The four female freaks of the apocalypse who are pictured above, they and their multitudes of sisters who infest the "West" . . . I am considering seeking asylum in Mongolia!

Don't do that. Stick around and enjoy the freak show. We need you to keep Main Street sane. Our guv'mint may be past saving, but during the Great Depression many Americans ignored FDR and lived the good life in spite of him and his phony socialists and crony capitalists. I kept my passport current so I could go back to Europe, where I lived for ten years, when things got hairy. Not any more. Europe is down the drain. Now the safest and best way to cope is to stay local.

Send address when you get there Tex, I’m considering Transylvania. Figured I can deal with the now and then vampire and werewolf because but nothing seems to work on neocons: holy water, silver bullets, wooden stakes, garlic, logic, common sense, historical insights and they just keep on coming!!

If I go I will be doing the nomadic herder lifestyle. The -40 temps. will definitely take a lot of getting used to, they say Mongolian women are very warm. Maybe a Mongolian shaman or Buddhist monk could do something with the neocons.

Mark, it seems Zhou is once again living up to Gates’ assessment of hisbeing wrong on major foreign policy matters for the past 50 years - the g(r)ift that keeps on giving, woefully and grimly for Americans. And as Mercouris so eloquently points out, this foray into Ukraine will have achieved the unthinkable: driving Russia and China together and isolating US/Europe!!! Keenan was right, so prophetic…thanks for links to these thinkers who, as you do, share their informed insight and knowledge with us!

Another excellent piece, Mark, and thank you (and other readers) for introducing Simplicius76--his analysis is first-rate.

Really hope that S76 (and other astute observers) are off on Transnistria (unlikely as that may be), as I have someone very near-and-dear with 101st right in that neighborhood who's supposed to be home in a couple of weeks.

Moldavia just changed their president 4 days ago,

Protests there about energy costs.

Current, or past one, is Wef alumni.

Pretty sure it was the Prime Minister, another woman, who resigned. President is still Maia Sandu, as WEF as it gets--Harvard's Kennedy School, World Bank, etc. Not sure how Moldova's government works (e.g., whether Pres or PM is the bigger deal), but Sandu's definitely head of state for diplomatic purposes, so, what the WEF wants, the WEF gets, in this case.

Just discovered Simplicious myself. His earlier post about Russian total war was excellent.

I wish we had traded Victoria Nuland for Brittney Grimes. I wish Russia had asked for Nuland. I wish.

What a valuable lesson in history on the march! I just am so uncool I don't know who the four girls are at bottom of your post, and the Twitter source did nothing to enlighten me.

top left: Greta Thunberg, semi-autistic environmentalist scold and future Nobel prize winner. Heavily promoted by the global powers-that-be. 4'10" tall, so technically, a midget.

top right: Some married cop fired for having sex with many members of her dept. Her husband is standing by her (hence, newsworthy). Somewhere in the deep south. Despite that, her "partners" all resembled WWF stars more than Barney Fife.

bottom left: The foreperson of the grand jury or whatever considering the Trump indictments in Georgia. Making the media rounds and causing much gobsmacking due to her obvious vacuity. Her instagram posts reveal heavy larping into witchcraft (potions, etc.).

bottom right: Sam Bankman-Fried's girlfriend, likely flipped by the feds to testify against him. A math prodigy and president of one of his subsidiaries, criminally funded by assets of FTX customers who paid real money for a token that SBF created out of thin air. Her physical appearance coupled with revealed posts about competitive sex caused much cognitive dissonance

I read an interesting comment on Larry Johnson's site yesterday that had a good explanation behind the overall reasons for why Odessa and Transnistria are important, along with what Russia has already taken along the Black Sea. For the psychopaths, it's all about the control of the Black Sea and locking out Russia. Put a great deal into perspective!
