Lots going on today, and especially there’s lots of fallout from the US attempts to bully China into submission. A lot of what we’ll be looking at follows on very logically from John Mearshimer’s very lucid reflections yesterday. It’s clear that the Chinese are very angry and are aligning there policies with Russia’s. Before we look at that specifically I want to highly recommend Will Schryver’s latest full length substack (I’ll be recommending other pieces as well):
I've just come back from a visit to my native England. Good food and beer, but boy, the delusion is strong there. It's like Britain in 1940 except the brave boys in blue this time are those wonderful Ukie freedom fighters. And of course, we're all in this together, willing to make any sacrifice to save democracy from that evil Mr Putin! I'm not sure anything can prevail against such stupidity.
An article that manages to include all the great alternative commentators of the moment. Great job, Mark! Yes, it looks like neocons/globalists want war to hide the economic collapse, hang on to power and push us towards the Great Reset. However, my question is, if they do want war, why are they doing everything they can to ensure that they will lose it? Why provoke China and Iran into allying with Russia instead of dealing with them one by one? The neocons could have at least sweet talked and strung along the other two powers while they isolated and attacked the third. But no, they managed to anger all three at once and push them closer together. Maybe they have suicidal tendencies and really believe that they can survive a nuclear war.
I am compelled to say that this is a brilliant thread of posts, encapsulated by your excellent commentary as well, Mark. Every time I read one your recent posts I say to myself "Thank you, God, for Mark, who believes in You and to whom you have given the mind and ability to express his beliefs and disseminate them so well." You are obviously blessed and dedicated. The contributions of you and some others (those whom God has chosen to be sufficient) in this day and age are invaluable. I do not say that often enough in response to your posts and for that I apologize. Please accept my thanks.
Events are moving at a very fast pace and Biden’s handlers seem hell bent on pushing them even faster and more uncontrollably.
Am I the only one who thinks that we are about a half-a- heartbeat away from WWIII?
As has been mentioned by other commenters, we have no diplomats, no statesmen, no seasoned political thinkers, just a bunch of dim witted amateurs who don’t even realize how far out of their depth they are and how this towering display of incompetence has brought us, as Mark put it, to the brink. Makes the Cuban Missile Crisis look like a Sunday picnic.
“American policy makers” of the 21st century. Their absolute failure to read and understand history, or the arrogance that tells them that they don’t need to. The Kool-aid they drink. Do they make policy decisions and then pose for instagram? I marveled at the lack of understanding of Afghanistan, but that place has always been a difficult backwater. But to fail to understand the realities of Russia, China, and old fashioned international diplomacy? It’s like obnoxious narcissists who have never had to complete their homework inherited Kissinger’s playbook, but have zero depth of understanding the plays they call.
At this point no one is "sleep-walking" into World War III, the people in power have been made well aware of the risk -- it's just a risk they've consciously chosen to take, due to a combination of hubris, inertia, and ideological zealotry. They're not asleep, they're wide awake
In the Grand scheme of things from a Geopolitical perspective it doesn't really matter whether Putin is a dictator or not (I think he is and a nasty one to boot)
However, Russia sits on massive wealth of Oil/Gas and Mineral wealth as well as having a huge territory and is using it to maximum benefit, unconstrained by the delusional belief of the Climate Hysteria Enthusiasts.
Whereas the US, due to the current Biden Admin, is swearing off Energy Independence and any further exploration of its Oil/Gas/Mineral wealth, fully in cahoots with the Climate Hysteria Enthusiasts, and relying solely on the $$$ printing press, printing money it does not have in order to pursue policies it cannot really afford.
Adding more sanctions on Russia will only backfire in the long run. This is a very unbalanced and volatile path the Biden Admin is pursuing here i n regards to the Ukraine Russia conflict. I do not like Putin, but don't see how Russia cannot come out ahead here in the long run, and time and proximity are on their side.
This Arizona Hearing yesterday had some pretty explosive testimony, about money laundering, election fraud, bribery of state and local officials, naming names, and linking tons of stuff to Sinaloa Cartel, and claims they have been screwing with our elections for a long time, and bribing officials, cops, judges, lawyers, etc. Check it out here https://treasureliberty.com and hope some of this gets broader publicity. And someone gets held accountable. Always good to read your thoughts!

Shryver eats Moreini’s breakfast, lunch and dinner! Some small consolation for the utter disbelief and despondency of the present.

Beginning is excellent look back at war start 1 year ago and mistaken assumptions on both sides that kicked things off.
