Or at least those elements of this Zhou regime with some lingering contact with reality want out. Are scrambling for some face saving exit strategy. I want to recommend a number of videos and podcasts. Thanks for reading Meaning In History! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
On the linked two Alex's podcast, the best part from AlexM: "What we have in Europe is a virtual construct of a political system, it's incapable of making decisions. It lives in a fantasy world of its own creation and it can't escape it and the political leaders, they're not even real leaders, they're not even real politicians ... they live in a bubble and if the bubble bursts, they're gone."
I'm beginning to think that there was a coup at this year's Davos 2023, spearheaded by Jamie Dimon, et. al. It's why Schwab was sidelined and why Soros didn't even go.... but is going to the Munich Security Conf. to urge for WWIII, which, I think is nearly unavoidable at this point.
Note how the EU continues to press forward with more sanctions on Russia while the US is quietly lifting them for the states most vulnerable to Russia (Bulgaria and Romania). It's not window dressing or face saving. This price cap on diesel fuel is absolutely part of the Schwabian faction conducting rearguard actions by increasing friction in global commodity markets where ever they can to keep trying to 'win' through economic attrition. They still have real power in the bureaucracy and they are using that to screw up as much as possible, even as they are being sidelined.
I think you're right that there is a strong faction within the US which is trying to extricate us from this insanity in Ukraine, the problem is that there is still a powerful faction trying to undermine it.
Filter the world through my lens and it's clear we are still dealing with a Globalist cabal intent on burning down the world through the irresponsible use of the US military.
Great post and thanks for the shout out, as always!
I've argued before that they never wanted or expected the war they actually got, but to quote Hunter Thompson "You buy the ticket you take the ride". At this point they fear the consequences of any decision they make. They want Ukraine to win but fear Russian nuclear escalation if they do. They want out but they fear another Kabul. They want Putin to get regime changed but I suspect at least some of them fear four digits worth of Russian nukes rolling around loose if that happened. They want a negotiated settlement but fear having to explain the necessary concessions after the costs they have incurred. They want "Peace with honor". They want a "Decent interval". They want a pony and a plastic rocket.
I suspect that the DS is indeed trying to get rid of Biden and put a new face in to lead the US out of the morass. If this is true, they are doing it very cleverly: by using the documents scandal as a lever, they can also get rid of Trump on the same charge. Fair treatment, don't you know! Meanwhile, the biggest target for anyone human who wants to see their children grow old is to get rid of the neocons once and for all. If they remain in power, they will move on to a new project after this one fails. As for Tom, I generally agree with his viewpoint. Maybe it's Yellen running things, but she always seemed like a mediocrity. I'd still like to know how Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett are spending their days. We might be surprised. Finally, for China's Covid response, who can tell? It could have been an attempt to dampen the western economy (it worked!). It could also have been the Beijing leadership throwing their weight around and showing Shanghai who's boss. The fact is that China has emerged from the Covid lunacy, if not firing on all cylinders, at least on the upward path again. And the big question remains the same: what will the maniacs in DC do to hang on to their fading hegemony?
Mark, thank you for remaining committed to bringing these terribly troubling presentations together for your readers.
Scott Ritter, [near the end of the Youtube posting here in comments,] noted there have been over 300,000 Ukraine forces lives taken, unnecessarily thus far and predicted a doubling of that number by August. I pray for some semblance of sanity to rise up and stay much of that horror. Judge N noted, asking 'all this was unnecessary'? affirmed by Scott without hesitation. Should anyone think, perhaps Ukraine patriotism, deep loyalty to 'democracy' there, people simply 'wanting to be free' is what justified this travesty being where it is today, do not forget the United States of America's 'President' stating a 'small incursion' would be kinda-sorta okay. He had it all, well in hand. When, beyond war casualties are numbered there will be possibly a million of the world's people put at risk of starvation and other related death. This is inexcusable. Blood on the hand of the USA's leadership is understated. And, I suspect like Afghanistan, political wrangling will rule the day (w/helpful MSM fully engaged) and blame will be averted and redirected.
It is my thought there are several international forces at play, likely arrayed against one another due to differing agendas. Zelesnky will be joined by Joe Biden as fall guys and the assortment of those nefarious forces will live to 'ruin another day' so to speak. The American actual taxpayer will be footing the bill whether we agree to all this or not and the takers of this country will happily spend time staring at their phone screen recording a new dance move or whatever, with calm assurance to vote for whatever name is in front of the D on the next ballot. All while millions suffer and die due to this country's 'leading'. This is simply heart breaking. I do wish the best to all readers of Meaning in History. We're living within what will be known as a very dark time in history. Thanks for letting me have a voice here. (WRH)

Amazing!

Josef, Janet and the Neocons, full of bluster, possess the collective intellect of an amoeba, yet they are still in charge, God help us.
Excellent
