. Can you see how counterproductive this policy is?
Imagine if the Ukrainians use Biden’s new artillery battery (HIMARS) to shell cities in Russia? Then what? Then Putin takes off the gloves and shuts off the flow of hydrocarbons to Europe immediately. That’s what’s going to happen if Washington continues to escalate. You can bet on it. If Russia’s “Special Military Operation” suddenly becomes a war, the lights across Europe will go dark, homes will begin to freeze, factories will go silent, and the continent will slide headlong into a protracted and painful depression. Does anyone in Washington think about these things or are they all so drunk on their own press clippings they’ve completely lost touch with reality?
