There are some conflicting interpretations of what’s going on, in the wake of Zhou’s disastrous European trip—which is continuing into farce back in DC: Who’s impressed with this performance? Certainly not world leaders—not the hapless EU crowd and, least of all, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Reality is pressing in around the World Economic Forum (WEF) and their vassal states: the EU and the US. Weird to think of the US as a vassal nation, but the notion that We The People are still calling the shots here is something that will have to be proven in concrete action and results before it can be accepted.
Yes, thank you Mark, this is one of your best posts and, it seems to me, approaches the beating heart of the globalist cabal's demented project. You are a keen and principled observer of events in this so-called WWIV,
a kind of strange and wonderful cross between Ernie Pyle and Russell Kirk (pardon my clumsy metaphor). To me you are indispensable.
Thanks Mark for the fantastic post. I think Luongo is right (as usual) in his analysis. He is, I believe, right that the neo-Cons and warmongers in the Exec branch and Congress will push for military escalation. I don't know that the Pentagon will be the limiting factor for preventing that escalation, though. I think it more likely that Europe will be. I think the European political and financial system leaders will back down shortly given the ramifications of their supporting a direct military attack on Russia. They may be stupid but I don't think they are all insane (other than maybe Poland) and they are certainly not courageous. Even Davos and its band of billionaire lunatics doesn't have enough money to pay off all of the people needed to suicide the European continent and the world economy. At least that is what I hope.
Reading Mark's post i can't help but wonder, At what point do each of us become culpable in this evil? It bears resharing this short video, not only because it's funny as heck, but it makes a serious point for all of us: are WE the baddies?
Seriously, at some point, each of us bears personal responsibility if we continue to allow this Regime to stay in power. Not because of voting--- most of us know elections at the federal level are shams-- but because we continue to do all the things that allow and empower this Regime to function.
For example, at what point did the ordinary German citizen have a duty by all that is holy and righteous to oppose the Nazi regime? In the 1930s, certainly. That would have been relatively easy before Hitler came to power. And anyone who voted for him is guilty too. But what about the ones who didn't vote him in, who actively agitated against him and donated to good candidates and causes without success? Is that enough? Did those Germans have a moral duty even after Hitler came to power?
Because that's the position i feel we're in now. Sock Puppet isn't Hitler, of course. The Regime, however, is every bit as evil. What's our duty here? At some point we are deserving of being wiped out by the wrath of a world that has suffered at least 75 years of US abuse and now stands on the edge of needless starvation due to the Regime's policies viz Russia. To say nothing of God's judgment.
I think we are deluding ourselves in order to avoid hard truth that we must do something more than hope for 2022 or 2024. If Republicans in Congress are hot and bothered for war now, we are deluded to think it will change in 2023. At some point, when we reasonably know that elections are not going to bring down the Regime, what's our responsibility?
Com on guys, Biden said none of this happened and he never said any of those things!! And he said it in front of a bazillion people, so why all hand wringing?
Hey, the “Big Guy” has it all under control.
Why, he has more foreign policy experience than all the rest of the politicians in the world combined. How can you possibly question his skills and ability?
Sorry everyone, I had a momentary “vaccine side affect event” and would like to revise and extend my previous remarks.
Biden and the collective group of stupid people who created this dumpster fire, appear to be dead set on bringing the world to complete and total destruction while in pursuit of their misguided goals.
As has been pointed out, these buffoons don’t realize it will not end well for anyone.
Tom Luongo's comment about push back from the Pentagon I just don't see. My gut feeling is the Pentagon has been emasculated / castrated with a Woke Office Corp, that has been culled of warriors with the Vaccine Mandate and in the Obama Era where anyone not Woke, was canned. The upper education requirements for advancement, along with the woke infiltration of the academies has furthered this.
My guess is there is a faction, probably with real experience in Finance, that is running around as if their hair is on fire. They see the weakness / frailness of the current financial system that has been stressed by Covid, and the huge bubbles created through QE 1-5 (or was there more?), and inflation. As well as all the manipulation that goes on in the various markets, from stocks (I am sure the plunge protection team is working hard), to commodity futures, to raw resource futures.
Another faction is the one that focuses on Biden's Job Approval Rating to avoid a mid term wipe out. It is all about the narrative, and they were trying a reboot with the Biden Tour of Europe to replicate Reagan's, Tear Down that Wall, Moment. They are also pushing their Jan 6 insurgency narrative. They believe they can just print more money, to keep power.
And there are the Globalists / Neocons, that believe they can regime change Russia, blame Russia for everything, and use the fall out of their sanction policy to create their new world order.
I heartily agree that, despite his presentation style, Alexander Mercouris of the Duran is worth listening to, though putting him at 1.25x or even 1.5x speed helps!
Biden has jettisoned all but the flimsiest pretenses of seeking a diplomatic solution to end the horrors of the war in Ukraine. Instead, his administration keeps ratcheting up the self-righteous rhetoric while moving the world closer to ultimate catastrophe.
RUSSIA MFA: RUSSIA HOPES THAT BIDEN'S EMOTIONS WILL NOT LEAD TO HIM DOING SOMETHING IRREPARABLE AND DANGEROUS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD WHILE UNDER THEIR INFLUENCE

So many of your articles are so spot on that all I can do is comment as KD does, Yep.

But Zhou has Irish roots....
